Thirty years ago, comedian Groucho Marx died on this day. Marx was born in New York in 1890. His mother encouraged him and his brothers Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo to enter show business at an early age.

Harpo, Chico and Groucho
They worked the vaudeville circuit, then moved to Broadway in the early 1920s, writing their own musical comedies. One of their Broadway comedies, Cocoanuts, became their first film, in 1929.
After the brothers stopped making films, Groucho continued to have a successful performing career. He hosted a popular radio quiz show called You Bet Your Life from 1947 to 1956, which became a TV show and ran until 1961.

The show was revived briefly in 1980 with Bill Cosby as host. Groucho was still performing late in life: At the age of 82, he gave a one-man show at Carnegie Hall.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made. - Groucho Marx
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies. - Groucho Marx
Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him. - Groucho Marx
Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse. -Groucho Marx
I'm not feeling very well - I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course. -Groucho Marx
and finally,
I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
- Groucho Marx
