However, the director, Edward Bernds (this was his first film as director) realized that Curly wasn’t at full capacity. If you watch the short, he appears to be okay, even doing some physical comedy. ![]() On the set of A Bird in the Head, Curly’s performance was impacted. Prior to that stroke in May, Curly already was being impacted by medical issues…what has been described as a series of “mini-strokes”. Shemp rejoined the act after Curly had a major stroke in 1946…reportedly reluctantly, but realizing that Moe and Larry would be in trouble without a third stooge. Shemp was off as a successful solo act (including appearing with Abbott and Costello), supposedly with the promotional line, “The Ugliest Man in Hollywood” (and this is while Rondo Hatton was working…Hatton had a medical condition which gave him unusual looks which led to him being cast in horror movies). With the Moe/Larry/Curly team, the Stooges made a number of now legendary comic shorts (after parting ways with Healy and changing studios). Moe (who was the leader in real life, as he was in the eventual shorts), took him out, shaved his head, told Healy he was a different brother, and Healy fell for it. Shemp left the act, and the third brother, Curly (then nicknamed “Babe”) joined it…the version I like the best is that Curly (then with long curly hair and a mustache) auditioned, and Healy (who reportedly had alcohol issues) didn’t like him. Healy was the front man, the lead comedian, and the Stooges (originally Moe, then his brother Shemp joined, and later friend Larry Fine) would interrupt him, leading to slapstick abuse. The Stooges were part of an act, and they didn’t get top billing…it was Ted Healy and His Stooges. While many people think of Curly as the original third stooge, who was replaced by his brother Shemp, that’s not exactly how it happened. In this case, the “third stooge” is Curly…and that’s important, and surprisingly, may have a good deal to do with why this video exists. Posted by “Retro Horror” ( was some curiosity as to what the origin of the clip was…and I was happy to answer!
