My Take
Ted Healy deserves far more credit than history has granted him. This Texas-born vaudevillian created the Three Stooges and largely engineered the slapstick grammar they made world-famous, yet his own name slipped into the shadow of the stars he helped launch. I am drawn to figures like him, the architects who design the blueprint while others take the spotlight. He shaped a comedic style that influenced generations and had a real stage and film career of his own before dying at just 41 in 1937. I think of him as the quiet craftsman behind a century of laughs.
