Ted Healy Facts
Was Irish-American.

When Shemp Howard left the act, Moe Howard wanted his little brother Jerome to take his place. However, Ted disliked Jerome and wouldn't hire him. Some sources say Moe threatened to quit unless he hired Jerome. Whetever the reason, Ted finally agreed to hire him on the condition that he shaved his head, and went by the name of Curly. Healy figured that Jerome wouldn't want to shave his head so he wouldn't have to take him into the act, but Jerome did indeed agree to the terms, and thus became Curly Howard, the most popular of all The Three Stooges.
