As part of their contract at the beginning of their career, “The Three Stooges” were required to divide a weekly $1,000 check between the three of them. Obviously, $1,000 was worth significantly more back then than it is now. That is, nevertheless, a small sum of money, especially when adjusted for inflation, for persons who have proven themselves to be icons! As a result of the success of their Academy Award-nominated picture Men In Black, their remuneration was upped to $7,500 per week, which they were required to divide among themselves.

A Romantic At Heart

Helen Schonberger described Moe as a lifelong lover. A strange person on the other end of the phone asked me if I would accept Moe Horwitz as my lawfully wedded spouse, and I said yes. It then went on to execute the complete wedding ceremony, with me on one end of the aisle and Moe (the mystery voice) on the other… He performed our wedding song, “Oh Promise Me,” at the conclusion of the ceremony in a wonderful baritone voice,” the couple said.
