March 4 is the date Mort provided for Shemp's death certificate. March 17 was an invention of Universal in the early 1940s for Shemp's studio bio. |

A question for the Howard family: When is Shemp's birthday? Some source state March 4th, while others claim March 17th. On the correct date, I'd like recommend all of us "Shempers" go to YouTube and watch our favorite Shemp scenes. Our own personal "Shempathon," if you will! |

I have only been a Stooge-a-holic for 6 years. I would like to say that Shemp is far and away the best of them all. His talents were one of a kind and truly wonderful. I just would like to say or should it be ask, DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET COPIES OF HIS FILMS, MAINLY HIS SOLO SHORTS? HAVE BEEN HUNTING EVERYWHERE AND I HAVE COME UP DRY. HE RULES. Would like to say thank you for all. Have a great day. Moron4392 |

Thanks for creating a wonderful website for one of my life-long heros. I just purchased the dvd "Shemp Cocktail" and it is such a treat and honor to hear all of your family stories of Shemp and the Howard brothers. Good Luck in the future with this awesome website. All the Best- Rob Cukale. |

Great to read about "Uncle" Shemp. He was married to a distant relative so you can add my name to that growing list. |

Jill/Sandie/Geri - Watched the Shemp tribute on your "Shemp Cocktail" DVD. Thought you would like to know that the picture of Shemp with his father isn't from WWI. Solomon is visiting the set of "The Officer's Mess" (1935), a service comedy Shemp did at Vitaphone. |

What a terrific website! Of all the Stooges, I've always liked Shemp the best. I'm so glad there's now this website devoted to him that his fans can enjoy. Thanks for doing that. |

My girlfriend just took us to the 11th annual Three Stooges screening at the Alex theater in Glendale and it was fantastic!! What a joy to see them on the silver screen, as intended years ago. The night finished with a pic of me and Shemps grand daughter and great grand daughter--AWESOME!! Thanks for a memorable night! Ebebebebebeb!!! |

This site gave me a lot to think about. Shemp was a master! |

i love how Shemp can do the same ruitines as Curly and he never ever seems like hes copying him. Their both just so great. |
|
Comments
Haven't laughed so hard in a long time. The "Shemp Sounds" are priceless. I think Shemp was the funniest of the stooges. |
|
Comments
Shemp was the BEST. Period. I have so many good memories watching him growing up. I have passed on this love of Shemp to my two boys, who are now 4th generation fans. If I ever get to LA I will stop at his grave and pay my respects! |
|
Comments
I hope Shemp's family can convince Sony to put bonus footage on the "Three Stooges Collection" volumes that will feature Shemp, namely all 15 of his solo Columbia shorts (1938-47) and some kinescopes of the boys' appearances on Frank Sinatra Show, Colgate Comedy Hour, and Milton Berle show. Likewise I hope they can convince Warner Home Video to cash in on Sony's series by releasing a 3 disc DVD collecting all thier Stooge library: the 5 MGM shorts plus "Roast Beef & Movies" and "Jailbirds of Paradise", plus all 30 of Shemp's Vitaphone (Warner Bros) shorts (1933-37). |

Loved the Shemp...grew up watching the Stooges every morning before school..set the foundation of my sense of humor today. |

I just found your website right after I found the Stoogeum website through wikipedia. I have always been a big fan of "The Stooges" and I have always felt that Shemp was funnier than Curly. I also discovered through my research that Christine Mc Intyre hated her work with the Three Stooges and would never discuss it with anyone. Is this really true? I understand that every actress wants to be taken seriously but her work with the boys was really very funny. Please reply. Thanks. |

