Wow! The manicurist in the Marx Bros.'s "A Night at the Opera" has finally been identified! That identity - Jean Burt Reilly - has been a holy grail of hard-core Marx fans. It turns out that she had a long, award-winning career as a hair stylist for movies and TV. IMDB updates have begun.

The manicurist in 'A Night of at the Opera' was played by Jean Burt (later, Jean Burt Reilly), per research by Robert Stryker of The Marx Brothers Council. The image shows some background information on, and images of, Jean Burt Reilly.

I can't recall the exact quote, so I'm paraphrasing; but Chico's daughter once said that if you spend time with Harpo, he will make you feel like he is the most wonderful person in the world, but if you spent time with Chico, he will make you feel like you are the most wonderful person in the world.
