Curly and Friends


Curly Howard, aka Jerome Lester Horowitz, was my favorite of the three stooges, and (believe it or not) one of my nascent gay boy crushes.  He loved dogs and appears with two of his favorites here.

  1. I share the same crush on Curly when I was a kid. I absolutely hate it when "Shemp" turned up as the 3rd Stooge!!

  2. When the Stooges were doing the vaudeville circuit, Curly was known for rounding up stray dogs in every city they visited and finding homes for them. Another reason to admire him.

  3. By all accounts one of the sweetest guys in the biz. Both Moe and Shemp were devastated by his passing. Moe said family always came first the act came second.

    1. I have a few family snapshots of them together off stage, and the bonds of affection are quite obvious.
