Moe Howard
![]() Perhaps most famous for his black sugar-bowl haircut and prominent eyebags, Moe Howard (June 19, 1897 – May 4, 1975)--born Harry Moses Horwitz--was the "leader" of the Three Stooges. The distinctive coiffe came about when he was a boy and cut off his curls with a scissors, producing a ragged shape approximating a helmet. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

His other method of keeping the other stooges in line was a slap to the face. Both actions were accompanied by off-screen sound effects, so they appeared much more violent than they were. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In private life, Moe Howard was a kind and sensitive person who was greatly saddened by the loss of his brothers Curly and Shemp at a relatively young age. Through it all, he maintained a sense of humor and comic timing that served him throughout his career and life. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Howard was married to a cousin of magician Harry Houdini, whom he was devoted to for many years. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Wise investments during and after his time with the stooges allowed him to live comfortably well after his carreer in hollywood ended. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In a 2000 TV movie, Moe was played by Paul Ben-Victor. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
