It's no fun until somebody loses an eye.
Published by Brett Hess , 1 year ago
Some of the most brilliantly funny men have the saddest personal lives. John Belushi, Chris Farley, and Sam Kinnison were all proceeded by Jerome Horwitz, otherwise known as Curly.
This book was a real insight into Curly's life. I would strongly suggest you read it.
Sad to realize how lonely he was
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I just read this book, and while it does give alot of good information about Curly, it is very sad about his life. Some of the people say some kind things about him, while others, including his ex wife and a couple of others, just bash him. He was a very shy, very to himself person and to some people that meant he was a mean person. I do recommend it to anyone who loves Curly as much as I do, but be warned, there are some pretty mean things said about him and some things you would of had no idea about his life. But all in all he was a brilliant genius in what he did no matter what anyone says about him.
I'll tell you what MJ and Curly have in common!

I'm sorry to anyone who actually is looking for a review because I haven't read the book--I'm actually trying to buy it, I just wanted to point out to 'stoogesfan' that the reason Michael Jackson was involved with the book is that he loves Curly just as much as you do, he thinks Curly is like the funniest person ever, and having the opportunity to do so, he decided to share that with the world. Everyone loves Curly so it's not hard to understand why he was involved.
Good insight into the life of a highly talented comedian.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Joan Howard Maurer gives the reader a very in-depth look into the life of her famous uncle. Curly's brilliance as a comedian is evident in her well-written biography. She also does quite well at showing that Curly was a shy, private person when "off-camera". A great book for anyone who loves the Stooges!
