As a kid, I loved watching The Three Stooges on afternoon kid's TV! Shemp Howard (Samuel Horwitz) was born March 11, 1895! In 1923-1932, he performed with Moe and Larry. In 1932, he left and pursued a successful solo career. In 1946, when Curly's health caused him to drop out of the act, Shemp returned with Moe and Larry. He planned to stay only until Curly got better. But Curly died in 1952. Shemp remained with the act until his own death in 1955. Of the five Horwitz brothers, the first two were not in show business, Shemp was the third brother, Moe the fourth, and Curly the fifth.
