The Three Stooges Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family
The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy act of the mid–20th century (1930–1975) best known for their numerous short subject films, still syndicated to television. Their hallmark was physical farce and slapstick. In films, the Stooges were commonly known by their first names: "Moe, Larry, and Curly" or "Moe, Larry, and Shemp", among other lineups depending on the films; there were six or seven stooges. Moe and Larry were always present until the very last years of the ensemble's forty-plus-year run.The act began as part of a late-twenties vaudeville comedy act, Ted Healy and his Stooges, consisting of Healy, Moe Howard, his brother Shemp Howard, and Larry Fine. The four made one feature film entitled Soup to Nuts before Shemp left to pursue a solo career. He was replaced by his younger brother Jerome (Curly Howard), and the trio eventually left Healy to launch their own act, billed as The Three Stooges.Curly suffered a debilitating stroke in May 1946, and Shemp returned, reinstating the original lineup until Shemp's death in November, 1955. Film actor Joe Palma was used as a temporary stand-in; the maneuver thereafter became known as the term of art Fake Shemp—to complete four Shemp-era shorts under contract. The coining of the term took place before a new contract from Columbia but after comic Joe Besser joined as the third Stooge in a run '56–57—but he left in 1958 to nurse his ailing spouse. Columbia terminated its shorts division and released its Stooges contractual rights to the Screen Gems production studio. When Screen Gems syndicated the shorts to television, the Stooges became stars. They also made a cameo appearance in the 1963 comedy classic It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.Comic actor Joe DeRita became ("Curly Joe") in 1958, replacing Besser. With the television exposure, the act regained momentum throughout the 1960s as popular kiddie fare until Larry Fine's paralyzing stroke in January 1970. Fine died in 1975 after a further series of strokes. Moe tried one final time to revive the Stooges with longtime supporting actor Emil Sitka in Larry's role, the proposed lineup sometimes referred to as The Three Stooges, Mark V, but this attempt was cut short with Moe's death in May 1975.

| 1 | Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard are caricatured as Cupid's Stooges, fighting in a box of Valentine's candy, in the cartoon The Bon Bon Parade (1935). |
| 2 | They were awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1560 Vine St. on August 30, 1983. Former stooge Joe Besser and Emil Sitka attended the ceremony. Over 6,000 people showed up, the largest crowd to have ever shown up for that ceremony. |
| 3 | Although the group stopped making shorts in 1957, they had filmed enough footage that Columbia Pictures was able to release shorts for another 18 months. |
| 4 | In the 23 years they worked for Columbia Pictures, they never asked for--nor were they ever given--an increase in salary. However, Moe Howard made sure that their contracts stipulated that they would keep all the money they made from personal appearances, and they wound up making far more money from them than they ever did for the 190+ shorts they made. |
| 5 | While working for Columbia Pictures, they were never completely aware of how popular or how financially successful they were. Only after the group stopped making shorts did Moe Howard discover how much more money the act could have earned. |
| 6 | Received no royalty payments or residuals when their movies were played on television; their contract with Columbia Pictures made no provision for such payments. |
