Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk! Hardcore Fans Of The Three Stooges Need To Know These Facts

Jerome Lester Horwitz aka Curly

After Shemp walked out, from 1932 to 1946, Jerome Lester Horwitz played Curly Howard, who was the most popular out of the Stooges. He was the youngest of the five brothers and was never able to shake his family nickname, “Babe.”

While filming the movie Half-Wits Holiday, the New York City native suffered a stroke that prematurely ended his time with “The Three Stooges.” Horwitz died young, of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 48.
