15 Photos Of The Man Who Played God, George Burns

See some of the best moments of the cigar-smoking legend of comedy.

By Neill Lynskey

Published 5 months ago in Funny

The comic who lived to 100 left a legacy that'll last even longer. 


George Burns is one of those very few entertainers who had a charm that transcended decades. He was one of the only stars to successfully transition from vaudeville to radio, then radio to TV and movies. He and his wife, fellow acclaimed comic Gracie Allen, starred in their own show for decades, until her retirement prompted him to launch back into making hit movies. 


He's was an actor, comic, author, broadcaster, writer, and he convincingly played God on the big screen - look back at a man who was genuinely on of a kind.
