The George Burns Special

George Burns was a legendary comedian and actor and arguably the greatest straight man of the 20th century. He started his career in vaudeville, and later made a successful transition to film, radio and television, when he formed the Burns and Allen duo with talented comedian and future wife, Gracie Allen. His arched eyebrow and his cigar smoking became his trademarks in an illustrious career that spanned over three-quarters of a century. With his passing at the age of 100 in 1996, George Burns solidified himself as one of the grand old men of American show business. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)
