Young RUTA LEE on The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show

Here are excerpts of an adorable 16 year old RUTA LEE (as Ruta Kilmonis) on The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, at the beginning of her career. After all these years, she's still as beautiful as ever.

Such a cutie!

An omen of things to come. Ruta Kilmonis became blonder and, as Ruta Lee, her career took off. And the rest is history.

Great comedy!

SHe is good. She is very good. She should have gone further, been bigger. But they had Eve Arden and Nina Talbot and many other great supporting character players. The industry was just too well served at the time. Today of course it`s another story. But she is good, very good.
