Groucho Marx

Day sixteen of our daily readings from “Dear Los Angeles,” a collection of letters and diary entries from 1542 to 2018, while all of us quarantine in 2020.

Today’s entry from 1954 is written by comedian Groucho Marx, offering some industry advice and foreshadowing the split that would come two years later between Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

We love you, Los Angeles!
