   "For 40 years my act consisted of one joke. And then she died." Her name was Gracie Allen, but she was on a first-name basis with America. There was only one Gracie, and this is the story of her life, as told by the only person who could, George Burns.

   GRACIE brings to life the charming woman who was smart enough to become the dumbest woman in show business history. Onstage she was lovable, confusing Gracie, who believed horses must be deaf because she saw so few of them at concerts, and who decided to cut her vacuum cleaner cord in half so she could save on electricity.

   Offstage she was a devoted wife, the loving mother of 2 adopted children, and through her career she managed to hide the fact that her left arm had been horribly scarred in a childhood accident and that she suffered from crippling migraine headaches.
