Product Description:
In this paparazzi-inundated world, it's hard to imagine that there was a time when genuine movie stars were accessible to members of the public. That was certainly the case in the 1970s with surviving members of the Three Stooges comedy team. Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly-Joe DeRita and Joe Besser routinely corresponded with their young admirers, invited them into their homes, and forged genuine friendships. Stooges Among Us is a record of these unique relationships told in the words of the fans themselves. Also sharing their insights are Stooges' family members, colleagues and close personal friends. Leonard Maltin, the renowned film critic and historian, provides the foreword to this often candid, always affectionate tribute. Here you will gain a back-stage pass to vaudeville theatres, movie sets, television studios and even a high school auditorium which featured performances by "The Boys." You will be there for touching, personal moments, as well as hilarious antics in which life mirrors the on-screen Stooge personas. Containing never-before published photographs and interviews with the Stooges, this is an unexpected treasure that will be read and re-read by classic comedy fans of all ages.

The title was curious to me, the cover photo wowed me, then I saw Leonard Maltin wrote a foreword. That convinced me this book had something new to say. I am so happy I read the book; it's filled with short chapters of different authors recalling their brush with the Stooges. These arent just old anecdotes compiled together. There is a soul here.
Author Lon Davis' own friendship with Larry inspired him to write. He gives us insite of these gifted, talented actors behind ... Read More

We've been very fortunate to have seen several excellent books on the Stooges recently. But, for my money, one of the finest reads of late is "Stooges Among Us", compiled by Lon and Debra Davis.
Through essays by those who met the Stooges in their waning years, it paints an extraordinarily human portrait of elderly Stooges who are proud of their accomplishments, appreciative of their young fans, and perhaps just a little bitter about their stature in the realm of film comedy. How would ... Read More

In short,this book is a fun, fascinating collection of stories and anecdotes written by friends and fans of THE THREE STOOGES--always interesting and warmly insightful. Loved it from cover to cover. Highly recommended!

When I first heard there was another book about the Stooges coming out I had a luke-warm reaction. Like "What more can be said that hasn't been said in the many other books."
What is missing from most of the other books is the personal interaction of the Stooges. Moe's book (published two years after his death from his incomplete notes) is strangely cold, it never lets you understand how they felt & interacted with each other. Moe's book (not this one) makes you feel like Shemp just kind ... Read More

There's something about seeing old Stooges in photos that's really intriguing. As years progressed in their career, The Three Stooges (especially in the 60s), became cartoonish in appearance anyway--sort of caricatures of themselves. I love the photos of old Moe with the full bangs of silver hair (sans shoe-polish black hair dye). It's nice to know these old guys loved their fans. That's what you ultimately take away from this book.
The book's concept is a fresh one and the editors ... Read More
