In 1971 when I was 13, I wrote a letter to Bobby Van starring in No No Nanette. I told him my parents were taking me to see the show. He wrote back with a backstage pass. He was so nice. Over the next two years whenever we went to NY we stopped into see him. He was so nice to my parents and me. When he went back to California he was my pen pal. For a star he was a truly nice human being.

Sister Veronica It's unfortunate for Groucho fans (but, of course, fully up to Melinda) that she decided to retreat from the public eye more or less completely in the 1960s. I would love to hear her interviewed in a serious way about Groucho, but she's the only one of his three kids who's made a point of keeping silent, ironic considering that she was the best known to the public of his three kids, thanks to her many appearances on YBYL. I bought the DVD release of Groucho in a TV production of "The Mikado", despite having absolutely no interest in Gilbert and Sullivan whatsoever, solely because it included a brief audio interview with Melinda as a bonus (she had a small part in the show). This is almost the only example I'm aware of where Melinda talked about Groucho in public after the 1960s, so I had to hear it. Unfortunately, she doesn't say much of interest, focusing entirely on the production itself and talking very little about her father.

A friend of mine, now deceased, said he went to a filming of YBYL. The crew filmed for more than an hour to get the half-hour show. The director allowed Groucho to ad-lib as much as he wanted, and they would trim it down in editing. They also took out any pauses, in case Groucho needed a moment to think of a funny quip.

Read the story of David and Goliath in I Samuel 17, particularly vss. 33 and 45; "And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth...Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armys of Israel, whom you have defied. " In a nutshell, the point is that Goliath knew war, but David knew God. In addition, I encourage you to get over your bitterness. It is a sin and will keep a person out of heaven, be they sinner or saint. This is based on Christ's words found in Matthew 7:14,15 ( part of the Sermon on the Mount and at the end of the Lord's prayer). "For if you forgive men their trespasses / sins (against you), your heavenly Father also will forgive you, but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will you Father forgive your trespasses." Friend, don't harbor bitterness in your heart against anyone, whether God or man, institution or industry. It will eat at you inside and will cause physical and mental problems.

Another great episode. Melinda was adorable such a wonderful young girl. She is 73 years old now 2020 and of all 3 children Groucho had. Melinda is the only one still alive. I believe this part with Bobby and Melinda was rigged. Because they got every question right. Melinda did not know the answers to any of the questions

So funny hearing the audience react to any physicality beyond the “norm”. Ohhhhh he/she’s tall/fat/bald/attractive.

Wait a minute. Why did she win $50 by saying paper if Groucho said why don't use paper dishes? He gave it away!

Melinda seems a bit frayed. She was not the first victim of Groucho's textbook narcisism, a disorder for which there is no cure. For years people appealed, subtley or outright, toGroucho to cease his tedious interruptions, but he was unable to share his space and disliked being upstaged. As was necessary, he was thinking of what he must say rapid fire, and his repertoire was so vast. It was generally overwhelming and not always kind.

@Laurna Leto, I’m not sure about Melinda but I agree with everything you’ve said about Groucho. I loved the show and the Marx Brothers movies but his constant interruptions got tired after a while. Comic genius? Yes, absolutely. Annoying at times? Also absolutely.

I like Groucho but sometimes his silly remarks don’t give people a chance to speak, if I would have been that First Lady I would have walked off and said forget it, wonder how many times that happen? Could be they suffered fools gladly in them days.

I also heard that Melinda Marx was uncomfortable being pushed into doing appearances. She was talented but a reluctant performer, it seems. Off screen, Groucho wasn't exactly a nice guy if his ex-wives are to be believed. He could be cruel and insulting, and I wouldn't be surprised if he threw a few of his verbal darts at Melinda from time to time. .

Later in life Groucho admitted his constant sarcasm negatively impacted his marriages. It seems, from what I've read, his mother made it clear she really didn't like him that much, something that I suspect turned him into a cynic early on.

I disagree with Marx on Israel and anti Islamists, anti Cmmunist, anti Capitalist Egyptian Nationalists Nasser, but Groucho was the funniest Jewish comedian ever. His end of life care by his vile wife, was sick how he was abused because he could not walk far or well. This era was the best until they killed Kennedy then all changed for the worse.
