See THE MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW 12/21/73, in this website's "TV Guest Appearances Filmography"; Mr. Lamparski appeared to promote this edition, and Moe Howard joined him as a surprise guest.
In the nostalgia-crazy 1970s, before the internet and home video, information on the actors and actresses from Late Show movies was scant, and sometimes non-existent. The general public only knew the supporting celebrities of television and film in terms of... "whatever happened to...?" Richard Lamparski filled that information void with a series of books, featuring a couple pages each on known, still-living celebrities who had left the public eye.
Relying on a staff of assistants and minimal editorial control, Lamparski's books were often filled with errors. But in their time, were welcomed by fans who had no other source of information on their favorite actors and actresses, and the books became bestsellers as a result.
This 4th volume featured an extremely brief tribute to The Three Stooges, and in this pre-Stroke of Luck era, Stooge fans ate it up.
A 1975 mass market paperback edition was published by Bantam Books.
