Moe Howard’s Son Paul Dies at 91

Paul Howard, the only son of Three Stooges performer Moe Howard, passed away in Manhattan in the first days of November. He was 91. A representative for C3 Entertainment, which owns the Stooges brand, confirmed his death; no cause was given.

Howard regularly met fans at events and conventions, where he shared recollections of his father and the comedy troupe. In 2015, he hosted the nine-part docuseries Hey Moe, Hey Dad!, which brought together archival material, family stories and interviews with relatives of the Stooges. Celebrity fans interviewed for the series included Whoopi Goldberg, Billy West and Leonard Maltin.

Howard was born on July 8, 1935, while Moe was performing in Boston with Larry Fine and Curly Howard. His sister later recounted that their mother sent Moe a telegram announcing the birth. Days afterward, Moe was in a car crash while traveling to collect his wife and newborn son from the hospital. The accident also led to an emergency delivery for his pregnant sister-in-law, who was riding in the car.

Moe and Larry died in 1975, while brothers Shemp and Curly died in 1955 and 1952. Paul Howard is survived by his wife, Joanne, and daughter, Jennifer.
