Moe Howard, born Moses Horwitz on June 19, 1897, is best known as the bully in The Three Stooges. He was the real-life brother of Curly and Shemp. His trademarks were the bowl haircut and the omnipresent scowl.
Although he was a bully on screen, he was a gentle person in life and very protective of his brother Curly. Moe was the business-minded one of the group. He began saving his money while acting realizing that his career might not last forever and died a wealthy man. Curly and Larry Fine had a propensity of spending their money, so Moe convinced them to give him part of their paycheck and he would invest it for them. Although they weren't as wealthy as Moe, they came out much better than if they hadn't.
He passed away of lung cancer in 1975.
