In 1939 the 3 Stooges performed at the Palladium in London, England. An amusing headline in the paper read: "Stooges arrive in London -- Queen leaves for America." They then went on to Dublin, Ireland where this photo (left) of a suave and debonair Moe and Curly was taken. The photo on the right, with Curly, Moe, Larry, and Shemp, was taken in 1947 when Curly made a brief gag appearance after his stroke in Hold That Lion (1947).
Here are a couple of interesting photos of Curly. On the right we see Curly "Babe" Howard at about age 15, with his schools basketball team. Curly was quite a ladies man. Indeed, he was married 4 times. The photo on the left shows a Curly few of us have seen. Perhaps now we see why he was such a ladies man. In this portrait we see Curly was a good looking fella!
