Illustrated with 48 pages of monochrome archive photos. 9¼″ x 6¼″, 319-page hardcover in splendid Like New condition, apparently unread, in Like New price-clipped dj, conserved in an acid-free, archival quality clear Brodart cover. The first lines of this book accurately describe its contents: "For forty years my act consisted of one joke. And then she died." Her name was Gracie Allen, but she was on a first-name basis with America. There was only one Gracie, and Gracie: A Love Story is the story of her life, as told by the person who could tell it best, her husband George Burns. Burns brings to life the charming lady who was smart enough to become the most mindless woman in show business. "SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE...." With those familiar words, George Burns and Gracie Allen bid farewell to devoted audiences at the end of each of their broadcasts throughout the Golden Age of radio and television. In this moving portrait, George Burns tells the story of life with Gracie, whose "illogical logic" charmed America. Burns recalls their first meeting, the vaudeville tours, family days in Hollywood, and their lasting friendship with other entertainment greats. Here is one of America's most beloved comedians remembering the woman he loved and the extraordinary life they shared together.