A great comedy legend who I sorely miss. |
|
Comments
yeah,I heard that that site did some rude things to the Howard family. Any one know the real story? |
|
Comments
Rick - C3 owns the trademark rights to the 3 Stooges, and litigated Shemp's family in recent years over ownership of "Shemp". The family wants their site to be a tribute to Shemp Howard, not to C3's "property". |
|
Comments
I am confused. There is very little 3 stooges content on this page. The Howard family made the "Three Stooges" famous. You could have plugged in almost any actor with Moe, Curly or Shemp and had just as much success. Don't get me wrong. I loved Larry, Joe was passable, the third one was just forgettable. |
|
Comments
Is there a Shemp store? What a wonderfull site. It was nice spending time with you Shemp. |
|
Comments
I want to thank you, dear ladies, for putting together this site. How proud you must be of your heritage. Shemp Howard was a comedic genius. The footwork he employed when engaging an adversary in fisticuffs always cracks me up. His comedic timing and dialog were flawless. Thank you for giving this master of film comedy the attention he so richly deserves. What else is there to be said? "There ain't no Moe." |
|
Comments
Shemp is by far my favourite Stooge. I have so many fond memories of watching the old Three Stooges VHS tapes with my dad when I was little. I remember laughing myself to tears with "Malice In The Palace" and "Sing a Song of Six Pants", Shemp was so handsome and hilarious! |

Oh,Shemp is just the best. SO handsome. Im totally going to write a poem/song about him. I actually did write one..get this: That beautiful face, That devilish grin, Not even a trace, Of imperfect skin. I wrote that after seeing that picture of him when hes a teenager. Pretty pretty. =) |
|
Comments
I gotta say,I agree with Scott. This is a wonderful site (the sound clips are so funny) and its really great that Shemp is getting some recognition. He brought so much to the Stooges,and people hardly notice him. I love to watch both Shemp and Curly episodes,but I must say theres some sort of comedic intelligence about him,thats one of a kind. |
|
Comments
I just wanted to say how much laughter and joy Shemp and all the Stooges brought me and my brothers over the years, and I wanted to say THANK YOU to you, his loving family...you are wonderful people. |

Hi. I'm a big fan of Shemp. I'm only 15 years old and i first saw him in Brideless Groom when i was 7 years old. He is the funniest. I just love your girls' website for him. I'm sure he is very proud of you. I just think hes the funniest because of all the stuff he does and says like his little saying. Sorry I'm kinda nervous about posting on here because I'm so young. Thanks for making the website for him. Peace and love be with you, K.C. |

I received my copy of Shemp Cocktail and have watched the interviews and Remembering Shemp so far. I enjoyed them immensely and can't wait to get to the movies. I have been a fan of the stooges since I can remember watching them on TV in the middle 60's. I found out about the DVD in the Three Stooges Journal since I belong to the Three Stooges Fan Club. I am glad I got that issue. The only thing I didn't get was the Hand Signed Print of Shemp in my package. Don't know what may have happened, but I am still glad I ordeded the DVD. Thanks!! Jeff |

Will do,Rich. Thanks. :) Happy Stoogin to all |

Canvesback..Quite possibly. I exchanged letters with Moe for about 5 years. His son Paul is a wonderful friend, and was a guest at our home last May when I brought him to town to do his "Son of Moe" presentation. If you'd like to take the discussion off-line, please drop me a line at nyuk50@comcast.net. Rich |

To Canvassback duck: No I'm not connected with that book. My book is "My Friend Moe...Memories of a Stoogeboomer", published in 2006. Copies have sold throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. It's available from all on-line booksellers (i.e. Barnes & Noble, Amazon, etc.). |

Hi Jill & Sandie: Just stumbled onto your site by accident. I was amazed on your home page to see reference to the 2004 article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. I'm the guy that was interviewed for that story. I'm sort of the recognized "Stoogeologist" in southwestern Pennsylvania. You have a great sight! I would like to correspond with you gals sometime.

