and Alice. He and his collaborator, Robert Fisher, were head writers for Alice and wrote 40 episodes of that show. They also wrote for the short-lived situation comedy The Good Guys, and they wrote nine episodes of The Paul Lynde Show and four episodes of the short-lived Life with Lucy. Marx was also co-creator of the TV series Mickey starring Mickey Rooney. Marx wrote both fiction (often humorous) and non-fiction (often show-business related) pieces for magazines throughout his career. Along with Fisher, he co-authored the play The Impossible Years, which ran for three seasons on Broadway and starred Alan King, and Minnie's Boys, a musical about the Marx Brothers' vaudeville years that starred Shelley Winters. They also wrote My Daughter's Rated X, which won the Straw Hat award for best new comedy on the summer stock circuit, and Groucho: A Life in Revue, which was nominated for a New York Outer Critics Circle award for best play and London's Laurence Olivier Award for Comedy Production of the Year. Other plays included The Chic Life and Hello, My Name Is... Marx was planning a revival of Minnie's Boys to be co-authored by Michael R. Crider shortly before Marx's death in 2011. Marx also wrote over a dozen books, including The Ordeal of Willie Brown (1951) a humorous fictionalization of his tennis years, and Not as a Crocodile (1958) a collection of family oriented humor essays. His books also included Goldwyn: A Biography of the Man Behind the Myth (1976), Red Skelton: An Unauthorized Biography (1979), The Nine Lives of Mickey Rooney (1986), The Secret Life of Bob Hope: An Unauthorized Biography (1993) and the tennis-themed murder mystery Set to Kill (both 1993). His next novel, Tulip (2004) was a thriller-mystery and it was followed in 2008 by Lust for Death, a roman à clef about a Bob Hope-like character named Jack Faith. His 1974 book on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis entitled Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime (Especially Himself) was adapted into the 2002 made-for-television movie Martin and Lewis. Marx also wrote several books featuring different takes on his relationship with his father, including Life with Groucho (1954), Son of Groucho (1973), a reworking and update of the 1954 volume renamed My Life With Groucho: A Son's Eye View (1992), and Arthur Marx’s Groucho: A Photographic Journey (2001). Marx wrote the foreword to Michael R. Crider's 2007 tome, The Guy's Guide to
