Happy Birthday to Classic Movie Legend, Harpo Marx, born on November 23, 1888!
Full disclosure: I just adore The Marx Brothers — their quick-witted zany comedy, their clever LOL-funny slapstick routines, and their absolutely marvelous musicianship. Harpo, of course, never spoke a word in those fabulous Marx Brothers comedies, but needless to say, he was a comic genius and not-too-shabby (HUGE understatement) on the harp! That said, without further adieu, a quick tribute to the ‘strong silent type’ Harpo Marx!
