1. I always liked tony Curtis and especially with Jack Lemmon

I was watching at episode of Groucho Marx many years ago. I think he must have been set up, he was interviewing an audience member, an older woman and asked her who her favorite actor was. The woman replied Tony Curtis and Groucho kind of made fun of her and asked her why. It was because Tony was her son.
