Gracie did a neat bit of hoofing in 'Honolulu' (1939), when- uniquely- she played a part separated from George till the last scene. Her straight (wo)man and dancing partner was Eleanor Powell, no less.
Yes Gracie could and did dance. She did a nice number with Eleanor Powell, "Honolulu" as someone else noted below here in the comments. Such fun and grace (pardon the pun).
These are the the Original Comedians. This is were it all began....George Burns/Gracie Allen Show, Andy Griffen show, Gomer Pyle, Joey Bishop, Jack Benny. These are the Original Kings and Queens of Comedy.....
@@zgh46840 I think they were equally talented, but verry different gifts. From George's memoirs, he clearly adored her. I can see why. I wish I'd have known her. She must've been a lovely, gracious, funny lady.
Chris Drake my grand mother met Gracie Allen walking down the street in New York City. She said that Gracie was just as gracious and funny as you would hope. Just not as loopy.
