The last surviving member (d. 2004) of Ted Healy's stooges, Paul "Mousie" Garner came close, but no cigar, to becoming one of The Three Stooges... first in 1949 for the Stooges' aborted ABC television project, and again in 1958, when he was considered to fill the third Stooge slot which eventually went to Joe DeRita.
Mousie first became a Healy stooge in 1930 after Moe, Larry & Shemp first went solo. His career encompassed vaudeville, the USO, radio, records, television and film. Never a star name, but always a professional, and always entertaining.
Juvenile actor... Healy stooge... Spike Jones musician/comic... comedic character actor on THE MUNSTERS and SURFSIDE 6... Mousie's story of a lifetime spent in the entertainment business is found in this highly recommended book.
