Have you got any favorites among the women who appear in the Three Stooges' shorts, or among the scenes with women?
Christine McIntyre (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=252), of course, was a great sport, who could engage in the rough-and-tumble as well as sing and do foreign accents. I think my favorite scene with her is her violent confrontation with the boys in Hugs and Mugs, in which she and Shemp take turns tearing up each other's suits, and then she and Larry take turns tearing out each other's hair.
I've always been partial to Dorothy Appleby (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=41) (thanks to the resources of this site for allowing me to discover her name), the rather testy little brunette whom Curly sometimes addresses as "Shorty."
I've always fancied the tall and handsome Jean Willes (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=389) on account of her looks, but I particularly admire her performance as a heartless golddigger in Gypped in the Penthouse (http://threestooges.net/episode.php?id=160), who gets her comeuppance at the end of the short when Shemp and Larry make cake mix on her head from the groceries that she is carrying. This is also notable as the short in which Shemp gets himself slammed clean through the works of a baby grand piano and in which Larry clobbers Moe.
Special mentions:
I think the most seductive woman in all the shorts is Barbara Slater (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=343), the preposterously gorgeous redhead with the silky voice who appeared for the first time as Curly's dancing partner in Three Smart Saps but most memorably as Lulu in Half-Wits' Holiday. I couldn't find a good photo of her on the Web so I've attached a still from the short. (Edited to add: Well, I tried to do so, and there is a link for it, but the link doesn't work, at least on my computer.)
Finally, I have a special place in my heart for the tall, stately-looking woman in Half-Wits' Holiday who scolds Moe and Larry as "You disgraceful vagabonds!" and then, after getting pieces of pie in the face from both of them in return, immediately goes into Stooge mode herself, exclaiming "So! You want to play ROUGH, do you? Well. . . !" as she goes for a pie to clobber them with—one of my favorite lines spoken by someone other than the Stooges.

I got a thing for taller women, so I too find Barbara Slater attractive. I also agree about Jean Willes, who was pretty stunning, and though she appeared in one short Rebel Randall of BOOBY DUPES was smoking, no doubt aided by her wardrobe.
That being said, if you take the total package of talent and looks and not just looks alone, the winner is Christine McIntyre, by far. I'm amazed she didn't make it further in Hollywood. My theory is by the time she started in Stooge shorts, she was already in her mid-30's, which would've been considered "old" by Hollywood starlet standards just breaking in, so she would've had to have made it big before then. I'm very thankful for her Stooge roles, and I understand she had a career in b-westerns as well, but I feel she should've been a big star in her own right.

Yeah - something goofy is going on there. I'm at the office right now, but I will look into it when I get home tonight.

Yes! Christine McIntyre wins, hands down. Another woman who could keep up well with the Stooges was Symona Boniface. She was a perfect foil for the boys. In fact, I've heard people compare her to Margaret Dumont. Symona Boniface was to the Stooges what Margaret Dumont was to the Marx Brothers. If the Stooges had starred in more features, Symona Boniface would have been a perfect leading lady like Margaret Dumont. Anyone else agree?

I take it that you are referring to the attachment to my post, and not to the photo of Barbara Slater that Metaldams posted. Something HOT going on there! Hubba hubba!

Yes, I ought to have mentioned her. She was consistently good. Pretty good with a pie, too. "But YOU started it!" [pie]

Symona Boniface was definitely the Margaret Dumont of The Three Stooges, I definitely agree with that.

