One Fine Stooge, the life story of Larry Fine—the original frizzy-haired member of the classic comedy team—reveals the charming and poignant life of the famed comedian who took a beating for more than four decades. Behind the comic mask that he wore most of his adult years as a Stooge—on stage, in films, television, cartoons, and in every facet of entertainment—was a life filled with fame and fortune, but also with bad luck and tragedy. This tumultuous trip through decades in show business is based on Larry Fine's own memoirs, featuring the late comedian's private memorabilia collection—now published for the first time—providing an unparalleled visual history of the most prolific comedy team in entertainment annals.
Like them or not, the Three Stooges are an institution of American comedy, popular icons of the greatest renown. This is their story as revealed by Larry Fine in his own words, augmented by fascinating anecdotes from family members and co-workers.
