Burns and Allen are one of the most well-known and beloved comedy acts in history. Their career of over four decades embraced vaudeville, radio, film and television. Everyone knows all about George from his many books, interviews and articles. Gracie, though, has always been a bit of an enigma. A private person, she didn't even want George writing about her because she never thought there was anything interesting or special about her. Gracie: A Biography of Gracie Allen is Gracie's story, based on years of research and (wherever possible) her own words. This is the biography of a true pioneer and one of the most loved women in show business.
