The Marx Brothers began their performing life as teenagers in the early 1900s. After success in Vaudeville & Broadway they made their way into film. By the time “The Cocoanuts”(1929) was made most of The Marx Bros.were in their early 40s/late 30s!

There were 5 Marx Brothers: Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo AND Zeppo Marx. Their film work was mostly comprised of Chico, Harpo, Groucho & Zeppo while Gummo went on to be a successful entertainment agent & businessman. Zeppo would also leave film work to join Gummo in entertainment management & also his personal work in inventing/engineering things

I was embarrassingly old before I realized that Groucho’s trademark eyebrows and mustache were grease paint 😶 BUT he did grow a real mustache later in life

Lucille Ball murdered Harpo Marx and replaced him in The Marx Brothers. Because Harpo never spoke, it was the perfect crime.

Out in the alley, under my porch. I'm of an age where I Immediately start thinking Harpo Marx jokes.

There. I said it.
