Groucho Marx Biography

Short Biography

The bushy-browed, cigar-smoking wisecracker with the painted on mustache and stooped walk was the leader of The Marx Brothers. With one-liners that were many times full of sexual innuendo, Groucho never used profanity in any of his performances and said he never wanted to be known as a dirty comic. With a great love of music and singing (The Marx Brothers started as a singing group), one of the things Groucho was best known for was his rendition of the song "Lydia the Tattooed Lady."
