Short description
The most outrageous of the Marx brothers, in his own words
Review
"The only thing the man can't do is sing, and that gave me an opening. But he can do everything else. I envy him this book, most of his wives and all of his talent" Frank Sinatra
Blurb
'The temptation to write about yourself is irresistible, especially when you are prodded into it by a crafty publisher who has slyly baited you into doing it with a miserly advance of fifty dollars and a box of cheap cigars' - Groucho Marx
Groucho Marx's autobiography is a rags-to-riches story with a difference. The most outrageous and voluble of the legendary Marx Brothers had a career that stretched from Vaudeville to gameshow, conquering Hollywood on the way. From the triumphs and disasters of a life spent in show business to his unconsummated loves, Groucho's story is told with humour and wit and in Groucho's own unique style.
As TS Eliot said of him: 'The mind boggles'.
Biography
Groucho Marx, geboren 1890 als Julius Henry Marx, war Schauspieler, Entertainer und kreativer Kopf der Marx Brothers. Er starb 1977. Für den Fall seines Ablebens hatte er sich gewünscht, über Marilyn Monroe beerdigt zu werden und Excuse me, I can't stand up auf seinem Grabstein einzumeißeln. Die trauernde Nachwelt zeigte sich jedoch weniger humorvoll und hielt lediglich seinen Künstlernamen und seine Geburts- und Sterbedaten darauf fest.
