Product Description:
Did Stooge favorites Curly, Shemp and Larry suffer cerebral hemorrhages as a result of being repeatedly hit on the head? What role did the Stooges' creator Ted Healy play in the mysterious death of comedienne Thelma Todd? Was Healy himself fatally beaten by a group of tough guys (including actor Wallace Beery and gangster Pat DiCicco) during a nightclub brawl on Hollywood's Sunset Strip? What did Beery's boss, MGM president Louis B. Mayer, do to cover up the incident? And what was the connection between the New York Mafia, Columbia Pictures rajah Harry Cohn, and the Stooges themselves? These and many other fascinating questions are addressed in this definitive look at the Most Popular Comedy Team of All Time.

The Three Stooges: The Triumphs and Tragedies of The Most Popular Comedy Team of All Time by Jeff and Tom Forrester is the most accurate (and therefore the best) biography of The Three Stooges ever written - I should know, because not only am I a lifelong fan of The Three Stooges, but I also had the pleasure of working at Columbia for just over nine years, and was lucky enough to become personal friends with not only Shemp Howard, Larry Fine and Joe Besser, but also Emil Sitka, Jules White and Edward ...

I bought this book to find out the true story of the Three Stooges and I was not disappointed.

This is the whole story of the life and times of the Stooges who brought so much laughter to a worldwide audience and continue to do so long ... Read More

Cheap homage is paid to the Three Stooges in this book, attention to accuracy and detail are not. This book contains multitudes of errors and desperately requires a competent editor with some integrity. From Page One the authors take grandiose liberties with detail, spreading embellishments thickly like a spicey (and spoiled) condiment. For instance, the book opens describing the day the Three Stooges were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It begins: "It was one of the hottest days ... Read More

Parts of this book will be familiar to readers of the Forresters' early-1980s book "The Stooge Chronicles" - call it "stock verbiage" if you will. However, there's plenty of new material. The Forresters again remain in the thrall of the late Mousie Garner, a vaudeville comedian who hung with the Three Stooges and obviously desperately wanted to say he'd been in the troupe, though he never really was. A genial man, he remained alive and sentient far longer than any of the actual Three Stooges (passing away ... Read More

This was the book that re-introduced me to the marvelous Stooges. It is filled with interesting facts, interviews, and pictures. I just started to get into the Three Stooges andthis book really made me a fan. You just have to read it!
