Description
The picture of George Burns that endures is of him smiling, squinting through his big black round eyeglass frames, and taking three puffs on his cigar. It is the picture of a man who could handle anything. He had the timing.He was perhaps the most famous and popular old man America had ever known, and surely the funniest. In an age of advice, when Americans were obsessed with magic messages, he offered something that used to be called wisdom.When he wasn't onstage, he was wise enough to keep his eyes open and his mouth shut. He was secure enough to know that being alone does not have to mean being lonely, that life need not fade so fast, abate with age, or decline with the deaths of friends and family. He loved to do what he did, he saw doing as living, and so he loved living With that love as his energy, he discovered the secret of renewal. This is the story of that renewal. ISBN:9780684814834
