My understanding is that he suffered the stroke during the filming of HALF WITS
HOLIDAY (that's why he suddenly disappears from the dinner scene at the end of
the film). HOLD THAT LION was filmed about a year or so later.

At leats 2 at that point, possibly 3. I'd have to check bio books put
away in the closet.
The first took him off the set of Half Wits Holiday toward the end of
filming. From that point on we see the weaker and more subdued Curly.
Then a second one took him out of the cast completely.
"Hold That Lion" was aout 1-3 shorts in with Shemp returning as the 3rd stooge.

"Half Wit's Holiday" was Curly's last stooge short, except for the cameo
appearance in "Hold That Lion."

Yes, Curly suffered a major stroke on the set of Half Wit Holidays (1947
or 1948) and several minor ones after that. Curly was scheduled to be
in two Shemp shorts but was cut out of Malice in the Palace. If you
ever see a reproduction of the one sheet, you'll see a small picture of
Curly in chef's hat and floppy mustache. Why it didn't make the final
cut is anyone's guess.

I can't remember the exact short, but I recall seeing one where you could see
Larry standing behind Curly reading his lines to him.

Jerome (Curly) had been suffering strokes as early as 1941... small at first,
noticible to hardcore fans as the years progress thru out '42'43'44... his
performances at times were strained... leading up to a major stroke that ended
his career sadly. This appearance was merely a moral booster for a depressed
Curly, and filmed on a closed set.

than 18 years for that information, since the previous century, since
before Wikipedia, before Facebook, before Twitter, before LinkedIn,
before Google Groups, before Presidents Trump, Obama (both terms),
and Bush (both terms), before some of today's adults had been born.
That's more time than Curly was one of the Stooges, and twice as long
as Shemp was. He asked that question just five years after the last
of the Stooges (Curly Joe) died. "Lordbyron" may have children older
than he was when he asked that question.
