Groucho Marx could do physical comedy, word comedy. He could make you laugh by mugging the camera. He could ad lib. He could tell stories. Just the best. He delivery was so quick that sometimes you missed it. My best example of this was a line of his from Animal Crackers. "We went to Africa to take some photos of the native girls, but they were undeveloped. So we are going back in a couple of weeks".

True story: in college I found a hideaway in a certain library spot to study. It was near the “show business” section. There was an autobiography of
Groucho’s near there and I took it off the shelf and read it. Then I read it again. I kept returning to it. By the end of freshman year I was totally in love. With an old, dead man. I began trying to watch his movies and tv shows etc. No one my age could cut it. I’ve kind of been in love with Groucho ever since.
