    She was a brilliant comic of the old school. I doubt anyone has matched her delivery since.

    'Say goodnight, Gracie.'

    'Goodnight, Gracie'

    I can hear her voice.... I used to love their TV show, along with Jack Benny. Both had wonderful surrealistic elements that added to the humor and nurtured my early Dadaism

    Gracie foiled George at every turn with her innocent, simple-minded persona. They were great. I LOL still at their sign-off exchange.

    Re Gracie's cooking skills, I remember Blanche announcing that she had to leave "to fix some potato chips with cheese dip".

    "Blanche, you're so clever - when I have broken potato chips, I just throw them away."

    It is, isn't it, Paul? That one stuck in my mind many years ago.

    I feel so lucky to have grown up on George and Gracie.

    George said of Gracie that she was NOT a comedienne -- she was an actress. Any way you slice it, her material and her delivery were so original they still take my breath away.

    Comedienne or actress, Gracie was terrific.
