Notice the manners of this man, as he starts to tell the story, he remembers that Debbie Reynolds is sitting next to him and feels it would be rude to have his back to her and tell the entire story to Dick. He makes an obvious effort to address them both, it's something small but it's a reflection of the man and his awareness of others and that makes a deep impact on me. That kind of old world sensibility is something that is sorely lacking these days.
Groucho made more money later in his life, and actually had Alice Cooper to thank for that. Alice and his manager Sheb Woolley came to Groucho’s home and Groucho was talking about how he never made much money. Sheb offered to look at his finances and quickly found Groucho was owed millions and had uncashed checks sitting in a drawer.
Groucho was literally best friends with Alice Cooper. Alice mentioned in an interview that they would get together and talk about vaudeville and classic movies. Not to mention, Groucho would bring many movie star friends of his to Alice Cooper’s shows which is how Alice came to know practically every famous person in Hollywood.
@@alittlebitoflight I believe this appearance was in late 1971. It is either the last or among the last sit-downs he participated in. Although perfectly lucid, Groucho, by then, had suffered the first of several minor (and later not so minor) strokes. Clearly no objective viewer could have seriously questioned his sobriety. It was the same Groucho--- but at maybe 31or 32 rpm. Or A-flat instead of A.
What would you have done in Groucho's situation? 😆
take the other shoe and throw at the office and keep running
Me, I would've fled to Elba. But, I'm a traditionalist. 🐧
Make a better effort to be funny?
I don't know what I might have done, but I would have avoided invading Russia, for sure.
I would have uploaded the entire show for people to watch.
Rest in powerful peace 🙏

Jennfersman. This is good, albeit sad, to know. What is your source for this information?
@@MrKlemps Sheb Woolley wrote a book about his years managing Alice Cooper and there’s a documentary film on his life.
Surely Groucho wouldn’t have cared if he knew those cheques were lying around somewhere
@@dazzaMusic Right, but he was older then and either forgot about them or just assumed someone would take care of them

Great funny entertainer true treasure marx brothers
Funny that Groucho got Harpo's age wrong at the time of his marriage. He was 48, not 37.
Im talking about me. Im not interested in generals!
Is he drunk? :D
No. Am curious: what makes you say that? Have you never seen Groucho before?
@@MrKlemps I've never heard him before, but he also sounds slurred to me. Could be a degenerative disease, alternatively.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge (sincerely). You're obviously a proper fan, in the very best sense.
