RAISED EYEBROWS is the bittersweet story of the last years in the
life of Groucho Marx, told by a young Marx Brothers fan who was
fortunate enough to work for Groucho as his personal secretary and
archivist, right inside Marx's Beverly Hills home. In addition to
getting to know his hero, the author was able to spend quality time
with Zeppo, Gummo, Mae West, George Burns, Bob Hope, Jack Lemmon, SJ
Perelman, Steve Allen, and scores of other luminaries of stage,
screen, TV and literature. The downside of this dream-come-true was
getting close to his idol as the curtain was coming down, and dealing
with Erin Fleming - the mercurial woman in charge of Groucho's
personal and professional life. "Raised Eyebrows" is filled with
never-before-heard anecdotes, with an introduction written by Dick
Cavett.

"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
