George Burns (born Nathan Birnbaum; January 20, 1896–March 9, 1996) was an American comedian, actor, singer, and writer. He was one of the few entertainers whose career successfully spanned vaudeville, film, radio, and television. His arched eyebrow and cigar-smoke punctuation became familiar trademarks for over three-quarters of a century.
When Burns was 79, he had a sudden career revival as an amiable, beloved and unusually active comedy elder statesman in the 1975 film The Sunshine Boys, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He continued to work until shortly before his death, in 1996, at the age of 100, of cardiac arrest in his home.
Early life
George Burns was born Nathan Birnbaum on January 20, 1896 in New York City, the ninth of 12 children born to Louis "Lippe" and Dorah (née Bluth) Birnbaum, Jewish immigrants who had come to the United States from Romania. Burns was a member of the First Roumanian-American congregation.
His father was a substitute cantor at the local synagogue but usually worked as a coat presser. During the influenza epidemic of 1903, Lippe Birnbaum contracted the flu and died at the age of 47. Nattie (as George was then called) went to work to help support the family, shining shoes, running errands and selling newspapers.
George Arbuthnot Burns, 2nd Baron Inverclyde (17 September 1861 – 8 October 1905) was the owner of a Scottish shipping company. Burns was the elder son of John Burns, First Baron Inverclyde (24 June 1829 - 12 February 1901).
On 6 April 1886, he married Mary Fergusson, younger daughter of Hickson Fergusson, of The Knowe, Ayrshire. However, he died childless in 1905, and the titles and business passed to his younger brother, James Cleland Burns, 3rd Baron Inverclyde (1864–1919).
He spearheaded the development of the steamships Lusitania and RMS Mauretania but died before the ships were launched. His wife, Mary, christened the Lusitania at her launching in June 1906.
George Francis Burns III (born July 29, 1949) is an Americanprofessional golfer who has won several tournaments at both the amateur and professional levels.
Burns won four PGA Tour events during that phase of his career. His first win came with Ben Crenshaw at the 1979 Walt Disney World National Team Championship in Orlando. The biggest win of his career came a year later at the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am. Burns had more than 70 top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour. His best finish in a major was at the 1981 U.S. Open where Burns held a three-shot lead going into the final round before finishing T2. Burns also had a T-5 at the 1977 British Open.
After reaching the age of 50 in 1999, Burns began play on the Senior PGA Tour (now known as the Champions Tour). His best finish at that level is a T-9 at the 2000 Brickyard Classic. He lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. He has two daughters, Kelly and Eileen.
George Burns tells his favorite joke about a Broadway actor who played eight weeks of vaudeville in Cincinnati.
