Hello all!This is my first (foist?) post on here. I was first introduced to the Three Stooges by my uncle. In fact, the first Third Stooge I was introduced to was Shemp (it was Gents in a Jam, A Snitch in Time, and Goof on the Roof). I watched the Stooges’ Slap Happy Hour on Spike (my favorite has always been Curly). I fell out of them for a while but then I got back into them (mostly because I find the shorts to be fascinating time capsules).I was looking at the Wikipedia article for Scrambled Brains and the article says that Nora was played by Babe London (born Jean Glover). Now, all of you guys have a better understanding of the history of the Three Stooges than I do. If this is her, the gapped teeth were a very convincing piece of makeup as there is a picture from 1964 where she has very well kept teeth.EDIT: I did not see this mentioned. So please forgive me if this sounds condescending. I hope I am not putting anyone down.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_London
Welcome Count Jerome! You watched the Slap Happy Hour, so you're probably about the same age as I am.You are entirely correct about Babe London in this short. While she was almost always exclusively used as the "big beautiful woman" (as our own metaldams once classified her among actresses), she was indeed heavily made up to look as she did in SCRAMBLED BRAINS. I do not know what they did exactly, but such tricks appear in movies all the way back to the 1910s.
Welcome to the Kingdom, Count! I was born in 1953 (yikes!), so does that make me an OG Stooges on TV fan? I clearly remember the first package with Curly Stooge shorts mixed in with Andy Clyde, Charley Chase, Vera Vague and others.
