May she Rest In Peace.  Condolences to her family. 

Are there any adult actors from the Curly era left?

One of our last living links to Stoogedom of days and years past. We should all be so lucky to live to 106.

R. I. P.

I was wondering that myself, metaldams. As far as I know, Joyce Gardner ("Jimmy" in SOCK-A-BYE BABY) and Gloria Patrice (RHYTHM AND WEEP) are still with us.

Off the top of my head, the only confirmed still living players from the Curly era are Betty Phares, Joyce Gardner, Joan Howard Maurer and Gloria Patrice.

I don't think it was ever reported here but Lola Cogan (Booby Dupes) passed away in August 2019 at age 97: https://www.shannonfamilymortuary.com/notices/Lola-Cole

And Shemp era player Kathleen O'Malley died in February 2019: http://westernboothill.blogspot.com/2019/06/rip-kathleen-omalley.html

So as far as we know, the only adult actresses left from the Curly era are one lady a piece from the two dancing trios.  Wow.

R.I.P. to Misses Cogan and O’Malley as well.  I really liked the latter in her one role, she was good in HUGS AND MUGS.  Love that short.
