My Life with Groucho by Arthur Marx

This book tells the "warts and all" story of the comedian Groucho Marx. Born into a poor immigrant family, Groucho ad-libbed his way from low life vaudeville through the Hollywood big time to achieve legendary status. But the cigar-wielding "master of the instant insult" was a comic of bewildering contradictions. Groucho was a family man who also had an eye for young women - and with every marriage his wives got younger. Explaining the huge disparity in ages he remarked "a man is only as young as the women he feels". He is described as both a big spender and a thrifty man in this book by his son Arthur. Other books by this author include "Groucho", "The Nine Lives of Mickey Rooney" and "The Impossible Years".
