**kaylasdad99** is more technically accurate but I’d have accepted either. Harpo and Groucho were also characters.

In the [film](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080009/) _Tess_ Nastassia Kinski ate a strawberry from her…keeper’s(1)…fingers, and as much as I like Kayle, Kinski made her look like harpo Marx eating peanuts.

1Tess was the Mistress, Alec d’Urberville was her… what?