Christine McIntyre is on top by a wide margin. Base the choice solely on sex appeal & others might have the edge, such as Barbara Slater, Jean Willes, Virginia Hunter, or Sylvia Lewis. However, in terms of what she brought to the table in overall quality of support to make the Stooges successful, I don’t see anyone else topping Christine.
As a young pup, when the shorts began on Chicago TV, I enjoyed the slapstick, but slapstick, alone, for 15 minutes, won’t make me watch again. With Christine’s considerable musical talent, ability to mix it up with the boys in the physical routines, & mere presence, she brought great depth, as did some of her talented male support counterparts.
Symona Boniface comes in as my second choice – a great addition to the cast, who also added depth in so many ways.
I realize some don’t like weak plots, or the over-reliance on physical & verbal routines. That’s subjective stuff for each viewer, & increased the need for depth. Shorts provided little time to develop meaningful plots or complex characters, & taxed writers & actors heavily. I didn’t watch the Stooges for Academy Award performances for best drama. For those reasons, the players in each short had to have comedy in them - then & there, or the short fell flat. Not every short was a gem, but without these two outstanding & talented women as mainstays, shorts would’ve been much weaker, & in my opinion, the comedy reign of the Stooges would’ve been shorter.

Great post. Now that I'm thinking more about Symona, I don't think it's so much a "second choice" between her and Christine, because they both brought something different to the table. Symona Boniface was The Three Stooges' Margaret Dumont, and Christine McIntyre was their Thelma Todd, though less pre-code and less tragic. A shame it took until the end of the Curly era to find Christine McIntyre, because until then the attractive female foils never stuck around for more than a few films.
You also bring up watching The Three Stooges for comedy and not expecting drama. Not that I'm an actor, but I hear comedy can be more difficult than drama, so the talents of Symona, Christine, and the other great players were certainly special, and because of unjust lack of recognition, underappreciated.

Jean Willes as a blonde. What a beautiful pair of eyes.

I planned to remove 'choice' before I posted the first time but spaced it. I meant to use 'favorite' to stay in line with Hugo's question about favorites. I agree the talents of many of the cast weren't always appreciated or used. I often wondered if the producers & writers would've been able to create a short around the outstanding combined vocal talents of Christine & Bud Jamison, much like they did for Christine, with 'Micro-Phonies', & Bud, with 'A Ducking They Did Go', had Bud lived longer after Christine's debut?
Shemp certainly benefited taking over from Curly where Christine was concerned. I got the impression there was a great friendship there that came out on screen.
I didn't intend to disparage either comedy or drama in the process, it's just that I didn't expect intentional drama with comedy shorts, so I wasn't disappointed, but always appreciated cast efforts to inject what little drama, accents, etc., they could, when the opportunity presented itself, as a way to showcase their talents.
I'm guessing the women caught less respect because of the times, but there seemed to be an awfully long parade of beautiful women in the shorts. Lucille Ball looked awfully good as a blond in 'Three Little Pigskins', & Lorna Gray, Ethelreda Leopold, Greta Thyssen, Sylvia Lewis, & Nita Bieber were no slouches either.
Great pix of Nurse Shapely!

I don't know her name, but my fave was the HUGE brunette that asked fireman Curly "Will you be my boyfreind?" Lord, was that Chick large!

I would like to put in a vote for Daphne Pollard from "Smoked Hams" and "His First Flame" what ever guff Shemp dished out to her, she returned it two fold. She was an excellent Stoogette.

Several of the obvious standouts have been named, but I've always liked Marjorie White from WOMAN HATERS. Given her young demise, she was a fascinating case of what if?
And though she wasn't in a short, SOUP TO NUTS' Frances McCoy ("Queenie") was great too.

One of the girls I always liked was Phylis Crane. I thought she did rather well in the early shorts (before they changed the opening title cards the first time). By the time of her last appearance, she played very well off of Curly (in "A Pain In The Pullman") and should have stayed on. Perhaps, they wanted more blondes.

Ethelreda Leopold was definitely attractive, and she always seems to show up as an extra in lots of non-Stooge films. Again, while not exclusively, I like the taller ones, so Ms. Leopold defintely qualifies. Still, Barbara Slater is the queen of stauesque beauties in Stooge shorts. She also played the flower shop girl in Chaplin's MONSIEUR VERDOUX.
I also have a thing for redheads, and have always regretted choosing metaldams as a moniker and not Octopus Grabus.

