Margaret Dumont (October 20, 1882 – March 6, 1965).
Margaret Dumont was an American stage and film actress. She is best remembered as the comic foil to the Marx Brothers in seven of their films. Groucho Marx called her "practically the fifth Marx brother".
Watch Margaret as she guest-stars on The Donna Reed Show in"Miss Lovelace Comes to Tea" (Season 1, Episode 34).
Margaret Dumont’s elegance and the balance she brought to comedy are truly unforgettable. Her chemistry with Groucho Marx still makes viewers smile. It’s hard to find such natural acting in old comedies. I’m the kind of person who enjoys watching these kinds of films over and over, and another thing that gives me joy is playing the basketball legends game, I love it, and it never fails to excite me every single time.
