AN INTIMATE INSIDER'S LOOK AT GROUCHO MARX

Nov 15, 2011, 9:24 a.m.

"RAISED EYEBROWS: My Years Inside Groucho's House," is the remarkable story of a young Marx Brothers fan by the name of Steve Stoliar who only wanted to shake Groucho's hand and wound up working inside the home of "the one, the only" as his secretary and archivist for the last three years of the legendary comedian's life.

Rubbing shoulders, not only with Groucho, but with his brothers, Zeppo and Gummo, Stoliar also mingled with such legends as George Burns, Bob Hope, Mae West, SJ Perelman, and scores of others.

"RAISED EYEBROWS" is the ultimate story of a fan's dream come true, and now, 15 years since the book was originally published in hardcover, Stoliar has written a new afterword chapter for this new edition that details events and experiences that have taken place over the past decade.

This is a true page-tuner that would make a great holiday gift for the Groucho fan in your life. Just look at what has been said about this compelling read:

"A real page-turner that is by turns startling, shocking and as engrossing as a good novel. What a splendid book it is." -- Dick Cavett

"It's one of the best books about a show-business icon I've ever read...It makes Groucho live so much more than the conventional bios." -- Woody Allen

"Raised Eyebrows is an intimate account of one of our national treasures - Groucho Marx. It's written by a young man who was fortunate enough to live with and work for Groucho, and if he doesn't know what he's talking about, who would? It has a unique insider's point of view and is a fascinating study of a man who was one of the kings of comedy." -- Jack Lemmon

"In this delightful report, Mr. Stoliar brings the real Groucho alive with wit, tears and all." -- Steve Allen
