Life and work

Melinda Marx[2] appeared frequently on television with her father. She was a contestant on his quiz show You Bet Your Life at least three times: She first appeared at age 8 (a surprise contestant who did not play the game) with boxer Mickey Walker.[3] On this same episode Melinda and Groucho sang "There Is Beauty in the Bellow of the Blast" from "The Mikado" by Gilbert and Sullivan.[4] On a later episode she and Groucho teamed up with Edgar Bergen and his then 11-year-old daughter Candice Bergen to win $1,000 for the Girl Scouts of the USA.;[5] She appeared a third time in 1961 episode with singer/actor Bobby Van as a contestant and did a number with him on stage. They won $2000. Six years later, father and daughter shared a "Father's Day" installment of The Dating Game.[6]

She acted alongside her father in a television production of The Mikado (1960) on The Bell Telephone Hour[7] and the film The Story of Mankind (1957) in which her father and uncles Chico and Harpo also appeared.

After a few more roles in films, including an uncredited appearance in the movie Bye, Bye Birdie (1963),[8] and The Violent Ones, Melinda retired from acting in 1972. A musician, mostly playing the mandolin, she was in a Gloriana Opera Company (Mendocino County, CA) production of Bye, Bye Birdie, in 1996, alternately playing bass and guitar. She is one of their regular ensemble.

In addition to acting, Melinda had a brief career as a recording artist in 1965, appearing on shows such as Shivaree,[9] Shindig![10] and The Hollywood Palace,[11] to promote her singles "The East Side of Town"[12] and "What".[13][14][15]

She is divorced from Sahn Berti[16] with whom she has two children, including actress Jade Marx-Berti.[17] She married Jack Leung in 1985,[18] and was also briefly married to Mack J. Gilbert,[19] and also uses the name Melinda Marx Leung professionally.[20]
