A Lovers’ Quarrel
Under the name “Ted Healy and his Southern Gentlemen,” Healy is credited for pushing the Stooges toward stardom. While he did wonders for their career, Healy earned himself a questionable reputation. His love for the bottle being well-known, the comedian would often get blind drunk and engage in frequent fights. In 1922, he marred singer Betty Brown only to divorce in 1932 after his beloved attempted to sue heiress Mary Brown Warburton for “alienation of her husband’s affections.”
