Groucho Marx and Eve Arden
Eunice Mary Quedens was born on this date in Mill Valley, California in 1908. Eunice Mary would go on to become one of our best-loved stars, Eve Arden. As I said earlier on Twitter, she’s one of those rare stars who is loved by everyone – you can’t imagine coming across anyone who DOESN’T like Eve Arden.
But I can take it one step further… I’m not sure I’d even want to cross paths with someone so out of their mind that they don’t love her!
The photos shown here need very (very, very) little identification. It is, of course, Groucho Marx and our birthday beauty, Eve Arden. These are from the hilarious 1939 comedy At the Circus.
The movie also stars Chico, Harpo, Kenny Baker, and Florence Rice.
At the Circus is on Prime Video (I always get a huge kick out of seeing our beloved classics on Prime Video!) and can also be found on dvd in a Room Service and At the Circus Double Pack (link to the dvd on Amazon). Room Service stars another beautiful, universally loved actress… Lucille Ball.
