Groucho Marx
Back in the 1970’s, the Osmonds took their talents to television. On the famous duo’s show, The Donny and Marie Show, famous guests would make appearances. Sadly, Marie Osmond remembers a traumatizing experience when the iconic Groucho Marx came on the show. Apparently, this older comedian would pinch Marie. Of course, this stayed with her and she later called him, “dirty old man.”