A belated Happy Birthday to the worlds most underrated comic...Sandy and Jill, please heed; I recently asked my grandson (age five) "Danny, do you like the 3 stooges?" His response verbatum: " Yup, I like "em all, 'cept I'm waitin' for one with Shemp when he runs with the football faster than Curly". I told him there was no such film, and he responded, " Well, he makes me laugh anyway, especially when he saves Larry and Moe when they get beat up...God Bless Shemp! |

My great-uncle was Cy Schindel who performed in several of the Stooge shorts as well as small parts in other movies, most notably the classic "It's a Wonderful Life." Cy had a daughter, Jacqueline, who was my father's 1st cousin. Our family has lost track of Jackie, as well as any children she might have had. Does anyone out there know anything about Cy Schindel (also known as Cy Schindell and Al Seymour) or his descendants? He died in 1948 and is buried in Los Angeles. |

I would very much love to have them I have six of the nine shorts. But my Calling all Kids is very bad quality. Do you know of anyone who might have these three I need. Thanks again so much and please reply. I am looking for: for the love of pete,punch and beauty,taking the count |

Hello Shemp fans! I just wanted to thank you for leaving us your e-mail addresses in our guest book. This gave me the opportunity to personally send each one of you from Dec 2007 back to 2005 a personal invitation to pre-order the long overdue.. "SHEMP COCKTAIL" DVD dual set. If you would like, I would be more than happy to send a personal e-mail to someone you know who would also truly enjoy their own copy of "SHEMP COCKTAIL" by inviting them to pre-order as well. Great for Birthdays, holidays, over-the-hill, graduations, or any occasion to sit down and enjoy Shemp Howard, the original un-forgotten Stooge. Please leave post in guest book and I will daily check in. Thank you again, Sandie Howard |

SHOT IN THE FRONTIER (1954) is not on DVD. It was on an early '90s VHS from GoodTimes; mediocre video quality; out-of-print for about 15 years. Sony/Columbia released its first chronological DVD set of Stooge shorts in Oct. 2007, "The Three Stooges Collection Volume 1 1934-1936," glorious new prints from restored negatives. If the studio maintains a regular release schedule, it'll be a couple more years before FRONTIER is released. 3 Stooges home video database, 1980 - Today... http://www.threestooges.net/videography.php |

Casey asks:"Shot in the Frontier" Is it on video or locate copy? Fans please reply within Guest Book. Casey also asks:"Why Shemp could not be saved? It was a Cerebral Hemmorage, onset to quick. Took place in a car. Was in backseat joking around. Lit his cigar and it happened. The others thought Shemp was kidding around initially. It was not a heart attack as legend has it. Thank you Casey for question. Sandie |

Shemp has always been my favorite stooge ever since I was young watching the stooges reruns on Sunday mornings (not sure why they were on Sundays but they always seemed to be when I was a kid). I liked Shemp so much that I decided that if I ever had a pet I would pick one out that reminded me of Shemp and name him Shemp. Well, I have an 11 year old cat named Shemp that I rescued from a shelter when she (yes she) was just a little kitten. She's a great stooge and carries on Shemp's name very well. Keep the shemp stuff coming on the website. Great stuff! |

Shemp always puts a smile on my face; but knowing the Howard women, Jilly, Sandie and Geri has been a true joy. I love those girls! |

Gosh, its been a couple of months since i've been into the website. Some of you I personally have met this past year and I'm greatly honored by 'all of you' that you took the time to view the personal side of our grandfather and signed this guestbook. Its such a pleasure to read your written words that I know are from the bottom of your hearts, thank you, i'm personally very humbled! IF ANYONE OUT THERE knows where we can find a copy of "ART TROUBLE" i think most of us need to have one according to 2 of our recent posts. Please advise. Also very important: check back into the web-site in the near future, You will be thrilled you did,no-- 'double thrilled'. Sincerely, Sandie |

I am Merle William Goodwin (Bill). My mother Frances (Fay) was one of Babe's older sisters. I lost track of Babe and Shemp after Morton's untimely death. I would dearly like to be able to make ontact with Babe's grand daughters. If they would send me an email,it sure would be apprec- iated. My daughter Susan came on this site and sent it to me. It is wonderful. My mother and I lived for about six months in the same apartment in Bensonhurst (sp?) as Shemp, Babe and Morton. She was taking care of her brother Sid who was very seriously injured in a car accident. I treasure that time as it was the only time that Morton, I and Anna's son Dudley were living in the same neighborhood. I hope to hear from Babe's grand daughters. |

