Alexander Knox

He died in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. He was given his nickname because he wore gum-soled shoes. He also wrote two adventure novels, Night of the White Bear and Totem Dream. The agency was later sold and Gummo turned to representing his brother Groucho Marx and television show The Life of Riley, which he helped develop. He had major roles in The Vikings, Europa '51, The Longest Day, You Only Live Twice and Nicholas and Alexandra. Later he joined with his brother Zeppo Marx and operated a theatrical agency. Knox was unable to follow up with any Hollywood success, and he returned to England. After leaving the act, Gummo went into the dressmaking business.

In 1944 he was chosen by Darryl F. Zanuck to star in Wilson, the biographical film about Woodrow Wilson, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. This was before they made any of their famous movies. During the 1930s he moved to London where he appeared in several movies. He worked with his brothers on Vaudeville, but left the act because he did not like performing. Born in Strathroy, Ontario, he moved to Boston, Massachusetts to appear on the stage. Milton Marx (October 23, 1892 - April 21, 1977), known as Gummo, was one of the Marx Brothers. Alexander Knox (January 16, 1907 - April 25, 1995) was a Canadian actor.
