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.
"The Baby" is a song written by Michael White and Harley Allen, and recorded by American country music singer Blake Shelton. The song became Blake's second number-one hit, where it remained for three weeks in early 2003. It was released in October 2002 as the lead-off single to his second album The Dreamer.
Content
The song describes how a mother thinks of her children, especially the narrator. He describes being the youngest child in his family, and tells of various situations where he is referred to as "the baby" of the family. Later on, the narrator tells of receiving a telephone call to come to the family's home state of Louisiana, where his mother is dying (it is unclear whether she was in a local hospital or if she was at the family house under hospice care); however, he arrives shortly after she is pronounced dead. The narrator then laments the passing of his mother, stating "I softly kissed that lady / And cried just like a baby."
Music video
The video shows Shelton singing in a room with blue screens while watching flashbacks of his life and family. The roll of film also shows flashbacks and pictures of the narrator and his family. It was directed by Peter Zavadil.
Ann Gentry is a social worker wracked with guilt about having been the driver of a car involved in an accident that left her husband severely injured. She gets assigned to a new case: the eccentric and mysterious Wadsworth family, and quickly takes a special interest the family's youngest member—a seemingly mentally impaired adult man in his 20's who doesn't have a name and is called only "Baby."
Ann wants to work with Baby, who still acts and is treated like an infant by his mother and sisters, thinking that with the proper treatment he might begin to behave more appropriately for his age group. The Wadsworth clan has been neglectful and abusive to Baby, and while Mrs. Wadsworth has been extremely overprotective of him ever since his father left shortly after his birth, she won't let another caregiver interfere.
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.

Linda Blair and Ben Johnson presenting George Burns with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for his performance in "The Sunshine Boys" at the 48th Academy Awards® in 1976.
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.
Born in a family on 6 pence a day Down the farm, stacking up hay What a place to live, what a place to stay If they only used baby Georges ways Baby George ways By the time he was one, he was running around Quiet as a mouse, never making a sound He runs to town with a quick and dash Never trip, never fall, never had a bash With a quick and a dash Baby George Baby George Baby George Baby George Baby George Baby George Baby George When he was two, he had legs like a god Could beat a car from their house to the yard He was bigger than Jim, he was faster than Steve He was legend he was a dream Faster than Steve Sixteen years and he was still running around He was faster than a 40 mph troul He was king, he was a lord He was the almighty Baby George Baby George [Instrumental] Baby George Baby George Baby George Baby George Baby George Baby George
