MOE HOWARD AND HIS BROTHER CURLY BOTH GOT MARRIED ON THIS DAY- JUNE 7TH. MOE MARRIED HELEN SCHONBERGER, A COUSIN OF FAMED MAGICIAN HARRY HOUDINI, ON THIS DAY- JUNE 7, 1925. CURLY MARRIED ELAINE ACKERMAN ON THIS SAME DAY (PROBABLY BECAUSE HE WANTED THE SAME WEDDING DAY AS MOE)- JUNE 7, 1937. MOE AND HELEN WERE DEEPLY IN LOVE. MOE, DESPITE HIS FAMOUS IRASCIBLE SCREEN CHARACTER, WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL, SENSITIVE MAN IN REAL LIFE. HE LOVED SURPRISING HELEN WITH PRESENTS AND WROTE HER COUNTLESS ROMANTIC POEMS. ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY, HELEN PICKED UP THE PHONE. ON THE OTHER END WAS MOE. HE SAID, DO YOU HELEN, TAKE MOE TO BE YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND? AND RE-CREATED THEIR ENTIRE WEDDING CEREMONY FOR HER. HE EVEN SANG OH PROMISE ME. MOE AND HELEN WERE HAPPILY MARRIED JUST SHY OF 50 YEARS. ELAINE WAS CURLYS SECOND OF FOUR WIVES. CURLY WAS A BIT OF A LADIES MAN, OR HE LOVED THE LADIES MAY BE A MORE APT STATEMENT. HE FOUND A WOMAN WHO REALLY LOVED HIM IN VALERIE NEWMAN, HIS 4TH AND FINAL WIFE. THEY MARRIED IN 1947. VALERIE TOOK CARE OF AND NURSED CURLY THROUGH HIS FINAL TRAGIC STROKES, WHEN HE WAS A VERY SICK MAN. SHE STAYED BY HIS SIDE AND EVEN BATHED HIM IN HIS FINAL DAYS. CURLY AND VALERIE WERE MARRIED UNTIL CURLYS DEATH IN 1952, 4 AND A HALF YEARS TOGETHER.
