He was also one of Hollywood’s most influential comic actors. An original member of the Three Stooges, Shemp, along with his brother Moe and vaudeville violinist Larry Fine, perfected a brand of raucous, lowbrow, slapstick comedy that had audiences rolling in the aisles of vaudeville houses, Broadway theatres, and movie palaces, and left an indelible imprint on the face of popular entertainment. Then he walked away... and the </span><i><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">new </span></i><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Three Stooges – Moe, Larry, and brother Curly – made history.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.35pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-small;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">But Shemp didn’t disappear. He made Hollywood history on his own, in a successful and -- until now –- unexplored career in more than a hundred movie shorts and features. He appeared in comedies, dramas, mysteries, Westerns, and musicals -- alongside the biggest stars of the Golden Age, including W.C.

(As Tierney himself put it in a late-life interview, “I threw away about seven careers through drink”).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;">Tierney may be best known for his first major role, as the title character in the crime biopic “Dillinger” (1945), which made him an overnight star. The film was one of the earliest smash successes of an independent studio; with a budget of just $65,000, it took in $2.5 million on its initial box office run (and has been a cult classic since). Tierney’s face was suddenly on a billboard above Sunset Boulevard, and the star-making machinery was in full thrust.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_66nlAK7w_Tfg7F5RNyU1CPQKSUA-V_cYPv2xL-2GNyhnLQIarPtUydqNunV278vnyQAx2y_N0YzPgqTmOk012u_79ql9DAlPFmBm9UbFRJ5yUcNCGfjDObTxclyM-VcA2wjhA71n6ew46sbVxUcjPa--zYlDdFSeEdbEBsGZKxIWL_x44m60WrDZ/s2700/Kearns%20LAWRENCE%20TIERNEY%20final%20cvr%20for%20publ.jpg" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="1800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_66nlAK7w_Tfg7F5RNyU1CPQKSUA-V_cYPv2xL-2GNyhnLQIarPtUydqNunV278vnyQAx2y_N0YzPgqTmOk012u_79ql9DAlPFmBm9UbFRJ5yUcNCGfjDObTxclyM-VcA2wjhA71n6ew46sbVxUcjPa--zYlDdFSeEdbEBsGZKxIWL_x44m60WrDZ/w266-h400/Kearns%20LAWRENCE%20TIERNEY%20final%20cvr%20for%20publ.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;">Meanwhile, the new star was arrested three times for public drunkenness, and jailed for 10 days on the third charge – all within weeks of the film’s release. Still, he’d made such a striking, hulking, menacing impression that he was then cast in other, similar roles – “The Devil Thumbs a Ride,” “Bodyguard,” “The Hoodlum,” “San Quentin” and as Jesse James in “Badman’s Territory” – with equally jarring reactions. Critics didn’t know what to make of him, partly because he was totally untrained as an actor and played every role on gut instinct.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;">Unfortunately, off the set, Tierney continued to play the same character. He was arrested 11 times in the first two years after “Dillinger” and then repeatedly for the rest of his surprisingly long life (he lived until 2002, making it to age 82). Barely out of the gate as an actor, he was already being lumped in with Hollywood “bad boys” like Robert Mitchum, Robert Walker and Errol Flynn. Unlike these other actors, however, he became an outcast and eventually an exile, living for many years in France and working odd jobs.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi6EEIazH34cQpe98Hotj2AJkujxx1UaG75D_4JJIYprIYzxdnaOqCxIy_Iv3SFFxv4uHB-LvcIP3bNumwz8K8_FriBEfPGK8j0U-axOWSLhAFtxpoesGEFWB1hW68Ak4LM3CEF8yxE5tYfbIqRi_7cFF0LiUUM9YqZFVJkl5F9GB6rW48k0ko4SXp/s1402/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-01%20at%209.12.01%20AM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1402" data-original-width="1034" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi6EEIazH34cQpe98Hotj2AJkujxx1UaG75D_4JJIYprIYzxdnaOqCxIy_Iv3SFFxv4uHB-LvcIP3bNumwz8K8_FriBEfPGK8j0U-axOWSLhAFtxpoesGEFWB1hW68Ak4LM3CEF8yxE5tYfbIqRi_7cFF0LiUUM9YqZFVJkl5F9GB6rW48k0ko4SXp/w295-h400/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-01%20at%209.12.01%20AM.png" width="295" /></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt;">Actor Lawrence Tierney stands by his Hansom Cab horse after driving a party </span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt;">to a theater in his rig, </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt;">In New York, Oct. 8, 1974.

