Shemp! : the biography of the Three Stooges' Shemp Howard, the face of film comedy / Burt Kearns ; foreword by Drew Friedman.
"SHEMP! is the first book to challenge the "official" version of Three Stooges history that's been repeated for decades, shattering myths as it uncovers the surprising and often unsettling facts behind the man's unlikely story: how the child of Jewish immigrants racked with severe anxiety and a supposed fear of automobiles, dogs, and water could conquer vaudeville, Broadway, and Hollywood. And it's more than a biography: author Burt Kearns digs into the shorts and feature films he did on his own-more thana hundred of them-and, through interviews with fans, family members, scholars, experts, filmmakers, and celebrities, examines the "cult of Shemp" that thrives today"-- Provided by publisher.
