Description
Ted Healy: A Life of Show Business and Mystery Ted Healy's life was marked by rapid rise to success in show business, from humble beginnings in vaudeville to stardom on Broadway and the silver screen. As the "father" of The Three Stooges act, he played a pivotal role in cultivating the talents of Shemp, Moe, Larry, and Curly. Healy's biography serves as a backdrop to the rise of The Three Stooges, but it also raises questions about his own life and death. Four days after giving birth to his only child in 1937, Healy died at age 41, sparking one of Hollywood's most notorious celebrity death scandals. Author Bill Cassara explores all the possibilities behind Healy's untimely passing.