The Stamford native and Fairfield University alum has lived in Los Angeles for many years, having made his name as a writer, producer and director for tabloid TV programs (and authored one of the funniest memoirs about that world, called “Tabloid Baby”). Kearns has a rollicking good time telling Tierney’s tale, bringing his deep knowledge of film history and the film industry, as well as his nose for salacious detail, to this meaty subject.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;">After his early troubles, Tierney may no longer have been box-office boffo but he sure was gold to the gossip columnists of the 1940s and 1950s. As Kearns tells it, Tierney’s life can be compared to a rollercoaster, with a few ups and downs at the start, a steep climb in the late 1940s and then all downhill after that. Because of his alcoholism and lack of impulse control, he spent the last decades of his career as, at best, a supporting actor in feature films with occasional forays into stage productions (including an ill-fated stab at Stanley Kowalski in “A Streetcar Named Desire”) and bit parts on TV (including as Elaine’s father in an episode of “Seinfeld,” the finale of “Hill Street Blues” and a voiceover in “The Simpsons”).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;">It would be nice to report that, despite his chronic legal and bottle troubles, Tierney was a colorful and well-loved man, but it’s simply not true, as hard as the fan in Kearns tries to burnish his reputation. This is one of those odd biographies where the writing is far better than the subject, who really comes off as an entitled sociopath (which could probably be said for about 75% of Hollywood). The repetitive nature of Tierney’s life is ultimately just sad. There’s never a final redemption, even as you keep hoping there will be.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b; font-size: 11.5pt;">Still, Kearns carries a reader along to Tierney’s late-career resurgence, when some of the best anecdotes in this biography occur. The description of filming the “Seinfeld” episode is alone worth the price of the book (“You know, that Seinfield, I don’t think he’s funny. I’ve known every comic from Jack Benny, you name it. This guy is not funny.”). But the real icing on the cake is the whole “Reservoir Dogs” episode. I refuse to spoil it here by giving away any of the details. Read it and weep (with laughter). Suffice it to say that Tarantino got way more than he bargained for in Lawrence Tierney.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><span face="-apple-system-font, serif" style="color: #1b1b1b;

Burt, known for his book <a href="http://www.nypress.com/news/bad-boy-tv-CENP1019991116311169999" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank"><i>Tabloid Baby</i></a> until the recent publication of <a href="http://theshowwontgoon.com/" target="_blank"><i>The Show Won’t Go On</i></a>, his and Jeff Abraham's recent bestseller, tells hosts <a href="http://sashafeiler.com/" target="_blank">Sasha Feiler</a> and <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/jay-hunter/pod-ween-satan" target="_blank">Jay Hunter</a> the very personal reasons behind the axe he continues to grind against..<i>.

This duo has managed to take a depressing subject on the surface and turn it into a bizarre, yet engrossing catalogue of more than 300 years of final curtain calls ranging from heart attacks to onstage mishaps, which befell upon a variety of unsuspecting performers, whether they were comedian Dick Shawn, British comedian/magician Tommy Cooper, or 1960s entertainment curiosity Tiny Tim.</i><br /><br />The Times is only one publication that rated the book from <a href="https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/show-won-t-go-on--the-products-9781641602174.php" target="_blank">Chicago Review Press</a> as one of the best of 2019.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sadly, the accolades came days before another performer passed away onstage. Americana singer-songwriter <a href="https://davidolney.com/home" target="_blank">David Olney</a> paused midsong at the 30A Songwriters Festival in S. Walton Florida. He said, “I’m sorry,” and closed his eyes. Forever.</span><br />

<br />
<i>“Though their book charts moments of human tragedy, the treatment does not feel cheap or exploitative.

All of these performers may have fallen, but their beats will go on, thanks to Abraham and Kearns."</i><br />

But you may not have heard the tragic tales of Professor Adam Epstein, Michael Hatal, Edvin Lindberg, or Professor Otto Blumenfeld.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Penn Jillette provides a brief respite from the grisly goings-on by discussing Penn and Teller’s philosophy of the Bullet Catch. They adhere to Houdini’s policy of never doing anything more dangerous than sitting in his living room. The duo believe that it’s immoral to perform any effect that might physically harm them. Furthermore, they contend that anyone who attends any performance hoping to see anyone get hurt is also immoral.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To elevate the effect beyond its built-in brutality and horror, they never say that they’re going to catch bullets. They say that they’re going to move the bullet from one side of the stage to the other, using magic wands.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the Epilogue, Abraham and Kearns describe the ultimate display of audience participation. During a performance by a folk music group, a man upstaged the performers by hurling himself to his death and landing on the stage several feet from them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As if that wasn’t enough to satisfy your blood lust, the authors conclude this terminal tome with an appendix of Fifty More Who Died Onstage—a Chronological Selection. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All of these performers died doing what they loved. Was it really the way they wanted to go? If these spectral sorcerers could speak, I suspect that many of them would say “yes.” Perhaps that affirmation would provide some measure of consolation to their friends and loved ones.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Clearly, this book is not for everyone. Think of it as a litmus test for ghouls. If reading and thinking about death arouses negative emotions in you, then don’t go anywhere near this book, unless you’re a masochist. You have been warned.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Someone who appreciates gallows humor. Someone who likes true crime stories. Someone with a rather dark sensibility and an appetite for the macabre. Someone like me.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">(Following that revelation, Jeff and Burt went to their volumnious archives. "Sasha was most likely talking about <b> </b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Mironov_(actor)" target="_blank">Andrei Mironov</a>," Burt tells us. "He was a<b> </b>movie star who was the leading man in popular Soviet films including <i>The Diamond Arm</i>, <i>Beware of the Car </i>and <i>Twelve Chairs</i>. He was also a singer, and performed onstage. On August 14, 1987, he was at the Riga Opera Theatre in Latvia, performing the lead role in <i>The Marriage of Figaro</i>, when he collapsed onstage. He died in a hospital two days later. He was 46. Cause of death? A cerebral aneurysm. The LA Times reported that 'scores of thousands' of Muscovites turned out for his funeral."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks, Burt -- "Closer to home, the<span style="color: #1b1b1b;"> classical pianist <a href="https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/russian-jewish-pianist-mikhail-klein-dies-on-stage/" target="_blank">Mikhail Klein</a> actually died onstage in Siberia two years ago. He was performing with the Irkutsk Philharmonic Orchestra in Irkutsk. I don't want to add to Sasha's trauma, but Klein was playing a jazz number he wrote called 'This Is All Russia' when he slipped from the bench and wound up in a heap at the foot of the grand piano. Heart failure at 72.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
