Blondie and The Bowery Boys as well... although Huntz Hall got beat up by Leo Gorcey a lot.
@rinkydinkydoink I read a book about Gorcey written by his son. It's fascinating what an out of control maniac Gorcey was.
@robingoodfellow I read that book, too. Leo Sr. was an alcoholic, had five wives…
@robingoodfellow @bijouxbroussard

Oh man... :(
I heard he was a smart (conniving, actually) businessman, too.

Here he is in one of his last - and minor - roles in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

@rinkydinkydoink I like that movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. That's where I first met Jonathon Winters
@HumanEarth

Great great movie - he was as funny as it gets. When the whole group is deciding how to split up the loot - at the first of the movie when they were parked off to the side of the road - and he calls Ethel Merman "the old bat" I laughed my head off (I still do every time I watch it which is fairly often) because it was perfect comedic timing!
@rinkydinkydoinkMad Mad World was Winter's first job after spending the better part of a year in a psychiatric hospital following a severe mental breakdown and a bi polar diagnosis. He was honest with the producer and director and told them he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't flip out at some point. They wanted him anyway, and he's a major highlight of that movie. But the cast was nervous to be working with him.
I heard this in an interview with a Mickey Rooney biographer.
@robingoodfellow

This background stuff is always interesting.

Dick Shawn was known for putting everything he had into a performance. In fact, that's the way he died... on stage performing. The audience thought his death throes were part of the act.
@rinkydinkydoink now that I didn't know. Whoa!
He was great in that movie too.

@rinkydinkydoink Maybe The Three Stooges?
Ever see Charlie Chaplin's movie The Kid? One of his wives was 12 yrs old when she was in that movie... she played a fairy in a dream sequence. This from "Charlie Chaplin: The Life Story" - -

Chaplin divorced wife Lita Grey in 1927 in acrimonious proceedings. He paid her a record settlement of $825,000, and the legal costs of the divorce came to nearly $1 million. One Chaplin biographer said their marriage served as inspiration for the novel Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov, about a man's obsession with a 12-year-old girl.
@craig7

Harmless fun! Even though Larry Fine's face must've been one big callus... LOL

@rinkydinkydoink Yes,when The Three Stooges came to TV here in Australia when I was about 12,boys of my age used to love watching three grown men knocking each other around and creating havoc everywhere!
