You Bet Your Life
Groucho Marx
Many people, when they think of Groucho Marx, remember the Marx Brothers Films and You Bet Your Life his TV show, which is still shown in reruns somewhere on the planet. One can today, tune to American Movie Classics, and find a Marx Brothers Film playing at some time. Groucho was also a great writer. He wrote at least two autobiographies Groucho and Me, Memoirs of a Mangy Lover, and a book of letters: The Groucho Letters in addition to other books, which can be found in The Library of Congress. All that writing from a man who never graduated from grammar school, and all his books were best sellers. Many of them have been reprinted.
I can say that The Grouch Letters is one of the best books I've ever read.
Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx (October 2, 1890 – August 19, 1977), was an American comedian and film star. He is famed as a master of wit. He made 15 feature films with his siblings, the Marx Brothers as well as a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show, You Bet Your Life. He had a distinctive image which included a heavy moustache, glasses and fake eyebrows.
