Murder of Ted Healy - By Wallace Beery

Murder of Ted Healy - The last living witness Mousie Garner said it was Wallace Beery.

[@Robbi496]

Ted Healy was also a frightful drunk, which is the main reason that Moe convinced Larry and Curly to break out on their own!

[@PapagenoMF]

Beary was not sent on vacation immediately, it happened six months later. Second, Beary had zero motivation to beat Healy and everything to lose. Third, you forgot to mention that the coroner said the cut on his head was superficial (he wasn't beaten all over his body) and the real cause of death was acute nephritis. His kidneys were inflamed and discolored from years of alcoholism.

[@wonderrob3225]

He wouldn't be the first alcoholic to fall on his face and die, especially if there were plenty of folks who wanted him to fall on his head. The story that lives in history however is that Ted Healy was a guy who used to work with the great and famous comedy team created by the Horowitz AKA Howard Brothers.

[@KuznVinny]

I don't know if Wallace Beery was the cause of Healy's death or not, but after what he did to Gloria Swanson, I wouldn't be surprised.

[@KuznVinny]

Exactly, although I think I also heard booze was used as well.

What was her quote about their marriage: "We were invited to all the best houses in Hollywood ... ONCE!"

[@davelaviolette1731]

This is an old story around Hollywood though I wasn't aware of Cubby Broccoli (James Bond fame) being involved. All I know is that Howard Strickling, the Head of Publicity at MGM died with an incredible amount of secrets.

[@davelaviolette1731]

Darryl Ruiz I just saw "Hail, Caesar", the Coen Bros film. Josh Brolin plays this studio head named Eddie Mannix. I thought it was strange that they'd use his name as a character. It was a great movie though and I don't understand why it got bad reviews.

[@bongbong7962]

Cubby Broccoli is a bad thief

[@skippy3860]

I noticed Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians were mentioned. There's a story in my family that Fred Waring's father, also Fred, was briefly married to my great grandmother in Winnipeg. He then borrowed money from her father and then took off. This would have been around 1910. Her father then had the marriage annulled and my great grandmother later married again and had my grandmother in 1916. Don't know how much truth there is to it.

[@markserour9115]

So? No one cares. What does that have to do with Healy's story?

+KaydeyRai - I have seen an article that agrees Healy was a rotten tight-wad drunk of a manager who screwed the now Three Stooges out of a lot of money. Here is a link to this article at: www.empireonline.com/movies/features/three-stooges/ This article also gives a good possible reason why Healy died. Well worth looking at and very informative.

He was involved in some way, the fact Healy died after the incident doesnt mean he was no responsable of Healy's death.

[@rerejones9095]

Well, let me tell you what my family is in possession of a diary from a family member in that time when this happened. We also have a letter from Moe, stating what happened and the studio was paying people left and right to cover it up him being beaten. The thing you need to understand head injuries can kill somebody hours later. The other thing is we also have a copy of the original autopsy report where they scratched off cause of death was beaten. Also, the guy that was paid off by the studio came to the family with the file and showed everybody see his conscience got to him, and he couldn’t live with the fact that he covered up a man’s death that these people should’ve been charged with murder. You got to remember the studios back, then would pay people just to get married so they can get publicity. However, they didn’t want no bad publicity so they would pay money to cover it up. So my family of today is still dealing with this because people won’t let my cousin rest in peace, my family has thought about publishing, the diary, the letter and the autopsy report, but the thing is there will always be people trying to debunk the truth and we don’t want the bullshit. It’s bad enough people will do these videos or do a story on our family member and they get it wrong and we’re sitting here with physical proof of what happened. His death pictures he’s all bruised all over the face. They killed my cousin, and it was covered up. Hollywood studios are evil as hell.

Mr. J You do realize that Ted is an obscure figure in Hollywood history, right? 😠

[@rjmcallister1888]

Saw them in 1930 Fox Film Rube Goldberg "Soup to Nuts". Healy was OK, and one could see the Stooges (Shemp, Larry, Moe) converting their stage routines to motion pictures. I never was that impressed with Healy, and he had a bad reputation within Hollywood. All the studios had PR people who covered for their stars' bad behavior, so it would not be a surprise. Beery was more important to MGM then than Healy.

[@garryfrater7536]

It says that after the attack on Healey at the night club an unconscious Healey crawled into a taxi how if he was unconscious could he crawl anywhere?

