Page "Groucho Marx" Paragraph 20

Marx was asked to apply the greasepaint mustache once more for You Bet Your Life when it came to television, but he refused, opting instead to grow a real one, which he wore for the rest of his life.

By this time, his eyesight had weakened enough for him actually to need corrective lenses ; before then, his eye-glasses had merely been a stage prop.

He debuted this new, and now much-older, appearance in Love Happy, the Marx Brothers's last film as a comedy team.
