Out of all the three stooges Curly is my favorite. I love the way he always went woo woo woo! The way he made those barking sounds like a dog when he got mad and the way he used his crew cut head as sandpaper. Curly was a comic genious! Moe and Larry were great too and I also like Shemp who replaced Curly after his untimely death but Curly was still the funniest stooge in my opinion. By the way Curly was 48 years old when he died in 1952 of a stroke and was married 4 times and had quite a few children. Trivia question: What was Moe's nickname for Curly in their films? Answer: Porcupine!
