That photo of Harpo (Arthur Adolph Marx) uploaded by Hamlet53 brings to mind an excellent autobiography written by his brother Groucho. Groucho and Me by Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx tells the story of The Marx Brothers and Groucho's rise to fame from their humble beginnings. It also tells of their not always so honorable methods of getting ahead and some of their not-so-honorable sexual escapades.

.....By this time you are probably aware of the fact that the brothers were congenital liars. You mustn't be too hard on us because we had discovered early in life that steady and consistent lying was the only road to survival.
..........— Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx, Groucho and Me (1959).

I'll let Julius defend himself on that count:

.....There is nothing ghostly or ghosted about Groucho and Me. The "Me" is a comparatively unknown Marx named Julius Henry Marx. Groucho and Julius are one, but not the same.
..........— Ibid.

He was a largely self-educated man who loved books, and was somewhat proud of his ability to write despite his lack of a more formal education.
