Actress Felicia Farr (Mrs. Jack Lemmon) getting chummy with Groucho in May of 1971 at the premiere of "Plaza Suite," which starred the Lemmons' good friend, Mr. Matthau. Groucho would often tell Jack, "Y'know, I'm crazy about your wife..."

On this day in 1893, Lillian Gish was born in Springfield, OH. In 1988, I wrote to her asking if they had scripts and dialogue to memorize in silent films, or if the director just gave them a sense of what was being said. This was her astonishingly informative reply. Classy lady.

Chico and actress Laurie Mitchell in the L.A. production of "The Fifth Season" at the Civic Playhouse in February of 1957. The play was about the New York garment industry, so no wig or Italian accent for Chico. (Obviously, the newspaper was only interested in showing Chico.)

Erin Fleming and Groucho in front of an L.A. restaurant in early 1972. Their expressions and body language speak volumes (one of which I wrote and which is available in print, Kindle, and audiobook formats).

Very sorry to see this. I knew she had been ill, but didn't think death was imminent. Met her once, briefly, at a screening of "Zelig" in Manhattan. Very talented lady. Alas.... https://t.co/8Qcnmnl61s

Nice portrait of Groucho at a London press conference in June of 1964 promoting his appearance as a guest (not host) on the pilot of "The Celebrity Game" quiz show for British TV. The pilot never went anywhere.

Rare color (not colorized) slide of Chico shooting the keys on the set of his ABC "College Bowl" series, late 1950 or early 1951. (You can see one of his cue cards to the left, which begins "WELL, THAT'S ALL WE GOTTA TIME FOR TONIGHT...")

You realize, of course, that when he's not awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace, he's going to want Stockholm "completely obliterated." https://t.co/bQc7YQWgrm

On this day in 1897, Rouben Mamoulian was born in Tbilisi, Russian Empire. I had the pleasure of meeting the director at a tribute in the early '80s. He was kind enough to sign this original still of Fredric March and Miriam Hopkins from his 1931 "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Groucho and deadpan singer Virginia O'Brien on the cover of the March 28th 1943 issue of "Radio Life." They were plugging their radio show "Pabst Blue Ribbon Town," which was premiering that week. O'Brien, in addition to being part of the show, had appeared in "The Big Store."
