Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the minds of today's audiences, George Burns was a solo act. But in the history of show business, he will long be remembered for his work with Gracie Allen. Few performers have enjoyed so much popular and critical acclaim. Together they enjoyed phenomenal success in vaudeville, radio, television, and film. Although they were celebrities, the two performers enjoyed a life remarkably free of scandal. After the death of Allen in 1964, Burns made commercials, a music video, and an exercise video. He wrote books and won numerous awards, and his nightclub and convention appearances did not stop until shortly before his death. Through a thoughtful biography and detailed entries, this book serves as a comprehensive reference to the careers of Burns and Allen together and individually. The biography summarizes their rise as vaudeville performers, their work in a range of media, and Burns' continued achievements after Allen's death. Sections of the book cover their work on the stage, on radio, on television, and in films. Each section provides detailed entries for their performances, including cast and credit information, plot synoposes, and review excerpts. Appendices list their awards, personal appearances, and archives; and an extensive annotated bibliography cites and discusses sources of additional information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes Burns' own quotes about his life and career *Includes a bibliography for further reading “You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.” – George Burns “I'm very pleased to be here. Let's face it, at my age I'm very pleased to be anywhere.” – George Burns A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Vaudeville comedy was one of the most important forms of entertainment in the history of the United States, though its hegemony faded during the early 20th century with the advent of radio, cinema, television, and finally social media. Still, in the years leading up to the development of the film industry in the last years of the 19th century, vaudeville was the leading form of mass entertainment, with a public comprised of a more working-class clientele than the traditionally bourgeois institutions of theater or opera. Moreover, the importance of vaudeville makes evident why the life and career of George Burns are significant. Not only was Burns one of the great vaudeville entertainers of the first few decades of the 20th century, he carried its legacy forward through his later work in radio, television, and film. Many Americans remember Burns today as the funny comedian who lived (and worked) for an incredibly long time, but Burns' prolific career, which lasted almost the last 75 years of the 20th century, not only demonstrates the enduring influence of vaudeville on radio, television, and cinema but also evidences important ideological developments, particularly related to ethnicity and gender. Where vaudeville historically relegated women to subordinate positions or excluded them altogether, George Burns' professional relationship with Gracie Allen represented a marked turn away from such retrograde gender politics, especially since it was Allen who proved to be the most popular of the duo. With regard to ethnicity, Burns was able to deftly do justice to the Jewish legacy that defined vaudeville, while also, as Lawrence Epstein has noted, managing to assimilate his Jewish humor with a Gentile audience. With his omnipresent cigar, Burns may have looked like a throwback to a traditional epoch, but he was an important progressive figure in the representation of Jewish-Americans and women in popular American entertainment. Although it's his career longevity that is mostly celebrated now, Burns' family background and career were inextricably intertwined, as his childhood was cut short in order for him to forge his career. Indeed, he turned to a career of comedy as a means through which to cope with great tragedy, but even after beginning his career, it would take more than two decades before he was truly able to succeed in the industry. It's also noteworthy that Burns had an uncanny ability to adapt to changes in entertainment, including the development of radio, films, and television. Throughout it all, Burns remained a master of consistency who sustained a career longer than many people live, an accomplishment he managed through subtly altering his performance style so that he could adapt to different media and the evolving tastes of the American public. As such, any biography of George Burns must explain not only what made George Burns famous but also how he managed to stay so famous and become one of the most recognizable comics of the century. American Legends: The Life of George Burns looks at the life and career of one of America's most beloved comedians. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about George Burns like never before, in no time at all.
