Gracie and Blanche interact almost as much as George and Gracie. Bea Benadaeret perfected a low-key bafflement that is FLAWLESS and never condescending or overdone. Gracie valued her work VERY highly.

And she was the voice of Betty Rubble in the Flintstones cartoon.

I heard Lucille Ball tried to steal her away but couldn't get her out of her contract.