Definitely. I agree with you 100%.
McIntyre & Boniface differed in age & looks, but I always thought they were both very good actresses with great comic timing. They were both real assets in all of the shorts in which they appeared, & the Stooges were lucky to have them.
One of the all time best scenes in any of the shorts is McIntyre letting Shemp have it after she finds out he isn't Cousin Basil in BRIDELESS GROOM.

Sherry O'Neill played the girl in the magician's box who all the guys were whistling at and walking after with their hands behind their backs in Fiddlers' Three and Musty Muscatels -- uh, Musketeers. You would never think that was the same woman who played the cat's-eyeglasses-wearing, temperamental, PIA to Commander McHale in a McHale's Navy episode in 1962. Then again, Jean Willes was in two episodes of that show, looking much different from Miss Shapely and Miss Scudder.
But overall, Christine McIntyre, is my #1 favorite amongst the Stooges' women. "The niece is nice!"

Just so that it is not forgotten that this thread is about all memorable women in the Stooges' shorts, not just the beautiful ones, I am posting a screen shot to remind us of a notable minor player: Blanche Payson (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=24) as the very large woman with whom Curly dances in Hoi Polloi. She repeatedly bounces her belly against his, knocking him to the floor, from which he bounces back up on the sofa spring that is stuck into his behind. After one of his spills pulls her down with him, she takes offense and slaps him in the face. He slaps her back, she slaps him back, and so on for another round, whereupon they both shrug and go back to dancing. The scene has always seemed to me a model for the resolution of angry disputes within intimate relationships. :D
From her page on this site, I discover that she is also the woman who chases after the Stooges in Slippery Silks and brings them down with a flying tackle.

Not quite the numbers us guys are used to seeing on those centerfolds in college (well, the 36 would usually be moved the left or right), but as long as she was proud of it...and I imagine she would be if she posed publicly in her under garments.

I am really enjoying this thread, even though I am a chick!
Any good looking woman from back then in Hollywood posed for cheesecake, and I always have loved that type of photography. I did some modeling back when I was younger, and I always talk to the Stooge female co-stars about their modeling whenever I get the chance.
Cheesecake is so charming compared to the in-your-face pornography (no pun intended) that is present today.
I thank the women (if I meet them through the fan club) for posing, especially if they have posed topless waaay back when, and they are frank and open about their experiences and reasons for doing so. It was still kind of a no-no to do 50 or more years ago.

Sylvia did a helluva dance for Shemp in that devil costume in 'Bedlam in Paradise'. Had me convinced.
OK, how about someone between Babe London & Sylvia Lewis - Beatrice Blinn? She was in the suporting cast more than either Babe or Sylvia, & brought a more demure beauty to the shorts. She seemed a perfect fit for the part of Mimi in 'False Alarms', even with the prop glasses, & especially when she played the back-seat, peek-a-boo scene with Curly after Moe & Larry arrive in the captain's new car. She also added that extra touch of class & beauty in other shorts.

I've been watching the early shorts, and I noticed that the cute, slightly silly-looking brunette whom I remembered as Moe's dancing partner in Hoi Polloi ("When I gaze into your burning eyes, I know that you have studied the mystic powers of Rama") turns up in several other shorts, for instance as the painter's model in a tutu in Pop Goes the Easel and one of the cake-making daughters of the Confederate general in Uncivil Warriors. The actress was Phyllis Crane (http://threestooges.net/cast.php?id=122). Another good sport, for taking spills on the dance floor and standing on her head.

Larry took a shine to Phyllis in 'Pop Goes the Easel'. Just watch his expression as she walks away from the boys in her tutu. She was a great addition to the cast.
Although only appearing in 'Three Little Pigskins', with Phyllis, I also thought Gertie Green would have made a great addition to the cast for the long haul. She seemed to have that infectious giggly laughter that made you laugh along with her. Her dialog exchange & tongue routine with Moe was funny.

Whether by accident or not, I found casting Lucille Ball, Phyllis Crane & Gertie Green in TLP to be a great combo, because they all seemed to enjoy what they were doing, & it gave the short extra energy. It's a shame Lucille Ball & Gertie Green didn't return for many more Stooge shorts, but that left openings for many others to step in.
