Curly Cameos
In Hold That Lion! Curly made an appearance as a sleeping train passenger. His hair was regrown by this time. This was the only movie that included all three of the Howard brothers and Larry Fine in the same scene. Curly also did another cameo appearance in 1949, but that part was cut at the end.
Unhappy Union
Back in the early 1940s, Moe was concerned about Curly’s health that was getting worse and his heavy drinking. Moe encouraged him to marry a woman named Marion Buxbaum since he thought it would help Curly change his hard-living ways. However, the marriage turned out to be a disaster, with Curly squandering a fortune on Marion. The two got divorced just months later.