Greetings. We might be cousins or something like that. My name is Sue Goodwin. My grandmother was Babe's sister ... so my Dad was Shemp and Babe's nephew. His name is Merle William Goodwin. He actually spent a summer living with Shemp and Babe when grandma took care of another sick sibling I think. I would love to be in touch with you. |

As kids we watched the Stooges everyday after school. Most of my friends liked Curly, but I loved Shemp as the third Stooge. To this day, I am in awe of his artistry and have converted many into Shemp fanatics with just one viewing of the “Cousin Basil” scene or the faux boxing session with the insurance adjuster (played by Vernon Dent) or “Squareheads of the Round Table”. That’s all it takes. One-by-one they have all come to agree Shemp rules! When Curly had to retire it would have been easy for Moe and Larry to find a “Curly-lite”. But someone like Shemp was needed to walk in (and step out of) Curly’s shadow, not a Curly copy-cat. And no one else but Shemp could pull it off. He is my pantheon of all-time greats! |

IVE BEEN A THREE STOOGES FAN FOR 50 YEARS, AND HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT SHEMP REALLY HAD AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK TO DO, SATISFYING THE FANS WITH THE VOID MADE WHEN CURLY HAD TO RETIRE. HE DID A GREAT JOB, BUT I AM SADDENED WHEN HE IS PUT DOWN FOR "NOT BEING AS GOOD AS CURLY WAS". WHO COULD HAVE DONE BETTER? NO ONE. |

I liked Curly, but whenever a "Shemp" came on, I was in heaven! Shemp was the funniest Stooge, and I am surprised he has not gotten more props from Stooge fans. I mean, c'mon: "ebebebebebebe"...what more could you ask for! |

What we need is a documentary about Shemp as a solo artist and fellow stooge also..maybe A&E could put together something...or even better, have all of his stuff released to DVD!! The Joe Palooka stuff and everything! "If at first you don't succeed...well, you know the rest!! |

Hi Sandie and Jill, We will be in L.A. March 9 and 10 and would love to meet up with you if you have any time next weekend (i.e. late afternoon, Sat. March 10?). We are Stooge convention people - Frankie has a humongous Stooge memorabilia collection and has been going to the convention in PA since the 80s. We are going this year. We have visited "J and J" in LA and would love to meet you as well. Write back to the above email and I'll send you a photo of Frankie's Stooges Room.... thanks so much, Susie (and Frankie) Boston, MA |

Hello Stooge Fans, I am so glad that Shemp is recognized for his God given talent to make people laugh. He seemed so helpless all the time and yet we loved it when he got smacked!!!! RIP God Bless, Dan |

All of the films mentioned in my previous e-mail are Three Stooges ones. |

Although I really liked Curly, Shemp has always been my favorite Stooge. I wish there were more of his films available on DVD. Among those films are "Shot In The Frontier", "Hugs And Mugs", "Hot Scots", "Scotched In Scotland" and "Love At First Bite". I really feel that these films are prime examples of the underrated talent that Shemp possessed. You have a wonderful web site here and it is a fine tribute to your grandfather, Shemp. I can just picture him saying things like "Oh, gravy! I loves gravy!" And of course, his classic "Eep, eep, eep eep.... Take care and all the best. Sincerely, Mike Davidson. |

My dad, a big fan of the Stooges, introduced me to them when I was little. I hated them at first, because it seemed like all they did was hit each other, but recently my siblings and I have discovered how hilarious they are. We can't get enough of 'em. Shempie (and Moe) = awesomeness Thank you so much for creating this site! |
|
Comments
Although I love each Stooge for different reasons, Shemp has always been my personal favorite. I'm glad there are others out there who agree. Shemp was not just a Curly replacement...he had a singular talent for pratfalls, mugging, and general Stooge silliness. |

I have watched "The Three Stooges" for over 20 years. The older I get, the more I appreciate Shemp's talent--I am much more of a "Shemp fan" than a "Curly fan". This web site is awesome!!! |

I have always enjoyed watching Shemp Howard. When I got older I started a search of Films and Shorts he did I really loved his Comedy. God Blessed us when he created Shemp Howard and His brothers. |

