Oh, that's great news. So, there's still one actor alive who worked with the boys during the Curly era. Fantastic. How old is he now, and is he available for a fan club meeting?
BeAStooge:
Frank Reighter has learned that supporting actress Rebel Randall died July 22, 2010 in Riverside County, CA.
He'll have additional details in a future Three Stooges Journal obit and/or bio.
From Frank...
--- Quote ---I have been as in-touch as anyone with Rebel Randall over the years. In the last few years she has been under the care of Riverside County California (For various reasons I'll probably cover in a future Journal obit or article).
A distant relative of hers, John Thompson, of Bull Shoals, Arkansas, called me tonight, saying someone had told him that Rebel was deceased, and could I confirm it? My search found nothing for Rebel Randall, but a further search under her birth name, Alaine C. Brandes, found her listed in the Social Security Death Index as being born Jan. 22, 1922 (Cook County [Chicago], Illinois), and dying in Riverside County, California July 22, 2010. Her Social Security number was issued in Illinois before 1951.
She was a sweet lady who always remembered Phyllis' name when we talked on the telephone, but always had some "Conspiracy Theory" that she was a part of. She hated going to Court, which caused her to have all her assets "Frozen" by the Court, and thereby, preventing the State of California from treating her as an
indigent, and denying her financial assistance.
I will miss all those stories, and her friendship.

Just would like to stick in my 2 cents if you do not mind. One glad to hear that one the Andrews Sisters is alive, I grew up with their music and am still a fan of their music. The Andrews Sisters also apperared in three more Shemp Solo Features, not mentioned: "How's About It?, "Moonlight and Cactus," and "Private Buckaroo," {Along here with "Harry James And His Music Makers"}.
Thank-you
