SynopsisTelling the full story of the head Stooge, this work reveals the life-long career of a legendary funnyman. Born into a working-class family in Brooklyn, Moe Howard transformed his real-life experiences of getting into mischief with his brother Shemp into the plots that would have millions rolling in the aisles. From childhood, Moe's ambition was to perform--whether it was plucking a ukulele on the beach, or playing a halfwit on a Mississippi showboat. But he only found success when he joined with Shemp and Larry Fine to play, as the New York Times put it, "three of the frowziest numskulls ever assembled." As the brains behind the Three Stooges, he went on to act in hundreds of their movies, introducing his little brother Curly into the act when Shemp departed, and, after Curly's death, partnering with Joe Besser and finally Joe de Rita. This is Moe Howard's self-penned, no-holds-barred story of the ups and downs of his life, ranging from personal family tragedies to tidbits about career mishaps and triumphs. It overflows with the easygoing charm, generosity, and inspired lunacy of the "wise guy" behind America's most successful comedy trio.

Great Book!
This is a great read. The story of Moe/The Three Stooges, how he came to have the hairstyle, began with the Three Stooges and more. Pictures thru out including a filmography at the end of the book. If you are a fan, this is the book to get. This autobiography is very well written with love and memories to last a lifetime.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Reminiscing a great era in comedy.
What an era this must have been, life was simple and comedy wasn't explicit and made everybody laugh. I remeber watch segments of Michael Jackson's funeral where one of his brothers reminisced about running home from school to watch The Three Stooges, well l remeber doing the exact same thing. As a child of the 60's and 70's we as children couldn't wait to run home and have a good laugh. At school the next day we would get into groups and talk about the episodes we saw and laugh all over again. So yes l guess l value anything Stooge. Moe wasn't my favorite, he remindrd me of my bossy dad, someone l feared as did Larry, Curly and Shemp. But it was all good. As an adault it's great to read about the behind the scene stories and what their world was like, their influences and heartaches, etc.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