Why is it so hard to find Shemp items? I love Shemp. Why does the official Stooge site treat Shemp like a second class bum. They give more love to the others! You do not under stand; "I LOVE SHEMP"! I am truly offended by the lack of love other sites give up for Shemp. Hell, I find more info about Curly Joe. That's just wrong. I found you by accident. Thanks so much. |

What a great site. Shemp was the original stooge and had immense talent. Keep up the great work |

I loved watching the Three Stooges as a kid growing up in Detroit in the mid '80s. Weeknights on WKBD from 12am-1am it was Comedy Classics. My favorite Stooge episodes are the ones with Shemp. (Heavenly Daze, Hot Scots,) When you took over for Curly the Stooges didn't miss a beat. I personally thought the storylines improved. Thank you Shemp for your effort and timeless moments. God bless. |

I really enjoyed your website. I'm a huge fan of Shemp and now enjoy watching him and the other stooges on DVD. God bless the Howard family and God bless Shemp! |

Hello Jill and Sande I e-mailed you sometime back with a list of Shemps home addresses in Hollywood. I was wondering if you could help me out? I have two streets where Curly lived - Edinburgh in North Hollywood Maple Drive - Beverly Hills I don't have the addresses and was wondering if you would know them or know someone I could e-mail that might know? I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give me. Do you know if Moe's daughter, Joan, has a web site? Take care Bob Siler |

I have always loved the Three Stooges since I was a kid, and I still do! They where, and still are legends. I have previously read articles about Mr. Horwitz, stating that he was not particularly handsome, well I beg to differ, because from the biographies I have read about him, I think he was a beautiful person inside as well as outside. |

Just stopping by to say hello to Jill and Sandie. Keep up the good work. Jill knows I am one of Shemp's biggest fans. Happy Holidays to the both of you and it's hard to believe, but 2006 is almost here. Growing up, Shemp kept me in stitches and had me in front of the television everyday after school. He was my favorite. Jim Leinonen Long Beach |

Shemp what can I say about a man who represents comedy in it’s purest form. A man that developed his art form into what I believe is an American treasure. I as a great fan of Shemp believe him to be a genius of movement and sound. He created comical magic every time he set foot in front of the camera. He amazed all those he worked with, including my greatest friend the late Stooge Director Edward Bernds who had the privilege of working with him on numerous films. Ed made no secrets about it Shemp was his favorite Stooge of them all. Ed loved the man. One of the many Shemp photographs Ed autographed for me he wrote these words “Lovable, Laughable Shemp my Favorite Edward Bernds.” I hope they are together again, smiling and content. |

I have only recently started searching out his non-stooge related work and what I've seen so far has been hilarious. I hope to see this site continue to grow and give us a more in-depth look in to this wondefully funny man. Love the scrapbook photo's MORE PLEASE!!!! |

Hi, Jill and Sandie! So glad to hear that you're looking at merchandising some Shemp goodies. I agree with one of our other fan club members that something(perhaps a halloween card) has got to be done with the image of "Shemp bat". Also, perhaps we could have a "Gospel According to Shemp"(drawing from "Heavenly Daze") Bible study. Hey---the Andy Griffith Show has one! :) God bless you!!! Rev. Kenny Heath ("amateur Moe") |

Hello my good friends Jill and Sandie! Very nice to hear from you on the Stooge group! You know, I'm really honored to have my drawings always on exhibition in your wonderful site, and I can't thank you enough for that. Shemp truly deserves my work and much more. And he would be very proud to have such granddaughters! Well, speaking of Shemp merchandise, I would like to see neckties with Shemp photos on them. Usually we're accustomed to see Three Stooges ties with Curly as the third Stooge only, no Shemp or Joe Besser images. So Shemp ties would be the perfect accesory. My best always, Diego from Argentina. ¡Shemp por siempre! ¡Viva Shemp! |

I would like to see a quality Shemp T-Shirt for sale on the market. Something with a portrait shot of Shemp from his days with the Stooges. I would also like to see a neat Shemp bumper sticker. Maybe with the words "Remember Shemp?", or "Don't forget about Shemp". Or "What would Shemp do?" |

