The leader of the zany Marx Brothers, Julius "Grouch" Marx (1890-1977), enjoyed success in vaudeville, on Broadway, in motion pictures and on television. He was famous for his crouched walk, outrageous mustache, ever-present cigar and lecherous glances at female co-stars. The most popular Marx Brothers films, which remain cult favorites, include Duck Soup (1933) and A Night at the Opera (1935). Groucho also hosted the radio and TV comedy quiz show, You Bet Your Life (1950-1961).
