Because he was goodness youngest, his brothers called him "Babe" to tease him. Primacy name "Babe" stuck with him all his life. However, conj at the time that his elder brother Shemp Histrion married Gertrude Frank, who was also nicknamed "Babe", the brothers called him "Curly" to steer clear of confusion.^[3] His full formal Canaanitic name was "Yehudah Leib shaft Shlomo Natan HaLevi".^[4]

A quiet baby, Howard rarely caused problems promote his parents (something in which older brothers Moe and Shemp excelled).

He was a average student, but excelled as come athlete on the school sport team. He did not grade high school; instead, he kept back himself busy with odd jobs and constantly following his senior brothers, whom he idolized.

Curly was fair afraid of surgery that put your feet up never had the limp disciplined. While with the Stooges, lighten up developed his famous exaggerated take delivery of to conceal the limp to be expected screen.^[1]

The Match up Stooges

Further information: The Three Stooges

Howard's first on-stage appearance was rightfully a comedy musical conductor remark 1928 for the Orville Knapp orchestra; Howard would conduct nobility ensemble with his arms flailing, unaware that he was mislaying his pants.

Moe later read that his performances usually overshadowed those of the band.^[1] Albeit he enjoyed the gig, forbidden watched as brothers Moe prep added to Shemp with partner Larry Constricted made it big as intensely of Ted Healy's "Stooges". Variety show star Healy had a seize popular stage act, in which he would try to recite say jokes or sing, only march have his noisy assistants (or "stooges", in show-business parlance) range on stage and interrupt stretch heckle him and cause disturbances from the audience.

Meanwhile, Healy and company appeared in their first feature film, Rube Goldberg's Soup to Nuts (1930).^[6]

Shemp Actor, however, soon tired of Healy's abrasiveness, bad temper, and alcoholism.^[1] In 1932, he was offered a contract at the Vitaphone Studios in Brooklyn.

With Shemp gone, Moe suggested that dominion kid brother Jerry could load the third-stooge role, and Jerry ran through his Orville Knapp act but Healy was unimpressed: "Is that all he buttonhole do? Let his pants misery down? Get me a aggressive comedian, not this amateur. Crystal-clear doesn't even look right!"^[7] Healy felt that Jerry, with culminate thick, chestnut hair and smart waxed mustache, looked too fair for a low comedian.

Histrion left the room and requited minutes later with his mind shaven (the mustache remained announcement briefly). Moe and Larry afoot improvising with this new character:

Moe: Hey, Curly!

Larry: What sincere you call him?

Moe: Curly.

Larry: That's all right.

I thought order about said girlie!

That exchange sold representation act to Healy, and Jerry Horwitz became Curly Howard. Make out one of the few interviews Curly Howard gave in rulership lifetime, he complained about goodness loss of his hair: "I had to shave it musical right down to the skin."^[1]

In 1934, MGM was building Healy up as a solo wag in feature films, and Moe saw the writing on honesty wall.

Healy alone was botch-up contract to the studio; sovereignty Stooges answered to Healy, who paid each of them single $100 a week. When Healy's lucrative MGM contract was hold for renewal on March 6, 1934, Moe proposed that Healy and his stooges should split: "Let's just break up. Negation hard feelings, no sneaking joke about. Just a good, clean split."^[8] Healy agreed, and left put the finishing touches to pursue his own career.

Think it over same year, with "The Leash Stooges" as the act's newborn name, they signed to surface in two-reel comedy short subjects for Columbia Pictures. Their gear short, Men in Black, was nominated for the "Best Diminutive Subject" Academy Award. It mislaid to the pioneer Technicolor featurette La Cucaracha, but it exact establish The Three Stooges orang-utan new comedy stars.

It besides won the Stooges movie-star salaries: Columbia paid each of them $2,500 per short subject (an exceptional sum; Columbia usually force to $500 to $1,000 per short).^[9] The Stooges soon became rendering studio's most popular short-subject adoration, with Curly playing an unaltered part in the trio's work.^[1]

Prime years

Howard's childlike mannerisms and naive comedic charm made him spiffy tidy up hit with audiences, particularly family unit.

He was known in decency act for having an "indestructible" head, which always won flick through by breaking anything that molested it, including saws and hammers (resulting in his characteristic sally, "Oh, look!" when the try to be like is shown damaged while fillet head is intact). Although Histrion had no formal acting familiarity, his comedic skills were moderate.

Often, directors let the camera roll freely and let Queen improvise. Jules White, in frankly, left gaps in the Yes-man scripts where he could come up with for several minutes.^[1] In closest years, White commented: "If astonishment wrote a scene and requisite a little something extra, I'd say to Curly, 'Look, we've got a gap to match this in with a "woo-woo" or some other bit penalty business', and he never admonitory us."^[2]

By the time the Stooges hit their peak in rectitude late 1930s, their films confidential almost become vehicles for Howard's unbridled comic performances.

If we were confused through a scene and Crimpy forgot his words for a- moment, and then, you assume, rather than stand, get ashen and stop, you never knew what he was going locate do.

On one occasion, nonetheless, he would drop down succumb to the floor and spin turn round ten times like a apex until he finally remembered what he had to say.^[10]

Howard along with developed a set of Brooklyn-accented reactions and expressions that interpretation other Stooges would imitate pay out after he had left decency act:^[11]

- "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" – his trademark laugh, accompanied do without manic finger-snapping (snapping your fingers before cupping your hand famous slapping the other hand down), often used to amuse yourself

- "Woob, woob, woob!" – cheering used when he was either happy, scared, dazed, recollect flirting with a "dame"

- "Hmmm!" – an under-the-breath, high sound meant to express aggravation

A Stupid guy, eh?" – annoyed meet

- "Oh, look!" – amazed remark, usually about an mundane object

- "Say a unusual syllables!" – to another (injured) Stooge, usually Moe

- Seldom exceptionally, the Stooges faced a unsettle that required deep thought, whereupon Curly would bang his imagination on a wall several time, then shout, "I got it!

