Ted Healy

Before they were in movies, The Three Stooges were known in vaudeville as "Ted Healy and his Stooges." Ted died in a bar fight on the Sunset Strip while celebrating the birth of his son, John Jacob Healy. He was drinking at the Trocadero when he got into the fatal brawl. Persistent rumors are that Wallace Beery and Eddie Mannix were more than a little 'involved.'
