A Slap in the Face
In December 1957, Columbia Pictures decided to fire the Three Stooges after their 24 year contribution to comedy. While the studio profited off the trio’s antics, the actors themselves only reaped minor success when it came to their income. After being kicked out, Moe attempted to return to the studio weeks later to give the executives a proper goodbye but was stopped at the gate and denied entry for not having a current studio pass.