Shemp also went out on his own because the movies wanted him he was known even at that time as the ugliest man in Hollywood they were going to make a big store out of him and Shemp made a lot of money out on his own I mean it doesn't take long even for the Three Stooges to see that when Ted Healy was making $3,000 show and was giving them $100 a piece then it was time to go and when Columbia wanted them - Ted Healy they went for it and nobody could really blame them for it Ted Healy made them more well-known but they were doing slapstick before they got with Healy it was Howard and Howard

[@laddiemeadows6180]

This mini-documentary conveniently leaves out that Healy was a mean drunk who exploited the Stooges.

And he was completely unfunny!!!

[@rhettdrake6518]

Yeah he had a problem with drinking. But he was one of the most kind heart person in Hollywood he gave to underprivileged kids and bought them Christmas presents he died broke bc he gave away all his money to people in need I bet you didn't know that when his friends would be out of work he would give them money to get buy and a bunch of other true facts like that. So for you to call him a bad person and a drunk you are a dip shit bc you have no idea what you are talking about.

@Laddie Meadows Harry Cohn exploited the Stooges more than he did. Sadly there has also been talk that Moe exploited Curly by inducing him to sign away residuals to Moe's children rather than to Curly (this when Curly was sick and vulnerable). Larry and Joe DeRita's families also sued Moe's estate because they felt he took too much of the residuals leaving them with nothing. Don't know how it all turned out but it sure is sad that everybody exploited one another - even family members!

[@billyshepard5514]

While their is no way to know if Healy was murdered and it was covered up a similar event also happened in 1937. This wild party in 1937 at the home of MGM producer Hal Roach sounds like something that would happen at the Playboy Mansion. The DVD "Girl 27" probes the 1937 rape of a studio extra, how it was hushed up and how it changed the victim forever. Some of the same MGM names are mentioned, Eddie Mannix. articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/19/entertainment/et-girl27

[@walkertongdee]

Wikipedia -Healy died suddenly on December 21, 1937 at the age of 41. The circumstances surrounding his death were a matter of some controversy. Initial reports listed the cause as a heart attack,[13] but the presence of recent wounds-a deep cut over his right eye, a "discolored" left eye, and bruising of the head, neck, and trunk regions-combined with stories of an altercation on the night of his death at the Trocadero nightclub on the Sunset Strip, gave rise to speculation that he died as a result of those injuries.[14] According to one source, quoting Healy's friend, the writer Henry Taylor, an argument broke out between Healy and three men identified only as "college boys". The younger men knocked Healy to the ground and kicked him in the head, ribs and abdomen. United Press reports cited wrestler Man Mountain Dean, who happened to be at Healy's hotel when he stumbled, injured and incoherent, out of a taxi, and helped to locate a doctor for him.[15] At some point in the evening Healy's friend Joe Frisco took him to his apartment, where he was later found dead.[16] A more recent (and so far uncorroborated) source alleges that the three assailants were not college boys, but actor Wallace Beery, Albert R. Broccoli (later producer of James Bond films), and Broccoli's cousin, agent/producer Pat DiCicco.[17] While there is no documentation in contemporaneous news reports that either Beery or DiCicco was present, Broccoli admitted that he was, indeed, involved in a fist fight with Healy a few hours before he died.[18] In other reports, Broccoli admitted to pushing Healy but not striking him.[19] Because of the circumstances, Wyantt LaMont, the physician who treated Healy, refused to sign his death certificate;[14] autopsy findings revealed that Healy died of acute toxic nephritis secondary to acute and chronic alcoholism. The external wounds were specifically ruled out as a cause of death, thus rendering the role of any assailants (and their identities) moot.[19] Healy was reportedly at the Trocadero celebrating the birth of his son, an event that he had eagerly anticipated, according to Moe Howard: "He was nuts about kids," wrote Howard. "He used to visit our homes and envied the fact that we were all married and had children. Healy always loved kids and often gave Christmas parties for underprivileged youngsters and spent hundreds of dollars on toys."[2]

But thank God back then one of the family members kept a diary. But they also kept a letter from Moe, stating that yeah, he was beaten up. And the damn studio was paying out money left and right to give out different stores. They even paid off the doctor you see on the autopsy report they have it written down that he was beaten to death, but they scratch that out and wrote in what the studio paid them to put. The guy that did the report and being paid off, bothered his conscience and he came to the family and showed them the original report. Where you could see they scratched out he was beaten to death. However there is family members that have talked about publishing, the diary, the letter, and a copy of the original autopsy report. But they don’t think it will be any good because there will always be some jackass saying oh that’s not what happened even though there’s pictures and you can see plain as day the autopsy report.
