This banter between her and George was also very well written. <br />Gracie was truly funny, and very believable. On the show she always had this funny way of explaining something. She was one of a kind, very good at what she did, and made me laugh every time.

Not one photo have I ever seen Gracie with a cigarette so I don't know where you obtained your information that she smoked heavily if at all? Gracie had to breath many years of George's second hand smoke from his cigars but I doubt if even this caused her heart problems. Her mother died prematurely from heart problems and it probably ran in the family. Had she lived today chances are they could have prolonged her life since they have become so advanced with heart problems.In the early 60's they still didn't have solutions for many aliments as of yet.

I'm almost 80 yes old and ant TV and metv have given me the opportunity to relive these wonderful old Burns and Allen productions. But I'd like to make a few brief comments not yet mentioned in the previous comments. <br />First is the beautiful fashion icon Gracie was on the show for its era. Everyone actually. But Gracie in particular. But most special was their ability to write and act timeless comedy that we still appreciate and laugh at today without the necessity of vulgar themes or the use of profanity. No one was ever demeaned to embarrass or belittle. It's such a joy to realize all these years later that we can still laugh and enjoy a program without the inclusion of outrageous themes and vulgarity. Perhaps, the heads of programing for the studios in our current times could learn by joining us in watching George and Gracie. It was classic good humor delivered by 2 pros with the gifts and skills of acting and timing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806143949096548173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-22271363888356619502018-12-01T04:20:54.700-08:002018-12-01T04:20:54.700-08:0069 is correct: July 26, 1895 – August 27, 1964. ...69 is correct: July 26, 1895 – August 27, 1964. She was a heavy smoker, coming from a time before the dangers of smoking were realized. She had severe cardiac disease as a result yet this was before invasive cardiology existed; with heart failure patients all they could do was put them in a misting tent. In all probability today she would not have died as soon. Also it is being realized that the most important factor for heart disease is the LFHC diet of the last 40 years. So we can avoid premature death by changing to LCHF and of course not smoking. DrTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445205420052548130noreply@blogger.com
