An Original Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Radio Still (Learn More) Groucho Marx (born Julius Henry Marx) was a legendary comedian/actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. He and his three brothers started on the stage (Groucho, Gummo, Harpo, and Chico). Youngest brother Zeppo joined, so for a brief time there were five Marx Brothers, but Gummo soon left the act to join the army. The remaining four performed on stage and signed with Paramount Pictures and made a number of memorable movies there. Zeppo then left the act, and the remaining three signed with MGM, where they had two of their best remembered movies: A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. In the 1950s, the brothers separated, and Groucho had a very memorable TV game show called "You Bet Your Life". In his later years, he was a frequent guest on TV talk shows. Groucho passed away in 1977 at the age of 86. To learn much more about him, read the fine biography "Raised Eyebrows" by Steve Stoliar (available as an audio book narrated by Mr. Stoliar, who was Groucho's secretary and lived with him for a number of years). Important Added Info: Note that we don't know what this still was created for, or what it is from. Given the "NBC PHOTO" on the back, we think it is likely a 1950s radio still from the radio version of "You Bet Your Life" (few people know it, but this classic show was simultaneously shown on TV and radio), but that is just our best guess. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this radio still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good. The still has some minor creases around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
