Gracie's crypt is above George's, because he felt she deserved "top billing".

Do you have the Eartha Kitt video?

I've been reading "Gracie: A Love Story" by George... and I find that I'm falling in love with both of them. Definitely a class act!

1953....Has Bennet Cerf been longer on "What's My Line" than the pyramids been in the desert? Love this guy!

They were real gems from above for their time. We could really NEVER have the perfect/enuf words to describe these two. PERIOD!!

I have to say how clever this is, and how funny it is, and how well they all perform it. It's completely reasonable to have George and Gracie "answer" with knocks, and then to have Gracie, completely in character as her usual clueless self, give their identities away as if she didn't realize she was doing it. And you can see what a payoff the line gets from the audience as well as the panelists!

Such distinctive voices! Gracie was a beautiful little lady. Her mother taught her when dressing, to always remove one piece of jewelry and she'll never be overdressed, so she did. Gracie was the light of George's life. No, he went on very well for many years, but he never got over his "Googie". (She called him "Nattie", short for his real name, Nathan.)

@TheMightyOdin Goodness! That sort of goes against the theory that smoking shortens your life! Do you suppose he'd still be around if he hadn't smoked? (Probably older, but grumpier!)

@cheeriosinabowl Congestive heart failure. Today, it would be treated with medication or possibly bypass, but she could have lived many years longer.
Look at this and today's celebrities look as if they just rolled out of bed when they do talk shows.
George and Gracie were the best!
