A decent example of what some would consider the "American Dream" is the story of one of the greatest comedians who ever lived and that is Groucho Marx. He was the son of German-French parents, was born and raised in New York, eventually he and his brothers hit it big in Vaudeville and finally got into early film. The thing I have to admire the most about Groucho and his brothers is the fact they where not only the sons of immigrant parents, not only did they survive the hard and hectic world of Vaudeville, but the fact that he was able to find the one thing he was really, really good at and that was entertainment. There are a lot of people who dream, few will ever realize that dream.
Also even though he's passed away, Happy 122nd Birthday Groucho!
