Little is known about the comedian himself, a boyhood friend of Moe Howard who went on to achieve considerable success on stage and screen. Bill Cassara, a retired police Internal Affairs sergeant, has employed his investigative skills and keen interest in movie comedy to research biographies of Edgar Kennedy and second-banana Vernon Dent. Now he turns his attention to Healy and comes up with “the goods.” He even devotes an entire chapter to the rumors and lore surrounding his mysterious death in 1937. Comedy buffs will welcome this thorough biography, filled with rare photos and newspaper clippings, along with a wonderful new drawing of Healy by Drew Friedman.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e-- Leonard Maltin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eNobody's Stooge\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-have for Three Stooges fans, people who love MGM films of the ‘30s, and movie scholars who want to learn more about one of the most respected entertainers of his era.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e-- inthebalcony.com\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\"Film biographies must be well-written and about interesting people. \u003cem\u003eNobody’s Stooge: Ted Healy\u003c\/em\u003e is both.
