#humor #legend It's anniversary of his death tomorrow. Shemp Howard (March 11, 1895 – November 22, 1955) died 60 years ago today at the age of 60. Born Samuel Horwitz, he was called "Shemp" because "Sam" came out that way in his mother's thick Litvak accent. He is best known today for his role as the third stooge in the Three Stooges

I really liked Shemp as a kid and as an adult, too.

The lives of the Three Stooges in reality was quite tragic, they were exploited by the film industry, yet they made generation after generation laugh — very ironic and bittersweet …
@OldCountryDoctor He was the only one of them that had a separate film career.
