George Burns Barbara Walters Interview pt 2

[@scottbrandts610]

Nothing in this world that anyone could possibly dislike about this man. Just the perfect, consummate human being.

[@andreaszulauf2834]

He really seemed to be a kind human being. When he talks about Gracie his facial expressions are so honest . As if there were no cameras around

[@leannebell6404]

George and Gracie loved each other and it was cut short..

[@junegiovanni6475]

George Burns was 83 year's old in this Interviewed in 1979, he turned 90 in 1986 and died at age 100 in 1996) he knew that he was gonna live to 100. He outlived his wife and one child and his own doctors and siblings and course his parents and his best friend. He smoked 13 cigars a day since he 14 years old and drank martini every day. And he wasn't a gym rat who ate healthy and didn't smoke or drank...He smoked and drank and still made it to 100 years old. What a legendary life.

[@Idk-dd2gn]

That being said, he famously ate very healthily and had an exercise regime. Watch “George Burns - His Wit and Wisdom” he gives a whole run through of his routine

[@workingclassclassicalguita730]

implying that tobacco doesn't cause cancer... the additives do

[@amiblueful]

He said for years that he was going to play Vegas for his 100th birthday. Sadly, although he made it to 100, his health was too poor to fulfil that promise.

[@hunterluxton5976]

​@@amibluefulit was the Palladium in London not Las Vagas. Not that it teally matters.

[@allysonkho2017]

God he loved Gracie!

[@hunterluxton5976]

I was 11 in 1979. I had visited California the year before in April 78. It was such a sensational holiday for a boy from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. He looked so well and healthy for an 83 year old. Beautiful skin.

[@blazonbyrd5996]

I actually remember that interview with George & Barbara. Man, I'm old. Happy New Year, Scott!

[@user-ne6gp4gn6x]

george burns was very funny and so was his show with gracie

[@WilliamZeebub]

thanks,now tune in before you fall asleep again

[@howardsternssmicrophone9332]

Can't believe Barbara is 50 here. She looks pretty good here in my opinion.

[@bigbleepingfortress]

I talk to them about their homework. :D I take it this is from 79, if he was 83 at the time.

[@DABA2024]

How did Barbara Walters know to do the ‘Goodnight Gracie’ bit that never actually existed??? 😮

[@reibersue4845]

💯

[@bluepacman13]

Bingo!

[@manyhappyreturn1]

Because it was a closing in their acts.

[@DABA2024]

​@@manyhappyreturn1go look it up. They never, ever said that line, and that is my entire point 😮

[@michellweaver2748]

As much as I love George and Gracie why is it there is never a negative word said? nobody is perfect?

[@JRobbySh]

Well, Gracie is in heaven, and therefore perfect. All the other stuff has been burned away.

[@kaseyblack6763]

Michell Weaver well I think when you lose someone you love you tend to remember and miss all the good things

[@Idk-dd2gn]

I think that period was maybe more graceful than now, it was uncouth to say anything bad about anyone on a public platform so people kept it private. I didn’t grow up in that time so I’m just guessing but that’s how it seems.

[@vicmclaglen1631]

:25 How do you get a man to explain his life? Exactly.

[@WilliamZeebub]

[@michaelm4464]

Why does she suddenly turn British at points during this interview?

[@ToyKingWonder]

Because she's a nut, always has been.

[@JRobbySh]

Not a fan of hers. But here she is a girl talking to a beloved uncle. He seems to have been lovely man.

[@junegiovanni6475]

Because she half british, her mother is british and her father is a yankee...That is how she always talks, she never changed...you must be young because thats how she always talks. She was mimicked on SNL, The late great Gilda Ragner who portrayed her on Saturday Night Live. Thats her signture voice.
