The Chess Mind

From 1950 to 1961 American comedian Groucho Marx hosted a quiz show called "You Bet Your Life" on television. It's pretty slow-paced by today's standards, but at the time it was a big hit. Occasionally the guests had some claim to fame, directly or indirectly, and so it was on this show. American GM Isaac Kashdan participates in the first grouping, along with a woman who is the mother of a famous celebrity (and now in retrospect, the grandmother of still another) - can you guess who it is?
