The Irrepressible Gracie Allen

Find here a tribute to one of the cleverest gals To ever grace a show biz locale She mused that parties 'stand' for a platform For which voters 'fall' by the swarm

The only thing about her that I found grating was her baby voice.

Funny I read this just now as I just finished watching Gracie and George as celebrity guests on an old " What's My Line" on You Tube. They were great as are you !!! Happy Monday !

Nobody and nothing like Burns and Allen. Really treasured them back in the day. And what a coincidence, Mike! That's almost crazy, eh?! Thanks, buddy! Happy Monday night and Tuesday! :) gw

I knew she was married to George Burns. I didn’t realize how accomplished a performer she was. I like that she did an act running for President and representing the Surprise Party!

Oh, Gracie was first-class all the way. The original living doll. :) gw

I read “Gracie A Love Story” written by her husband. What a wonderful book. I love that you’ve pulled this out of your poetic mind!

Thanks for mentioning that book, Kim. I'm going to try it out for size. George Burns was a pussycat beneath that tough-as-nails exterior (and that cigar. Phew!) :) gw

She was clever, and funny, and what she said about politics is sadly true-
