Curly Howard
Curly Howard's real name was Jerome Lester Horwitz. He was born
to Jenny and Solomon Horwitz on October 22, 1903 in Bath Beach, a
summer resort in a section of Brooklyn. He was the fifth and
youngest of the five Horwitz brothers. Curly's interest in show
business grew as he watched his brothers, Shemp and Moe perform as
stooges in Ted Healy's act. After Shemp left the Healy act, Moe
suggested to Healy that his kid brother Jerome was available and
would make an excellent replacement for Shemp.
Curly at the time was known as "Babe." When Babe showed up to talk
to Healy to join the act he had long wavy brown hair and a
mustache. In order to join the act Babe agreed to shave off his
mustache and shave his head. Now referred to as Curly, he joined
the team and played with the Stooges in vaudeville acts and comedy
shorts for MGM. Later, in 1934, Curly along with Larry and Moe
performed in many of the shorts that were produced for Columbia
Pictures.
After Curly's first marriage was annulled, he married three more
times. On June 7, 1937 he married Elaine Ackerman. In 1938, Elaine
gave birth to Curly's first child, a daughter, Marilyn. Elaine and
Curly divorced on July 11, 1940 after only 3 years of marriage. On
October 17, 1945, Curly married Marion Buxbaum. After a miserable
three months of arguments and accusations, Marion and Curly
separated on January 14, 1946, and Curly sued for divorce. This
divorce was quite scandalous and notices were carried in all the
local papers.
It was after his separation from Marion that Curly's health
started its rapid decline. On May 6, 1946, he suffered a stroke
during the filming of his 97th Three Stooges comedy, "Half-Wits'
Holiday" (1947). A year later Curly met Valerie Newman, whom he
married on July 31, 1947. Valerie was Curly's fourth wife, and she
nursed him through those last, awful years. Valerie gave birth to a
daughter, Janie.
Finally, in 1949, Curly's health took a severe turn for the worse
when he suffered his second in a series of strokes and was rushed
to Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Hollywood. Curly died on January
18, 1952. He was 48 years old.
