Groucho Marx (Julius Henry Marx) was an American comedian, famous for his acting method characterized by the fast speech, the use of puns, a lighthearted irreverence and an ill-concealed contempt for social conventions. His distinctive appearance included an exaggerated stooped posture, spectacles, cigar, a thick moustache, and eyebrows. This photograph depicts him while hosting You Bet Your Life, a comedy quiz radio-tv series.
