On this day in 1893, silent superstar Lillian Gish was born in Springfield, Ohio. I'd wondered if the silents had scripts with dialogue to memorize or if they just gave a general sense of what to say. I wrote to Lillian Gish - pushing 95 - and received this remarkable reply.

On this day in 1977, Julius Henry Marx shuffled off this mortal coil, bringing an end to the life of one of the greatest comedians of all time - and an end to my incredible 3-year stint as Groucho's personal secretary and archivist. The entire experience changed my life forever.

LIFE magazine photographer John Swope, Henry Fonda, and James Stewart - all roommates at the time - attend a 1937 costume party at Marion Davies' home in Santa Monica. The theme was "The Spirit of '76," so they honored that theme - but came dressed as Harpo, Groucho and Chico.

On this day in 1890, Julius Henry Marx was born in New York City. I suspect all of you are grateful, in varying degrees, for all that he brought into the world of comedy. In my case, he changed my life immeasurably.

Rare photo of Groucho and Zeppo at a tribute to the Marx Brothers at the Gallery of Modern Art in New York in 1967. This was the event that triggered the Marx Brothers Renaissance of the late '60s and '70s, when their anarchy was embraced by the new generation of Baby Boomers.

Bob Hope stops by Groucho's 85th birthday party. Groucho said, "This is a man who has made ME laugh." Hope said, "Aw, Groucho, you don't have to say that." Groucho said, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't say it." Hope said, "It's been like this for 40 years - I can never top you."

Groucho, Harpo and Chico taking flight before taking flight on a United Airlines Boeing 247 in the Spring of 1935. They were probably in the midst of touring to test scenes from "A Night at the Opera" on live audiences before committing them to film.

There are no harp or piano solos in "Duck Soup" (1933), but here are Chico and Groucho, working out a duet on a piano during a break in the filming. Although the guitar was Groucho's instrument of choice, I witnessed him playing simple tunes on the piano in his living room.

Actual color (not colorized) photo of Times Square in the summer of 1946. Note the faces of Chico and Harpo above the marquee for "A Night in Casablanca" (Groucho's face not visible). Also showing nearby were "Our Hearts Were Growing Up," "Night and Day," and "The Outlaw."

Rare promotional photo of Groucho from "Rhubarb," a 1967 unsold pilot for a sitcom based on H. Allen Smith's novel. Groucho is wealthy J. Paul Greedy and Rhubarb is his cat (who owns a baseball team). Not sure if the pilot still exists, but it was taped.

50 years ago today - January 1, 1974 - I got a phone call from Erin Fleming, which led to my campaign to get "Animal Crackers" rereleased, which led to Erin and Groucho coming to UCLA to support our cause (see pic), which led to my working for him - and my life forever changing.

From November 1932 until May 1933 (after "Horse Feathers" and before "Duck Soup"), Groucho and Chico starred in a half-hour NBC radio comedy series, "Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel." Groucho was crooked attorney Waldorf T. Flywheel and Chico was his assistant, Emmanuel Ravelli.

Buster Keaton, working for scale, attempts to punch up the script for "At the Circus" (1939). When Groucho told Keaton his gags didn't really fit the Marx Brothers' style, Keaton explained, "I'm only doing what Mr. Mayer asked me to do. You guys don't need help." Bittersweet.

Groucho, Harpo, Gummo, Zeppo and Chico celebrate the publication of Groucho's memoir - "Groucho and Me" - in 1959. This was among the last photos taken of all five brothers together. (Still hard for me to believe I actually got to know three of them.....)

W.C. Fields and Groucho (with Don Ameche in the back) at Edgar Bergen's birthday party in February of 1938. I asked Groucho what sort of a man Fields was. "Drunk," was his succinct response. This is the only photo of these two comic giants (and friends) together that I've seen.

Groucho and Harpo taking a break from the filming of the football finale of "Horse Feathers," Spring of 1932. (It's possible Chico was still recuperating from his near-death auto accident at this time and they were either filming around him or using a double.)

A very happy 88th (!) birthday to my friend, the brilliant Woody Allen, who has shown astonishing resilience in the face of the groundless campaign by The Farrow Gang to destroy him. This is us on the set of "Cafe Society." (Any anti-Woody comments will result in swift blockage.)

