Gracie Allen .. .quote...

When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half.

Gracie Allen is probably best remembered as the sidekick of her husband, George Burns.
Several years ago I read his book, Gracie: A Love Story. I'd read other books by George Burns, his funnier side, but this one... is touching. It shows how much George really loved Gracie and I suppose, why he never remarried.

She called him Nattie, short for Nathan, his real name.

For some reason, one of the things that sticks out in my head is that he mentioned the zip code 90210 in his book as well as the address of their home.
