Career
His beginnings were in vaudeville theaters and the radio. Afterwards he hosted several children-oriented television shows, such as "El Circo de Marrone" (Marrone"s Circus), playing the clown character Pepitito. His recurring catchphrase was Cheee!.
Still married, Marrone fell in love with Juanita Martínez, but they waited to get together until Rosa died.
In 2001, a decade after Marrone"s death, Juanita committed suicide, and her body was found with a picture of Marrone in her hands. "Pepitito" Marrone is one of the most important humorist of the Argentine culture of the 1950s and the 1960s.
