Nope, it was Walter Winchell, who could be just as funny as Groucho when the mood struck.

How about this one:

"Hollywood is a trip thru the sewer in a glass-bottomed boat."

Miser or Misner?

Wilson Mizner, correct.

Who said "Acting and prostitution -- the two oldest professions in the world, ruined by amateurs."

Don't know, but it sure sounds like something John Ford would say.

Nobody's guessed it yet. Hint: a play was written about him.

I thought it was a gossip columnist named Wolcott associated,somehow,with the Marx brothers..?

Alexander Woollcott, correct -- critic, radio commentator, and member of the Algonquin Round Table. "The Man Who Came To Dinner" was a thinly-disguised parody of him.

"A man should control his life. Mine is controlling me"

Wooollcott. Hmmm, that's ironic, since from everything I've heard about him, he was basically asexual.

How about: "How like me, to put all my eggs into one ba***rd"

That's an easy one. Parker. My significant other looks like a young Parker

They don't want actresses anymore. They want chambermaids with capped teeth.

A rather cruel remark made in 1947 about the new generation of big bosomed blonde bombshells.

Too bad they got Monty Woolley to play the role in the movie. I have seen films of Woolcott. His appearance, demeanor and flat nasal New England accent would have been much funnier. If Nathan Lane had patterned his performance on Woollcot instead of Woolley he would have done a lot better.

"Come on you SOB's, you want to live forever?"

I've heard this line in movies but learned its origin (as far as we know) when I was 18.
