Celebrity Graveland

October 21, 1892¹ – April 21, 1977

Milton “Gummo” Marx was the 2nd youngest of the Marx Brothers comedy team.  He was a part of the family’s early vaudeville days but was drafted into the Army near the end of World War I and never joined them in their film careers.  After his military service, he returned to show business as an agent. He represented his brother, Groucho, and a number of other writers and actors.

Burial

Forest Lawn Memorial Park – Glendale, CA

Specific Location

Freedom Mausoleum, Sanctuary of Brotherhood, Crypt #21057; Lower level of the mausoleum, turn right into the main, north/south hallway and the Sanctuary of Brotherhood will be the first hall on your left (across the main hallway from where Chico is buried), Gummo’s crypt is on the left, three tiers in from the main hallway and three rows up.

¹ – His actual birth date is disputed. It also could be October 23rd. Or it could be in 1893, as his grave marker states. The date I have listed is from his draft record.
