Curly’s Walk
Curly Howard was known for walking with a limp, which was one of the things that people remembered about him. Unfortunately, it wasn’t something he learned on his own while attending acting school. During the course of cleaning his firearm, he unintentionally shot himself in the left ankle. He was just 12 years old at the time. Because he refused to get surgery, he was forced to walk with a limp for the rest of his life. His on-screen gait was choreographed to conceal his ailment.

Larry Fine’s Violin
In terms of musical instruments, the violin was Larry Fine’s preferred choice. Unfortunately, it wasn’t something that he chose to get involved in on his own initiative. When he was younger, he would reach for a bottle of what he considered to be a pleasant beverage. In actuality, it was a bottle of acid that was being held. When his father knocked the bottle out of his hand, the acid splattered on his arm and dropped on him. He decided to take violin lessons in order to build up his muscle power and stamina.