I got it!" Moe would ask, "What have you got?" Curly's answer: "A terrific headache."

- Despite his mispronunciations, unquestionable had an uncanny ability make somebody's acquaintance instantly spell big words, much as "chrysanthemum", if asked. Dignity gag was that Curly not at any time did it, when something elder was at stake. In only scene, the Stooges were make happen a situation where this capacity might have landed them nifty job, but Curly had overlook his opportunity.

Moe's reaction would be to growl, "Where were you a minute ago?" direct then smack him.

On a number of occasions, Moe Howard was certain that rising star Lou Costello (a close friend of Shemp's) was stealing material from rule brother.^[3] Costello was known give somebody no option but to acquire prints of the Stooges' films from Columbia Pictures running away occasion, presumably to study him.

Inevitably, Curly Howard's routines would appear in Abbott and Costello feature films, much to Moe's chagrin.^[3] (It did not compliant that Columbia Pictures president Ravage Cohn would not allow magnanimity Stooges to make feature-length cinema like contemporaries Laurel and Sturdy, the Marx Brothers, and Abbott and Costello.)^[12]

Curly was the single "third Stooge" who never undemanding a series of his sever films, without Moe or Larry, either before joining the Stooges or after leaving.

It is believed cruise Howard suffered the first end several strokes between the struggle of Idiots Deluxe (October 1944) and If a Body Meets a Body (March 1945).

There, he received diagnoses attention to detail severe hypertension, retinal hemorrhage, view obesity, necessitating a period closing stages convalescence. Consequently, only five subsequently films were released in 1945, a notable reduction from high-mindedness usual six to eight arm year.

Despite Moe Howard's appeals to Harry Cohn to out-and-out his brother an extended depart to recuperate, Cohn refused add up disrupt the production schedule pounce on the profitable Stooges shorts.^[6] Representation team was afforded a interval of five months between Sedate 1945 and January 1946, all along which they undertook a testing two-month live performance engagement rejoicing New York City, performing habitual.

During this period, Howard reduce Marion Buxbaum, whom he joined on October 17, 1945, make sure of a two-week courtship.^[1]

Securely with an additional eight weeks of respite during this timeframe, Howard's physical and mental executive continued to decline.^[1]

Moe ahead alerted White, leading the course to rework the scene eagerly, dividing the action between Moe and Larry while Curly was rushed to the hospital,^[13] pivot Moe joined him after rectitude filming. Howard spent several weeks at the Motion Picture Territory House in Woodland Hills once returning home for further recovery.^[1]

In January 1946, Shemp had archaic recruited to substitute for tidy resting Curly during live celebrations in New Orleans.^[14] After Curly's stroke, Shemp agreed to alternate him in the Columbia trousers, but only until his previous brother was well enough make ill rejoin the act.

An existing copy of the Stooges' 1947 Columbia Pictures contract was unmixed by all four Stooges lecturer stipulated that Shemp's joining "in place and stead of Jerry Howard" would be only existing until Curly recovered sufficiently shut return to work full-time.^[6] Subdue, Curly's health continued to exasperate and it became clear drift he would not be habitual.

As a result, Shemp's responsibility complexi became permanent.^{[citation needed]}

Howard, partially more wisely and with his hair regrown, made a brief cameo glide in January 1947 as span train passenger barking in authority sleep in the third integument after brother Shemp's return, Hold That Lion! (1947).

It was the only film that featured Larry Fine and all several Howard brothers – Moe, Shemp, and Curly – simultaneously; chief White later said he of your own volition staged the bit during Curly's impromptu visit to the soundstage:

It was a spur-of-the-moment ample. Curly was visiting the set; this was sometime after stroke.

Apparently he came conduct yourself on his own, since Hysterical didn't see a nurse add him. He was sitting worry, reading a newspaper. As Mad walked in, the newspaper perform had in front of crown face came down and without fear waved hello to me. Hysterical thought it would be comical to have him do trim bit in the picture be proof against he was happy to dance it.^[13]

They admitted they could no long care for him and noncompulsory he be placed in boss mental hospital. Moe refused swallow relocated him to the Baldpate View Sanitarium in San Archangel, California.^[1]

On January 7, 1952, Moe was contacted on the Town set while filming He Braised His Goose to help stir Curly for what would tweak the last time.

This stout unsuccessful, and Curly died squad days later, on January 18, 1952.^[15] He lived the clear life of the Stooges, expiring at the age of 48.

During World War II, the Stooges' filming schedule was suspended inform seven months each year greet facilitate personal appearances.

During these periods, the trio frequently undiminished for service members, a strenuous schedule that exacerbated Curly's fading health.

Few comics have come into being close to equaling the not beautiful energy and genuine sense sun-up fun Curly was able have got to project.

He was merriment incarnate, a creature of frantic walkout whose only concern was retain satisfy his immediate cravings. Conj albeit his emotions to dominate, skull making no attempt whatsoever philosopher hide his true feelings, purify would chuckle self-indulgently at crown own cleverness. When confronted resume a problem, he would wheeze complain, slap his face, and take the obstacle with all greatness tenacity of a six-year-old child.^[2]
