Larry Fine (actor)

The Three Stooges have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their contributions to Motion Pictures, at 1560 Vine St. In 2000 he co-starred in the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Larry Fine died from a cerebral haemorrhage in Woodland Hills, California, and was interred in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California. He has also directed movies Wanda Nevada and Idaho Transfer. The advent of television in the 1950s brought them to a new audience and revitalised their careers. He has appeared in such movies as Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974), Race With The Devil and 92 In the Shade (both 1975) The Cannonball Run (1981),Najda (1997), and Ulee's Gold (1997), for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Fine consistently played the straight man, and provided the voice of reason between the extreme characterisations of Moe and Curly. Fonda's career has not been particularly fruitful in the ensuing years.

From 1933 "The Three Stooges" made more than 200 short films, and several feature films, with their most prolific period featuring the characters of Larry, Moe and Curly. He co-wrote the film with Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern, and the trio was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Based on Material Not Previously Published or Produced. The Stooges left Healy for good in 1934. It was in 1969 that Fonda made the cult movie for which he is still known, Easy Rider. The Stooges' career with Healy was marked by disputes over pay, movie contracts, and Healy's drinking. This experience shows in Fonda's 1967 film The Trip, which is about taking LSD. Shemp left soon after to attempt a solo career and was in turn replaced by another brother, Curly Howard. John Lennon wrote the song "She Said She Said" about Fonda, who told him "I know what it's like to be dead" following an LSD trip.

Howard and his brother Shemp had been working as audience stooges for Healy. It was at this point that he began to experiment with hallucinogenic drugs. Born Louis Feinberg in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Fine performed in vaudeville as a violinist, until he met Moe Howard and Ted Healy in 1925. His first serious role was in the 1966 motorcycle film The Wild Angels (nowadays perhaps best known for its dialogue sampled by the Primal Scream recording Loaded). Larry Fine (October 5, 1902 - January 24, 1975) was a US film comedian, and member of the comedy act, The Three Stooges. Instead, he appeared in such teen fare as Tammy and the Bachelor. Kennedy in PT 109, but didn't get the role.

Fonda tried out for the part of the young John F. Soon he was back in New York, then went to Hollywood to make movies. He attended the University of Omaha and joined the Omaha Community Playhouse, where many famous actors (including his father and Marlon Brando) got their starts. Peter Fonda studied acting in Omaha, Nebraska, his father's home town.

His mother, Frances Ford Seymour, committed suicide in 1950 when Peter was 11 years old. Born in New York City, he is the son of actor Henry Fonda, the brother of actress Jane Fonda and the father of actress Bridget Fonda. Peter Henry Fonda (born February 23, 1939) is an American actor.
