GRACIE ALLEN

Nominations: 6

In terms of noms, she bested her on- and offscreen partner, George Burns, during the entire run of the pair’s classic 1950–58 The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. (He didn’t receive any love until he was finally honored in 1990 for a TV special.) But she had to say “Good night” on Emmy night, as she came up short behind Lucille Ball, Dinah Shore and others.
