REMEMBERING MOE HOWARD

Who died this date in 1975---Moses Harry Horwitz (June 19, 1897 – May 4, 1975), known professionally as Moe Howard, was an American actor and comedian best known as the de facto leader of the Three Stooges, the farce comedy team who starred in motion pictures and television for four decades. That group originally started out as Ted Healy and His Stooges, an act that toured the vaudeville circuit.

Moe's distinctive hairstyle came about when he was a boy and cut off his curls with a pair of scissors, producing a ragged shape approximating a bowl cut (CLICK ON THE PHOTO).

For those who don't know, Scott was a long time resident of the village, a historian, and a no-nonsense kind of guy who spoke his mind on everything from the ill-fated acquisition of the Gouveia property to Harmon re-zoning.  We didn't always agree but his analysis of local issues was always cogent and well-researched. He died in 2018....And now....

REMEMBERING SUZY PARKER

Who died this date in 2003.....

A fab old post from our friends at European Film Star Postcards:

American model and actress Suzy Parker (1932–2003) was known in the 1950s as the most photographed woman in the world and is now considered as the very first Supermodel. The red-headed beauty defined glamour in the 1950s and in 1956, at the height of her modelling career, became the first model to earn $100,000 per year. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Parker also became the glamorous star of several Hollywood productions. READ AND SEE MORE HERE.
