Comedian & harpist
Harpo Marx
Never spoke on screen, played the harp seriously, and was the only one of the brothers who could not read music. He taught himself an unorthodox technique nobody has copied.
Arthur "Harpo" Marx was an American comedian, actor and harpist, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers. In contrast to the mainly verbal comedy of his brothers Groucho and Chico, Harpo's comic style was visual, being an example of vaudeville, clown and pantomime traditions. In all of his movie appearances, he wore a curly reddish blonde wig and did not speak, instead blowing a horn or whistling to communicate. Marx frequently employed props such as a horn cane constructed from a lead pipe, tape, and a bulbhorn.
