While the Three Stooges were the longest-active and most productive
comedy team in Hollywood, their artistic height coincided with the
years Curly was with them, from 1932 to 1946. To their fans, Curly
stands out as the zaniest of the three. Famous for his high-pitched
voice, his “n’yuk-n’yuk-n’yuk” and “why, soitenly,”
and his astonishing athleticism, Curly was a true natural, an
untrained actor with a knack for improvisation. Yet for decades,
little was known about his personal life.
Then, in 1985, Joan Howard Maurer, Curly’s niece, published this
definitive biography.
When she first set out to write the book, there was almost no
biographical information available about Curly. So she spoke at
length to his relatives, friends, and colleagues. She amassed a
wealth of Curly memorabilia, a mixture of written material and rare
photographs of Curly’s family, films, and personal life. In
Curly: An Illustrated Biography of the Superstooge, she put it all
together to come up with the first and only in-depth look at this
crazy comedic genius. She included plenty of intimate details about
his astonishing relationship with his mother, his marriages, and
his interactions with his daughters and friends.
Despite its excellence as a well-rounded portrait of the most
unpredictable—and most popular—Stooge, Curly has long been out
of print. This new edition of a timeless classic, now updated with
previously unpublished facts, is sure to be appreciated by Three
Stooges fans new and old.
This is a new release of the original 1954 edition.

The stories and incidents in this book reflect the trends and
attitudes of the times. 1959 to 1973 and the camaraderie that
existed between firemen and policemen. There is a brief glimpse of
some of the fires and incidents that put their lives in jeopardy.
Terminology and training are incorporated however this book is
designed to show you the "funny side" of fire fighting and how they
physically and emotionally got through these crises, the stress
breakers and laughter that helped them keep their sanity. Equipment
and techniques have changed with time. They now have Scott Air
Packs instead of WWII Puke Masks, helmets with shields to protect
the face. High tech communication systems and they no longer have
the aerial ladder designed as it was then. 911 didn't exist at that
time, only the fire alarm box system of the 18th century. Equipment
and techniques have changed with time. Some things never change
however...the fire and emergency personnel that SAVES LIVES.

This book is about a little boy who came into the world with a very
special gift, an awesome knowledge of the Universe and the desire
to help mankind. At the age of two he began telling us about
spirits from the other side, about God, the angels, reincarnation,
and that the greatest of these is love. He Is the "Receiver."