I just love to see the personal sides of the Stooges, to prove that they were, and are, real flesh-and-blood working class people like you and I. The sons of Lithuanian immigrants whose hands and sweat built America. The Stooges admitedly played the cesspools of the show business world, but today they're known and loved around thw world, unlike a few other comedy teams who "made the big time" in movies! Shemp Howard (Shmool Horvitz) was a unique talent and a terrific guy in his private life! Wish I had known him! Thanks! |

The following is a letter that I posted on Shempcompany.com,on 12/19/2002:This is a letter that I wrote to C3,on 8/1/2002.To whom it may concern-Everyone seems to forget that there were four original members of The Three Stooges.Whenever most people talk about the Stooges,it's always about Moe,Larry and Curly.What about Shemp? |
|
Comments
Don't get me wrong-I like Curly as much as any other dyed-in-the-wool Stooges fan-but Shemp deserves some long overdue recognition and credit!He always gets pushed aside and forgotten as though he wasn't important at all.Shemp was extremely important,as he was one of the founding members of The Three Stooges.He helped to establish many of their routnes and to develop the famous "eye poke". |
|
Comments
When Curly joined the Stooges,Shemp went on to enjoy a successful solo career that spanned 15 years and included nearly 100 films.Shemp was a star,but was forced to give it all up and take a demotion by returning to an act that he didn't want to return to. |
|
Comments
It's ridiculous why such a talented comedic character actor like Shemp Howard is so unappreciated and ignored!There's no telling what would have happened to The Three Stooges had Shemp not returned to the act.He returned mainly,because he cared about his brothers and their families as well as Larry and his family,and was concerned about what would happen to them,had the act not continued.Shemp was a very thoughtful,caring,unselfish man! |
|
Comments
It's about time to bring Shemp out of"Curly's shadow"and into the spotlight where he belongs!He was just as talented as everyone else and deserves respect!He wasn't a "second rate replacement",nor did he try to imitate anyone.He was an original Stooge who used his own talents and abilities.He was a very gifted improvisational comedian and slapstick actor!It's about time everyone recognizes that fact!He spent the last 9 years of his life starring in those Three Stooges films,and saved the act while doing so.Also,there are only 38 Three Stooges films,starring Shemp,on video-where are the other 39? |
|
Comments
There should be more merchandise featuring Shemp!He deserves more than a tee shirt that says he is the "Forgotten Stooge".Shemp Howard was one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived and should never be forgotten!He contributed the most regarding the success of the act,especially,when he gave up his solo career to please everyone else!There probably wouldn't have been any Stooges had Shemp not been one of the ones who started it all.Anyone who doesn't appreciate Shemp is not a true Stooge fan.There are many others who share my opinion.Shemp contributed the most and gets forgotten the most.It doesn't make one bit of sense!A true Stooge fan,Tammy Nethery |

Shemp old boy, I love ya. Your comedy takes me back to when I came to this wonderful country back in 1973. Now my son who is only 5 in 2005, watches you guys all the time laughs with me. By the way, he calls you "the three funny stooges" (I'm truly serious). |

It's an absolute honor to sign your guestbook. The Three Stooges are the greastet comedy team to ever graze the screen period.I would be so happy if I could talk to either one of Shemp's granddaughters in the future. sincerely joe,(just one of the billions of avid Three Stooges fans.) |

Curly, Shmurly ... Shemp was the best! From what village in USSR did Jennie and Solomon Horwitz emigrate to America? |

Just a question really. I know that Shemp and Babe loved your father Mort very much, and they must have been really proud of him and his achievements. But it seems odd that they only had one child. Shemp clearly loved children and was a clown to them. And from footage I've seen of Shemp and his family he loved fooling around with the kids. My question is did Shemp and Babe not want anymore children other than Mort? They seemed like really doting and loving parents who loved kids. |

Shemp was a true genius and could improvise with the best comedians of all time...both younger brother Curly and Shemp had their own unique style...Moe was no slouch either! Great site and tribute to a funny man. |

I'm a lifelong fan of Shemp Howard and the three stooges. Especially Shemp, he was the comedian of the Howard family. |
