Here's a Marx Brother #DailyMarxBrother #Harpo Groucho wrote that Harpo simply was not very good at memorizing dialogue. It has also been said that Harpo reinvented himself as a mute clown by 1915 due to his nerves around speaking on stage; He did however sometimes speak in live performances.

Kinda wild that John Brown has only been depicted a handful of times in cinema and almost half of them are by Raymond Massey, once as a villain and then 15years later as a hero.

Hollywood should go back to its original business model: inscrutable financial decisions made from the New York office, a bunch of miscreants in Los Angeles trying to avoid provoking New York into shutting down the party. (See also: New Line Cinema.)

It’s been one of those weeks so here’s Carole Lombard inexplicably holding a small furry animal in a publicity photo for Ladies’ Man (1931). Based on my exhaustive five minute Google image search Carole’s pint-sized friend is perhaps a baby kinkajou.
