David Burns built a formidable reputation as one of the most reliable and beloved supporting actors on the stage, appearing in such plays as Pal Joey opposite Gene Kelly, Hello, Dolly!, The Price, and his two Tony-winning performances, each in The Music Man and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Burns' other movie appearances include The Great Ziegfeld, It's Always Fair Weather, and Let's Make Love, the latter opposite Marilyn Monroe.

On March 12th, 1971, while performing on stage at the Forest Theatre in Philadelphia during out-of-town tryouts for the musical 70, Girls, 70, originally titled Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen during early development, David Burns collapsed from a fatal heart attack at the age of 68.

Burns posthumously received a Tony nomination for his performance in 70, Girls, 70, and was posthumously awarded a Primetime Emmy Award for his role in the Hallmark Hall of Fame adaptation of the aforementioned The Price.

We know Stanley Donen from being a frequent collaborator of Gene Kelly.

He co-directed films with Gene Kelly, including On the Town, Singing in the Rain, and It's Always Fair Weather.

His relationship with Kelly soured towards the end in 1955.

He also, we've also seen his work from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
