  • Did you know that an underage fan once physically attacked the Three Stooges and that two members of the troupe suffered childhood injuries? Diehard fans of the Three Stooges may have noticed while watching some of the troupe’s classic shorts that the character of Curly always walked with a limp. This iconic limp wasn’t a creative choice made by the actor who played him. Curly was played by Jerome Howard, who suffered a firearm accident when he was younger that affected his walk. This accident resulted in the character of Curly having his iconic limp.

    Oddly, Jerome Howard wasn’t the only member of the Three Stooges that suffered a serious injury as a child. Founding member Larry Fine suffered from a severe chemical burn during his childhood years, which necessitated several skin grafts. During physical therapy, young Larry took up the violin. These violin skills later came in handy during the filming of the Three Stooges’ most classic shorts!
    Though Jerome Howard wasn’t a founding member of the Three Stooges, he shared it’s blood! Jerome was the younger brother of founding members Moe and Shemp Howard. When Shemp left the troupe early on, Moe brought Jerome in to replace him. Many consider Jerome’s character of Curly to be the most iconic of the Three Stooges, and his unique limp was a big part of the character’s appeal! Join Facts Verse as we take a look at how Curly didn’t fake his limp on the Three Stooges (his real-life injury).

      Curly copied his boss, Ted Healy, in the drinking department. That's why he fell ill, because he didn't like having to shave his head for the act, because he made himself think his shaved dome was turning off the women, even though he was popular with them all his life.

    All of the three stooges had talents rarely shown on screen. Curley, despite his limp was an accomplished ball room dancer. Larry could play just about any instrument he picked up and was going to go to Germany to study music in 1914 when WWI halted his plans. Moe they say had a photographic memory and could memorize whole scripts including all of the parts. These three were incredibly talented people whose talents were never fully recognized by Harry Cohan the head of Columbia pictures.

    Love all 6, but Curly is my favorite. Also, I'd seen on another video that Larry incorporated his real-life proficiency on the violin into the series. It was noted that when the boys were playing instruments, Larry truly played, while the others only mimed. However, Larry was also shown to play piano in some episodes. So I'm wondering if Larry really played piano, also, or just mimed.

    Curly was my favorite Stooge, followed by Shemp, but Curly died in 1952, not '51. He also hated shaving his head for the act because he felt women would find him unattractive even though he was popular with them all his life. He also took to wearing a hat in public, saying he felt like a little kid with his head shaved.

      Yes. He played a dude who was snoring. They removed his hat, put a clothespin on his nose, and replaced his hat. Though all Curly did was snore, it is often referred to as the only time that all 3 Howard brothers appeared onscreen together, albeit with Curly in a non-speaking, uncredited cameo. At least, all 3 acting Howards. Shemp was 3rd-eldest, as there were 2 older siblings who didn't enter showbiz, though I can't recall if they were 2 girls, 2 boys, or a girl and a boy.

    Curly resting in the director's chair between takes on Halfwits' Holiday is no legend. Moe Howard wrote about it in his autobiography, "I Stooged to Conquer" which was published after Moe's death in 1975. Moe wrote that was what happened and about how he found Curly in that chair after the stroke.

      Steve Gallo-Moe's book was later retitled Moe Howard And The Three Stooges. Moe stated that when he went to look for Curly, he found him slumped in Jules White's director's chair with his head dropped to his chest, and mouth distorted; he was unable to speak, only cry from the immense pain from his stroke.
