5. Curly actually had a very nice head of hair

There is actually one Stooges ep with all four classic Stooges -- Moe, Larry, Shemp and Curly -- in frame.

The 1947 ep is titled, "Hold That Lion" and Curly only has a cameo appearance having had a stroke.

The first group, Shemp, Larry and Moe, got their start in film thanks in part to fellow vaudeville star Ted Healy who called the act his "Stooges."

Technically they were known as Ted Healy and his Racketeers, though they were also known as his Stooges.

AFAIC, Ted Healy was the most unfunny comedian of the early days of sound film; he must have made someone laugh to have had the career he did, but I wouldn't have been one of them.

When I was a kid I read the autobiography of Moe Howard. Interesting peek into another time and place, growing up in city at the turn of the century and then the vaudeville life.

One nugget: the eye poke was actually done by Moe poking the others right above the eyeballs on the eye socket bone. So he really did poke them and occasionally he missed and hit the eyes. These guys got the hell beaten out of them on those old films.

Moe saved his money and died a millionaire, while Larry was a gambler.

Then again, there is always hope for the Farrelly Brothers‘ latest entry.

 

Actually the Farrelly Brothers remake was hopeless. It didn't totally suck. But it was disappointing.

I saw an old black and white movie (not stooges) that had Shemp as a serious actor. Strange sight.

It’s team, not group. Sheesh, if you can’t even get the terminology correct! I tear out my Larry Fine-like hair when I read this stuff!

Classic lines:

“Niagara Falls . . .”

“Moe, Larry, Cheese”

“Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk”

“Lady, you must be psychic”

“wooh, woooh, wooh, wooh, wooh . . . .”

The Stoogeum is a must-visit!

It was previously only open one Sunday a month, now open every Thursday. Glad we got to visit.

Containing close to 100,000 pieces of Stoogeabilia, the Stoogeum (rhymes with museum) offers fans a chance to view a vast array of artifacts which celebrate the legacy of this legendary comedy team. The 10,000 square-foot, 3-story building houses anything and everything Stooge. Artifacts from 1918 to the present are on exhibit, including several interactive displays. The Stoogeum also contains a research library, a 16MM film storage vault and an 85-seat theater used for film screenings, lectures and special presentations.

The Stoogeum is also the headquarters of the Three Stooges Fan Club, one of the nation’s oldest and largest fan clubs with 2,000 members world-wide. An annual meeting of the fan club brings together Stooges relatives, supporting actors, impersonators and fans with the Stoogeum at the hub of the event.

The Stoogeum is located at 904 Sheble Lane, Ambler, PA 19002

I read that Wallace Beery was one of the guys who killed Healey.
