Larry Fine Wiki Biography

Louis Feinberg was born on 5 October 1902, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA, of part Russian-Jewish descent (father). Larry was an actor, comedian, boxer, and violinist, but best known professionally as Larry Fine, a part of the comedy act, The Three Stooges. All of his efforts have helped put his net worth to where it was prior to his passing in 1975.

How rich was Larry Fine? As of late-2016, sources estimate a net worth that was at $10 million, mostly earned through success with The Three Stooges, but he had a very extensive acting career, appearing in films, television shows, and stage productions. All of these achievements ensured the position of his wealth.

When Larry was a child, he mistook acid as a beverage and nearly drank it – his father would push the acid out of the way leading it to burn Larry’s forearm; later on, he would be given violin lessons to help strengthen the muscles that were damaged. He would become very skilled at the instrument, and his parents had plans to send him to a conservatory. However, World War I happened and their plans did not continue. During his teens, Larry would then take boxing lessons to continue to strengthen his arms. He won one professional fight and then retired after protests from his father.

Larry started to perform in vaudeville as a violinist. Later on, he would meet Shemp Howard and Ted Healy, then getting an invitation to become part of the Stooges. He appeared in “A Night in Spain” and later joined the other future stooges, along with Shemp and Moe Howard would then group together as a trio, touring around Europe. They appeared in various Venice shows before getting a film opportunity in “Soup to Nuts”. Eventually after a few changes and disputes with Shemp replaced by Curly Howard, the three made their debut at Cleveland’s RKO Palace Theatre in 1932.

The Three Stooges would become part of several features as well as 206 short films, and were also well known as Larry, Moe and Curly. Fine was known as the voice of reason between the stooges, and his hairstyle also became a trademark. Some of their well-known shorts include “Men in Black” and “Disorder in the Court”. In 1959, the Stooges would become even more popular thanks to television exposure, and Columbia Pictures would release many of their films which helped revitalize their career.

In 1965, the trio started the show “The New Three Stooges” which had a mix of animated and live segments. The show had good ratings, even though they were getting old for the slapstick comedy routine. Five years later, Larry would suffer a stroke which paralyzed the left side of his body, and he eventually retired to the Motion Picture Country House, but while there he continued to entertain a lot of the other patients.

For his personal life, it is known that Larry married Mabel Honey in 1926; the couple loved to party, and he had a gambling addiction such that his friends mentioned that he had difficulties saving money. Larry and his family was also known to live in hotels mainly due to Mabel’s dislike for housekeeping. Larry’s wife would pass away in 1967 due to a heart attack. In 1975, after suffering additional strokes, Fine also passed away.
