when did curly die of the three stooges
Curly Howard Jerome Lester Horwitz (October 22, 1903 â€“ January 18, 1952), known professionally as Curly Howard, was an American vaudevillian actor and comedian. He was best known as a member of the American farce comedy team the Three Stooges, which also featured his elder brothers Moe and Shemp Howard and actor Larry Fine. Curly Howard was generally considered the most popular and recognizable of the Stooges. He was well known for his high-pitched voice and vocal expressions ("nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!", "woob-woob-woob!", "soitenly!" [certainly], and barking like a dog) as well as his physical comedy (e.g., falling on the ground and pivoting on his shoulder as he "walked" in circular motion), improvisations, and athleticism.[1] An untrained actor, Curly borrowed (and significantly exaggerated) the "woob woob" from "nervous" and soft-spoken comedian Hugh Herbert.[2] Curly's unique version of "woob-woob-woob" was firmly established by the time of the Stooges' second Columbia film, Punch Drunks (1934).[1]
Three's a Crowd Three's a Crowd continued from Three's Company where in its final episodes, Vicky Bradford (Mary Cadorette) is introduced as a love interest of Jack Tripper (John Ritter), beginning in "Cupid Works Overtime". In the following two-part episode, "Friends and Lovers", Jack asks Vicky to marry him but she refuses and explains that although she loves Jack, she does not want to be married because she remembers when her father and mother got divorced and she explains that marriage scares her. Jack and Vicky, however, eventually move to a new apartment together above his restaurant, the landlord of which is James Bradford (Robert Mandan), Vicky's wealthy father, who bought the building from Jack's former boss, Frank Angelino (Jordan Charney). James does not approve of Jack and he constantly tries to disrupt their relationship.
