Groucho Marx, born Julius Henry Marx (October 2, 1890 – August 19, 1977), was a Jewish-American vaudeville comedian. He is most famous for his appearances with his brothers Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo as the Marx Brothers.
Early life
As a young Jew growing up in Manhattan, Julius Marx and his four brothers — Leonard (Chico), Arthur (Harpo), Milton (Gummo), and Herbert (Zeppo) — followed their uncle's footsteps into vaudeville. Each brother developed a characteristic stage persona; for example, Groucho wore a greasepaint mustache and smoked a fat cigar in imitation of a college professor, while Harpo rarely said anything except through a horn.
Solo career
Groucho went on to host the game show You Bet Your Life and appear on Dick Cavett.
