Marsha Hunt, the bright-eyed starlet who stood out in such films as These Glamour Girls, Pride and Prejudice and Raw Deal before her career came unraveled by the communist witch hunt that hit Hollywood, has died. She was 104.

Hunt also appeared opposite Mickey Rooney in the best picture Oscar nominee The Human Comedy (1943) during a period in which she was known as “Hollywood’s Youngest Character Actress.”

Groucho Marx in 'Duck Soup.' Groucho Marx movies: 'Duck Soup,' 'The Story of Mankind' and romancing Margaret Dumont on TCM Grouch Marx, the bespectacled, (painted) mustached, cigar-chomping Marx brother, is Turner Classic Movies' “Summer Under the Stars” star today, Aug. 14, '15. Marx Brothers fans will be delighted, as TCM is presenting no less than 11 of their comedies, in addition to a brotherly reunion in the 1957 all-star fantasy The Story of Mankind. Non-Marx Brothers fans should be delighted as well – as long as they're fans of Kay Francis, Thelma Todd, Ann Miller, Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, Allan Jones, affectionate, long-tongued giraffes, and/or that great, scene-stealing dowager, Margaret Dumont.

Freddie Prinze Jr.
Mmmmm, Freddie Prinze Jr. I could think about tugging on Fred from Scooby Doo's ascot with my mouth for hours on end. In a nightmare situation, this act would pull off Fred's "mask," and he'd be revealed as an angry carnival owner. He wouldn't gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for my meddling hormones. Rawr. Let's talk about March 8, kids!
1911: The first International Women's Day is held! Sounds like a great Maxim photo shoot!
1959: Groucho, Harpo, and Chico Marx film their last TV appearance together. Meanwhile, Zeppo Marx huffs in the audience and pouts that he's more commercial than Chico, and Gummo Marx sits at home and gets his tongue stuck in the toaster or something.
1976 and 1977: Freddie Prinze Jr. and James Van Der Beek are born, respectively. If you could only attend one of their birthday parties, whose would you pick?...
