![]() ![]() When the Marx Brothers began their film career, Groucho was largely credited as the one that kept order (as much as one could keep the Marx Brothers in order). After the Marx Brothers films, Groucho met great success as a solo act. He starred in the film Copacabana, with Carmen Miranda, and in 1950 turned his radio show into the TV show You Bet Your Life, which ran on NBC until 1961. In 1974, Groucho was presented with an honorary Oscar by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Groucho died on August 19, 1977 from pneumonia. |