This is the other non-Chico/Harpo photo I had Zeppo and Groucho sign in 1975, during my 3-year stint as Groucho's secretary/archivist. Fittingly, when Zeppo called me from Palm Springs to ask if he could date my ex, I spoke to him using a (new) candlestick phone in my dorm room.

Herman J. Mankiewicz produced the Marx Brothers' three funniest films: "Monkey Business," "Horse Feathers," and "Duck Soup." Here he is, c. 1932, wearing Chico's hat and pants; Harpo's wig; Groucho's eyebrows, glasses, moustache and coat (and maybe Zeppo's shoes??).

Harpo, Groucho, Chico and Zeppo - with golf clubs - in Zep's L-29 Cord Phaeton at the Lakeville Country Club in Great Neck, New York, 1930. They were big Broadway stars with two films under their belts. Hollywood beckoned the following year.

Posed shot of the 4 Marx Bros. in June of 1932, filming the football finale of "Horse Feathers" at Occidental College. Chico's heavy-duty leg protectors were the result of a near-fatal car crash in April, which shattered his kneecap, broke 3 ribs and sidelined him for 10 weeks.

No, it's not the Capone gang; it's Chico, Harpo, Groucho and Zeppo in London, January of 1931. Before moving from NY to Hollywood to start on "Monkey Business," they toured, performing a pastiche of scenes from their Broadway successes.

On this day in 1901, Herbert Manfred "Zeppo" Marx was born in New York City. People joke about how little he added to the Marx Brothers' films, but once he left the act, he became one of the biggest agents in Hollywood. And he had genuine charisma in person; a very colorful chap!

Color (not colorized) slide of Zeppo, Chico, Groucho, Harpo, and Gummo in 1959. Don't know the location or occasion. Harpo wore a red wig onstage and in person, but it only registered as gray on black-and-white film, so he was blond in the movies.

Chico and Harpo were gone years before I got the job at Groucho's, so I found a couple of photos with just Groucho and Zeppo and had them sign them. When Zeppo saw this, he said, "GOD I was good-looking!" At first, I thought he wrote "a wise guy," but it's "a nice guy." Oh well.

This is either a hyperrealistically carved totem pole or a photo of the Five Marx Brothers on the set of "Duck Soup" during production of the courtroom scene in 1933. Gummo (bottom) wasn't in the film, but stopped by Paramount that day. In 1934, he and Zeppo would become agents.

Quite a lineup: Clockwise from seated: Harpo, Edgar Bergen, Ken Murray, Groucho, Jack Benny, George Burns, and writer Hal Block, for whose article in an October 1950 "Collier's" magazine this color (not colorized) photo was taken. This was at the Hillcrest Country Club.

On this day in 1898, George Gershwin was born in NYC. Why am I posting a photo of the Marx Brothers? I'm not; I'm posting a photo of Richard Rodgers as Zeppo, actress Justine Johnstone as Harpo, George Gershwin as Groucho, and Cartier's CEO Jules Glaenzer as Chico in 1929.

Groucho out of makeup during the vaudeville run of "On The Balcony" in Kansas City, MO, in December of 1921. Strauss-Peyton Photographers specialized in painting backgrounds directly onto the glass negatives, hence the "ghostly" backdrop. Groucho was 31 here.

Groucho at his desk in his bedroom office, 1958. The setup had changed very little when I started there in 1974. He appreciated the fact that we appreciated the same authors, and he said, "You can borrow any of my books - just make sure you return them!" I did.

Harpo, in his "Horse Feathers" costume, getting tough with Gary Cooper on the Paramount lot, Spring of 1932. Coop was in the midst of making "Devil and the Deep," and this street looks to have been made into Algiers for that film. Both pictures were released in August of 1932.

Groucho signing something for Fritz Feld (who played Jardinet in "At the Circus"), while the ever-ebullient George Jessel looks on. This was at an event in January of 1977 at the Wilshire Hyatt House. It would be Groucho's last public appearance. I was there....

The premiere of "The Cocoanuts" on May 23, 1929 at the Rialto Theatre on the corner of 7th Ave. and 42nd St. The Marx Brothers had only finished appearing live on Broadway in "Animal Crackers" the previous month. The Rialto was demolished in 1998.

