Heartbreak Ended Larry’s Life
Larry Fine also suffered his fair share of misfortune before his death in 1975. Following his termination from Columbia Pictures, he ended up bankrupt due to his gambling addiction and reckless spending habits. In November 1961, his son passed away in a car accident and several years later, his wife whom he adored unexpectedly died of a heart attack while he was on tour. Three years later, Fine suffered a stroke that left him confined to a wheelchair before his death.
