Was gracie Allen considered dumb

Gracie Allen, a popular comedian and actress from the early to mid-20th century, was often portrayed as a "dumb blonde" in her comedic routines, especially in her partnership with George Burns. This persona was a deliberate act, showcasing her talent for physical comedy and timing. In reality, Allen was quite intelligent and savvy in her business dealings, contributing significantly to her and Burns' success. The "dumb" character was a comedic device rather than a reflection of her true abilities.
