George Burns was an actor and comedian who performed the majority of his acts with his wife Gracie Allen.

George Burns left school in fourth grade to pursue a career in entertainment. His career did not truly take off until he met Gracie Allen in 1923. Allen and Burns became both partners in entertainment and in their personal life, as they wed in 1926. Together, they performed a vaudevillian style act into the 1930s. At that time, they made the jump to radio and the big screen. In 1950, CBS began airing The George Burns Show, which ran until Gracie Allen's retirement in 1958. Gracie Allen died in 1964 and Burns began appearing in movies. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor after his performance in The Sunshine Boys. Burns died in 1996 at the age of 100.
