Born Schmuel Horvitz in 1895 to Lithuanian Jewish immigrants, comic and character actor Shemp Howard was the elder brother of Three Stooges performers Moe and Curly (nonrelative Larry Fine was the third). But to most, he is known as the 'fourth wheel' Stooge who replaced his popular brother Curly in 1946. Kearns argues--and argues, and argues--that despite being overshadowed by his brothers, Shemp was the Stooge's 'original star' who helped give birth to the comedy trio. As youths, both Shemp and his younger brother Moe demonstrated an aptitude for comedy, though it was Moe who, at age 11, struck out first into the world of acting. By 1910, they were a duo in a blackface act; when they managed to land gigs with both the RKO and Loew vaudeville circuits, they evaded the ban on double-booking by doing the same act in whiteface for Loew. Invited onstage at a performance by Moe and fellow comedian Ted Healy in 1923, Shemp incited a 'roughhouse ruckus,' and from then on, the act was known as 'Ted Healy and His Stooges.' Shemp, Moe, and comedian Larry Fine eventually launched their own vaudeville act in 1930. They rejoined their old boss in 1932, but Shemp quit less than two weeks later after a financial dispute with Healy, to be replaced by Curly. Shemp began a solo acting career at Vitaphone studios in Brooklyn. In the 1940s, he landed significant character actor roles at major Hollywood studios and played alongside screen legends like Marlene Dietrich and John Wayne. Through extensive research that includes interviews with film experts, family members, and fellow celebrities, Kearns strives... to demonstrate that 'underrated, underappreciated' Shemp Howard was a 'comedic superlative' who deserves a place on the 'Mount Rushmore of comedy' and a gifted character actor who was his own man before he was a Stooge. An illuminating... reworking of the Stooges mythology. -- Kirkus Reviews "This is the only book you will ever need to read about anything. Burn all the other books -- there is ONLY Shemp!" -- Patton Oswalt "SHEMP! examines every question about the Three Stooges that was in the recesses of my mind, through the character I believe made them a unit. SHEMP! realizes who Shemp was: the actor, the Stooge, and the man -- and why it's cool to love him. A fascinating and fun book. And it's not really long, which makes it even better!" -- Richard Kind Shemp! A word that says it all! And this book says everything else! I honestly cannot imagine a better written or more thorough chronicling of the life and times of Shemp, in all his glory, than this one. If you must read one book about Shemp, make it SHEMP! by Burt Kearns. What are you waiting for? Get started! -- Merrill Markoe, humorist, author, and Emmy-winning televison writer (The David Letterman Show) "Shemp Howard triggers strong emotions among the Stooge fans who have been debating his merits for a generation. And now Burt Kearns presents what we all knew was inevitable: A primer for the teaching of Critical Shemp Theory." -- Kliph Nesteroff, Author of The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels, and the History of American Comedy

Synopsis
Shemp Howard not only had one of the most distinctive faces of the twentieth century, but was also one of its most accomplished, influential comic actors and showbiz personalities. Along with his brother Moe and comedy violinist Larry Fine, Shemp was an original member of the comedy team that became known as the Three Stooges before he quit and ......, Shemp Howard not only had one of the most distinctive faces of the twentieth century, but was also one of its most accomplished, influential comic actors and showbiz personalities. Along with his brother Moe and comedy violinist Larry Fine, Shemp was an original member of the comedy team that became known as the Three Stooges before he quit and set off on his own in 1932. SHEMP! shows how he made an even greater mark in a successful and until now largely unexplored career in more than a hundred movie shorts and features. He appeared in comedies, dramas, mysteries, Westerns, and musicals alongside the biggest stars of the Golden Age, including W.C. Fields, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, William Powell, Lon Chaney, Jr., Myrna Loy, and the team of Abbott & Costello. Author Burt Kearns challenges the "official" version of Three Stooges history that's been repeated for decades, shattering myths while uncovering the surprising and often troubling facts behind the man's unlikely story: how the child of Jewish immigrants, supposedly racked by debilitating phobias, could conquer show business; the behind-the-scenes machinations that pushed him to return to the team; and the circumstances surrounding his untimely death. Through interviews with fans, family members, experts, filmmakers, and celebrities, SHEMP! unearths treasures in Shemp's solo work, examines the "cult of Shemp" that thrives today, and confirms Shemp Howard's deserved place in cinematic history., The definitive biography of the great Shemp Howard, an original member of the Three Stooges, and one of Hollywood's most influential actors that Library Journal calls "a complete portrait of a talented character actor," Booklist praises as "fascinating," Kirkus Reviews describes as an "illuminating... reworking of the Stooges mythology" and Patton Oswalt praises as "the only book you will ever need to read about anything.

- 6***5 (70)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufThe item in itself is great. I do think though seller should use a parcel dedicated service and not USPS. Their tracking is garbage as is delivery time. If someone is paying the freight anyway for them use a better service. The cost is literally the same if not cheaper. Now the seller cannot control weather delays but it sat for weeks and when I contacted them; I got a screen shot of USPS. I knew that already.UNIVERSAL MONSTER-KENNER UNIVERSAL STUDIOS COLLECTORS-FRANKENSTEIN-WOLFMAN-MUMMY (Nr. 405442368753)
