Groucho Marx (October 2, 1890 – August 19, 1977) was an American comedian, actor, comic vocalist and game show host who performed in vaudeville, Broadway, films, radio, and television. A master of the one-line retort, he is considered one of America’s greatest comedians.
Groucho was the third born of the Marx Brothers, with whom he appeared in three Broadway shows and thirteen feature films, usually portraying a fast-talking, slightly shady protagonist and frequent foil to the antics of his brothers Chico and Harpo. He also had a successful solo career, primarily on radio and television, most notably as the host of the quiz/interview show You Bet Your Life.
