SUMMARY:Gracie Allen – Underappreciated Comic Genius
DESCRIPTION:Gracie Allen is one of the funniest women ever to perform in American theater\, radio\, television\, and film. And yet\, if I asked you to name the greatest comediennes of all time\, you would probably mention names like Lucille Ball\, Carol Burnett\, Tina Fey\, and Mary Tyler Moore\, but you might not remember to include Gracie Allen.  That’s a shame because Gracie Allen deserves immense respect for creating one of the most memorable\, quotable\, and beloved comic characters of all time. \nGracie Allen – Underappreciated Comic Genius\nThis multimedia presentation will highlight the phenomenal career of George Burns and Gracie Allen. We will especially focus on the very talented but often underrated Gracie Allen. \nAmong the highlights will be Gracie Allen’s historical and hysterical run for the Presidency in 1940\, her ability to dance beautifully with stars like Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell\, and her lasting impact on vaudeville\, radio\, and television comedy. \nThis unique\, fast-moving\, and funny multimedia presentation will amuse and entertain you while opening your eyes to why the fabulous Gracie Allen deserves to be remembered as one of the great comediennes of all time! \n

SUMMARY:The Mary Tyler Moore Show
DESCRIPTION:Not only did Mary Tyler Moore “turn the world on with her smile\,” as her iconic show’s theme song declared\, she also influenced a generation of women to become more independent and to pursue successful and fulfilling careers. Moore’s own 50-plus-year career has spanned award-winning films and Broadway shows\, as well as two beloved television series that broke ground and continue to entertain viewers. \nThis fascinating multimedia presentation will offer fascinating insights into her difficult early life. Did you know she was born in Brooklyn?  We will follow her early career as a dancer\, unseen television star (as sultry Sam on “Richard Diamond) through The Dick Van Dyke Show and the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Her unique career\, fascinating life\, and enduring legacy make for a fabulous program! \n  \n
