Technically, it was Emil Sitka who was scheduled to take over for Larry when he passed in January, 1975. But Moe fell ill to lung cancer and passed in April, 1975 and Sitka never got to play with the Stooges. He was a role player in many Stooges two-reel shorts of the 1940s and 1950s. He passed away in 1998.
Moe Howard - 1897-1975
Larry Fine - 1902-1975
Curly Howard - 1903-1952
Shemp Howard - 1895-1955
Joe Besser - 1907-1988
Curly Joe DeRita - 1909-1993
Joe Palma - 1905-1994*
Emil Sitka - 1914-1998
* - Shemp passed away with four two-reel shorts left in the contract. Joe Palma stepped in and 'played' Shemp for those four shorts. Palma had no lines, kept his face away from the camera, and wore a wig that looked like Shemp's hair. Palma, like Emil Sitka, played in many Stooges shorts in the 40s and 50s. At the end of the contract Joe Besser was signed to become the third Stooge.
