Description Toward Books Gracie: A Love Story
I went to the library the other day and decided to grab a bio or two and saw this one. Burns and Allen were really before my time but I knew of them and had seen a few movies with them in it. And I remember George Burns from his Oh God movies too. I could hear George Burns voice narrating as I read in my mind. I loved the dry humor he had and loved reading about the most important 40 years of his life. The internet is great in helping us all see what we missed in those years gone by. As I read I was able to look on the internet and see who or what was being discussed in the book. I also managed to squeeze in a few clips of their TV show and loved them too. And even though I knew the ending I still cried and I hardly ever cry.List Books During Gracie: A Love Story

This biography of Gracie Allen is as the title states a true "Love Story". George Burns was married to Gracie Allen for 38 years and lived another 32 years after her death. One can tell from this book that his love for Gracie never dimmed in the remaining 32 years of his life. He states that he visited her gravesite once a month to tell her about his days. We learn new things about Gracie and her act(s). An example would be her running for president as a candidate for the Surprise Party againstI went to the library the other day and decided to grab a bio or two and saw this one.

Got this book because I love old time radio shows. The story covers the partnership and marriage of George and Gracie against the backdrop of vaudeville, development of radio, development of motion pictures and finally TV. In addition to the historic interest, George recounts lots of their dialog. You can just hear Gracie saying those illogical/logical responses that was the basis of their routines. It is also sweet that George is still so devoted to her in his 90s when he wrote this book. A

I love Gracie Allen. I thought it was awesome that her husband wrote this book about her. It really was a great read. His style of writing kept me interested and I really couldn't put the book down. I think having someone so close to her write about her, gave a better glimpse of her personality than anybody else could have. He really makes you fall in love with her.That being said,there are times in the book where he strays away from Gracie's story. He side tracks and talks about Jack Benny and
Such a sweet story about Gracie.I loved the skits they did on radio and on television.She had talent to turn what people said around all of the time.
