The Three Stooges were an American institution like none other. They were an ever-changing line-up trio of vaudeville and comedic entertainers that were extremely popular during the 1920s to the 1970s. The Stooges' signature styles were slapstick and physical comedy.
Six stooges in total appeared during the comedy team's run, while only three were ever active at any given moment. Moe Howard whose true name was Moses Horwitz and Louis Feinberg's Larry Fine were mainstays throughout the act's five-decade spanning run.
The third stooge was originally Shemp Howard AKA Samuel Horwitz, but Curly Howard eventually took over this post for some years before Shemp Howard stepped back in following Howard's debilitating stroke in 1946. Later, after Shemp's death in 1955, the third stooge's position would be occupied by Joe Besser and 'Curly Joe' DeRita.
Curly Howard was generally considered to be the most popular and recognizable stooge. His high-pitched voice and signature expressions such as 'nyuk nyuk nyuk', 'woob woob woob', and 'soitenly' in addition to his gift for physical farce, improv, and athleticism made him a fan favorite.
Sadly, after Curly's massive stroke in May of 1946, Howard was forced out of show business. He continued to suffer from serious health concerns and had several additional strokes before dying at the age of 48 on January 18, 1952.

Curly did indeed love dogs but there was never a clause in his contract that he could bring them on set. Imagine a scene being filmed only to have a dog start barking. Same with babies - you won't find them on sets either. There is a RU-vid video circulating that claims Curly found homes for about 5,000 dogs, which is also not true. Those close to Curly estimated he found homes for a dozen or two, which is still a lot but 5,000 is a ridiculous number. :)

Curly was definitely the centre of all the Three Stooges mayhem and craziness. He was one of the funniest comedians who has ever lived. To this very day, he is still as hilarious and great as ever. It's too bad that he suffered serious health problems, which no doubt can be related in part to all the head shots that he took. Back then they had a different attitude about concussions and brain damage.

You know if (and when) you really look at Curly - you can absolutely discern that he was a very very bright intelligent man. You can see it in his expression and his reaction to the other two stooges. My guess is that several things were going on with him. Hypertension and as importantly undiagnosable aneurism(s). I really wonder if he was undiagnosed diabetic or if diagnosed but kept quiet, untreated.

@igoski1582 2 года назад

Mow Larry and Shemp were the first Three Stooges when they started on stage only. When they were contracted for the short films, Shemp did not want to do them because he wanted and did straight acting roles in movies instead. So Curly replaced Shemp in the line up. Then when Curly could not continue, Shemp re entered his original role and replaced Curly. Also, Mow, Shemp and Curly are all brothers. Larry was their friend.

@radicalross7700 2 года назад

It's true that Curly replaced Shemp when the trio worked for Ted Healy, But it's only after permanently breaking away from Healy and signing with Columbia that Moe, Larry, and Curly became officially known as the Three Stooges. They were never called the Three Stooges when with Healy and that's why Curly IS the original third Stooge of the Three Stooges.

Curly was an extremely versatile actor, he was playful and silly for the kid in all of us, and also witty and at times a raunchy girl chaser, to make the adults laugh. In every scene he seems to be going all out, to give the audience a laugh, doing whatever it takes to make each of us feel good inside. His older brother Shemp was his real life mentor, who he idolized which is why they had that similar childish impish style. Many comics have tried to copy him, most notably Lou Costello, but none have come close. Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk

His excesses of the late 30's - early 40's didn't help (tho it's who he was 🥳🙃), but he was under a lot of stress also with a contentious, short-lived "gold-digger" marriage, and divorce, in 1946. He went downhill rapidly after that. However, his legacy is immortal!

@Doobie1975 2 года назад

Curly was my favorite since the stooge shorts were produced on a higher budget, I didn't really get into Shemp until my mid teens, while I love both stooges I still like Curly the best.

@Sunflower8587 Год назад

Love Curly! ❤ It's so tragic how his life ended so early. 💔 That's why it's heartwarming to see his grandson, Brad "Curly G" Server, carrying on his legacy, in his own way on his RU-vid channel along with some friends. Recently Kurt Lamond, Larry Fine's great grandson, has joined them on their weekly livecasts. Just them goofing around unscripted is hilarious. The chemistry is definitely there. 😂

Curly was my favorite stooge. He shouldn't have been forced to work when he wasn't his natural comic self .after the first stroke. I'm sure doing those stunts without protection to his head were the circumstances that started the strikes. Too many untreated head concussions.

@FactsVerse 2 года назад

We agree. Curly should have given time to recover. Is Curly your favorite Stooge?

@evilproducer01 2 года назад

Curly was the best Stooge, and should have been allowed to recuperate. That said, the hypertension was probably the main contributing factor to his strokes, and the subsequent damage of his first stroke, plus hypertension probably led to his following severe strokes. Each getting progressively worse and causing more damage.

@mulehead126 2 года назад

It was Curly and the Stooges who kept working despite doctors' advice to let Curly rest. Their duties at Columbia didn't take up much time at all, it was grueling personal appearance tours where they performed night after night that caused Curly's health to get even worse than it was. It is myth that Harry Cohn "forced" Curly to work.

@sinbadsailor1963 2 года назад

Not to speak ill of the dead but Curly was well documented as being a hard party animal who constantly drank way more alcohol that was logically sustainable. Moe wrote that Curly was like an uncontrollable kid at nightclubs. Curly was a true superstar. He lived hard and fast and went out with a bang!

@jadedequeljoe3283 2 года назад

Imagine Curly with all of the drugs now available. I know, they had weed and coke and opiates back then,but it was not the cultural phenomenon that it is now days. Actually Curly might have consumed less alcohol ( a truly debilitating drug) had he known about weed or other drugs that are today easy to obtain.

Curly was one of a kind. I believe most Three Stooges fans would consider him their favorite Stooge. It may not be well known, but Curly did some solo shorts without Moe and Larry. Interesting note, according to Wikipedia, this year (2022) marks the 100th anniversary of the Three Stooges. Granted they worked with Ted Healy from 1922-1934 on Vaudeville and on film before leaving him and going on as a trio. Moe, Larry and Curly split with Healy for the same reasons Shemp left the act in 1932 (Healy's alcoholism and temper) to be replace by Curly.

The big 4 gave their everything for the show, if they knew the $$ they made for Columbia they could have told them to suck it.
