Remembering Larry Fine
 Larry Fine American Comedian and Actor October 5, 1902 – January 24, 1975 |
A member of the Three Stooges comedy team he was a large part of my morning entertainment early on and I suffered both those accusations of retardation for emulating him and the continued desire to witness those facets of his work through which I found him interesting.
Born Louis Feinberg, Larry Fine the American actor, comedian, violinist and boxer was the middle stooge, Larry and he was often the victim of the comedy antics while other times the central focus.
He began his career in vaudeville playing the violin. He was easily recognized by his high and wide forehead surrounded by a thick curly pate of red hair.
His personal life was fraught with the pitfalls of financial prudence and cash flow. Regardless of his personal difficulties, he always tried to make himself available to various stooge fans over his waining years.
He suffered a number of strokes at the end of his life to which ultimately succumbed — with Moe following some 4 years later.
