Julius Henry Marx (Groucho Marx) was born on October 2nd, 1890 and died on August 19th 1977 at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. He was 86 years young, at his time of death.

Groucho's ashes are in a small room in the mausoleum at Eden Memorial Park in Mission Hills, California.

He said many funny cites but my favorite is:

"I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty"

His grave at the Elden Memorial Park in San Fernando (Ca) is very simple, only his name, the dates of birth and death and the star of David, even though for many years it was supposed it was the famous epitaphy:

“Excuse me, I can’t stand up”

 Also, in a report filed in 1,953, the F.B.I. rose the possibility that Groucho Marx was a Communist sympathizer.

It probably was the surname (Marx » Marxist = Communist) that tipped crackerjack FBI agents. That file is currently easily accesible by being unclassified.

There is also another funny story about him, yes, they say that one thing he loved about living in that out-of-the-way, small town of Southern California was the great amount of time during the year he could dedicate to gardening, which was a favorite relaxing activity of his.

Of course, there, no one did their own gardening; they all had gardeners, nearly all of whom were Japanese. But during the war years, Japanese were hard to come by, seeing as how they were mostly interred in prison camps.

One day Groucho was out of his small hut doing his own yard work while drinking a beer (sorry, but I cannot say the brand, I cannot do advertisement for free). A woman of high social status who herself was looking for a gardener pulled up in her car to talk to Groucho. She clearly didn't recognize him, in grubby clothes and without his greasepaint makeup.

She asked him, "How much do you get paid to take care of this yard?" to which he replied, "Oh, I don't get any money. I just get to sleep with the lady of the house!"