On this day in 1922, Charles M. Schulz was born. I had the pleasure of voicing a few Peanuts specials and co-writing "You're In The Super Bowl, Charlie Brown." A friend who worked at Bill Melendez Prods. prevailed upon "Sparky" to inscribe my copy of "Snoopy and the Red Baron."

Groucho had the original pen-and-ink of this 1971 William Hamilton NEW YORKER cartoon on his front entryway wall. He, too, was alternately amused and annoyed by pretentious intellectualizing about their movies - which were only intended to be funny, not shrewd political satire.

The Four Marx Brothers acting silly (imagine that!) for a publicity shot promoting the original Broadway version of "Animal Crackers" (1928). Note Harpo's dark (red) wig, which he wore onstage, but switched to blond for films so it would photograph lighter.

Chico, Harpo, Zeppo and Groucho in 1924. Before making movies, Groucho would occasionally sport a home-grown moustache - even under the greasepaint one. It finally became a permanent facial fixture in late 1946 after he went solo with "Copacabana" and "You Bet Your Life."

255
In August of '34, Groucho starred as eccentric impresario Oscar Jaffee in the Hecht/MacArthur comedy, "Twentieth Century" at the Lakewood Theater in Skowhegan, Maine. He was apparently quite good in this non-"Groucho" role. He's shown here in the lobby with playwright Owen Davis.

My successful 1974 efforts to get ANIMAL CRACKERS back into theatres for the first time in decades led to my life-changing job working for Groucho. Five years later, its network TV premiere on CBS (in primetime!) on 7/21/79 merited a TV GUIDE spotlight. Very gratifying indeed.

Not the Capone Gang. It's Chico, Harpo, Groucho and Zeppo at the Palace Theatre in London, January 1931. They performed scenes from "I'll Say She Is," "The Cocoanuts" and "Animal Crackers." The next month, they moved to L.A. to begin work on what would become "Monkey Business."

Nice two-shot of Nathan Birnbaum and Julius Marx on the set of the 1976 Bob Hope special "Joys." There was no studio audience, but I was there to witness Groucho's last actual acting gig. Although he was on a couple of talk shows after this, "Joys" marked his final "performance."

Three happy Marx Brothers on the MGM lot in 1935. MGM exec Irving Thalberg had seen "Duck Soup" and had said, "I could make a movie with you boys that had half as many laughs and made twice as much money." For better or for worse, he was right. The result: "A Night at the Opera."

"Horse Feathers" originally ended with Harpo setting fire to the college, Groucho winning Thelma Todd, and the brothers playing poker. This was cut before the original release and replaced with the wedding scene. These are the only images I've seen of the original ending.

James Thurber drew these caricatures of The Marx Brothers - and a horse - for a 1937 issue of "Stage" magazine. Groucho had the framed pen-and-inks on his hallway wall. His caricature was on the back of the horse drawing, but he preferred to frame it with the horse showing.

Zeppo, Groucho, Chico and Harpo in the Napoleon sketch from "I'll Say She Is" (1924), their first Broadway success. Note how far Zeppo's and Chico's hairlines had receded by then, hence the need for toupees/wigs later on. As usual, Harpo wore a red wig onstage, blond in films.

Chico's wife, Betty, and daughter, Maxine, visit Chico at Paramount on the set of "Duck Soup" (1933). I got to know Maxine a bit when I worked for Groucho and when I lived in New York. She had her father's eyes and crooked smile, which was a little disconcerting. Tough broad.

On this day in 1887, actor/dialect comedian/inventive pianist/compulsive gambler/compulsive womanizer Chico Marx was born in Manhattan, NY. Here he is, masquerading as Leonard Joseph Marx, in an MGM publicity shot from 1941. Despite his flaws, he seemed loved by all who knew him.

Nice color closeup of Groucho listening intently to reporters' questions at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 1972. At the ceremony, Groucho was made a Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres. Despite his wit and a wordplay reflex second to none, he was, at heart, a serious man.

On this day in 1901, Zeppo Marx was born in New York City. During my 3 years at Groucho's, I got to know Zeppo - we even dated the same girl. He had a charisma that never had a chance to shine onscreen and was much happier as a very successful agent after leaving the act in '33.

A couple of rare shots of the Marx Brothers testing the examination scene from "A Day At The Races" onstage in the summer of 1936, before filming it. Once again, Harpo wore a red wig onstage but a blond wig on film, so that it would photograph lighter than his brothers' hair.
