Where is curly howard buried

Curly joined The Three Stooges in to replace his brother, Shemp Howard who was departing for other film opportunities. Up until he joined the group, Curly had thick, reddish brown hair and a waxed mustache, all of which he shaved off to create his distinctive look as the new member of The Three Stooges.

During his fourteen year career from to with The Three Stooges, Curly was a part of fourteen feature films and more than short films. The short subject films were usually 15 to 20 minutes long and are the films that most people are familiar with when they think of The Three Stooges.

The less well known side of Curly Howard is that he was a good basketball player in school despite being only 5' 5" tall; that he loved and excelled at ballroom dancing; and that he was a competent singer. Despite his animated persona when acting, he was actually quite shy when not in character. He despised his appearance with a shaved head thinking that it did not look manly and normally wore a hat when not performing.

He was married four times and the father of two daughters. Curly left The Three Stooges in May after suffering a severe stroke.

He was 42 years old at the time and it was thought at first that he would recover. His brother, Shemp Howard, was persuaded to return to the group temporarily until Curly was able to rejoin the group again. Curly's health continued to decline and he suffered several additional strokes. Curly Howard died from of the effects of his many strokes on January 18, at San Gabriel, California. But for Stooge fans worldwide, no pilgrimage to Movieland would be complete without first paying their respects to The Boys.

The loyal ones come with their Stooge-Mania T-shirts, scrapbooks and Stooge paraphernalia. They arrive atop Harley-Davidsons and inside mobile homes, as solitary singles or groups of half a dozen, hailing from Tokyo to Timbuktu. They find Curly nestled in Row 5 of a far-flung corner of the acre cemetery, the gravestone carrying his real first name. On his crypt sit three pebbles, a sign that the faithful have come and gone. While their grave sites still attract visitors, the numbers are relatively few compared to other stars.

Recently, we had people show up from Africa. He loved women. He liked to drink. He ate too much. He did everything that was bad for him. He was this big kid on-screen and in real life as well. My dad was his dad. He followed him around, worrying about him. Shemp soon joined the act, followed in by violinist Larry Fine. After a move to Depression-era Hollywood, Shemp was replaced by kid brother Curly--who reluctantly shaved his wavy brown hair for the role.

In , Curly suffered a stroke. Partially paralyzed, he died six years later at age Together, the Stooges made short-subject and full-length films, and earned a star on the Walk of Fame. When the latest Stooge Mania hit a decade ago, the number of visitors increased at Home of Peace.

Young families. Old women with canes. So, while they discourage grave searches, staffers try to accommodate them.
