Moses Horwitz was born in Brooklyn, New York, on June 19, 1897. The Three Stooges brand of comedy is as timeless and funny now as it was when it was first shown to theater-going patrons of the Depression Era. During their heyday in the 1930s and 1940s, The Three Stooges, including the beloved Curly, were the kings of the comedy short. In all, the Three Stooges as a team made over 200 appearances in short films and full-length feature films, not counting many television appearances. From their debut film feature Soup to Nuts in 1930, to their swan song Kook's Tour in 1970, The Three Stooges enthralled the viewing public with their unusual brand of slapstick comedic mayhem and off-the-wall verbal antics.
