American comedian and actor
Born: October 22, 1903
Died: January 18, 1952
Curly Howard, born Jerome Lester Horwitz on October 22, 1903, was a beloved American comedian and actor, best known as one of the iconic Three Stooges. He was the youngest of the Horwitz brothers, joining older siblings Moe and Shemp in the world of comedy. Curly’s distinctive appearance, characterized by his bald head and wild, frizzy hair, became an enduring symbol of slapstick humor.
Curly’s career took off when he replaced his brother Shemp in the Three Stooges comedy team in 1932. He quickly became renowned for his zany antics, high-pitched voice, and physical comedy, which often involved slapstick, eye-poking, and pratfalls. His catchphrases, including “nyuk-nyuk-nyuk” and “soitenly,” endeared him to fans worldwide.
Unfortunately, Curly’s health began to deteriorate in the late 1940s due to a series of strokes, leading to his departure from the act in 1947. Despite his health struggles, he continued to make occasional appearances in Stooges films and shorts. He passed away on January 18, 1952, at the age of 48.
Curly Howard’s legacy lives on as an enduring figure in comedy history, with his timeless performances continuing to entertain audiences and influence comedians to this day.
