Curly’s Walk

One of the most memorable things about Curly Howard was his walk. Unfortunately, that wasn’t something he taught himself in acting school. When he was 12 years old, he was cleaning a rifle and accidentally shot himself in the left ankle.

He was rushed to the hospital, which saved his life. However, he was terrified of surgery and refused to let the doctors help him further. The wound caused him to limp, so his on-screen walk was designed to hide the injury.
