Larry Fine’s Granddaughter Recalls Growing Up With One Of ‘Three Stooges’

Larry Fine shot to fame as one of the “Three Stooges,” which he became a part of in the mid-20s. His granddaughter, Kris Cutler recalled seeing Larry every Friday as a young girl and he was caring as he would always take her shopping and make her good hamburgers.

Although Larry had a big heart and was always ready to make everyone around him happy, he battled gambling addictions which almost made him bankrupt. The actor died at 72 in 1975, however, he will always be remembered by fans as the Stooge who gave his best to entertain them even in his final years.

Larry’s great-grandson Kurt Lamond also narrated how he met his wife, Mabel. The late actor met his wife who was a dancer and singer on the vaudeville circuit in 1922. Larry was married to her until she died in 1967 when she had a sudden heart failure.

The Philadelphia-born act would often shower his wife with candy and gifts, which Kris would join him to shop. Family meant everything to Larry, however, he had to experience the most pain because of them too as he lost his only son in a car crash a few years before his wife passed too.

The ‘Three Stooges’ were like family to Larry Fine

Speaking of family time, Larry had close-knit moments off-set with his fellow acts, Mo Howard and Shemp Howard. Kurt recalled how Mo always treated them to his barbecue specials while the rest of the stooges, “had dinners together once a week.”

Being one with a sense of humor, there was no dull moment with Larry. He once made a chaotic Thanksgiving dinner something to laugh about after disagreeing over the turkey with Mabel. Kris spoke fondly about their baseball games and eat-outs together, as well as Larry’s perspective of family as “the most important thing.”
