Did you know that the original live reference model for Disney's Tinker Bell, which is me, Margaret Kerry, also starred in over 270 episodes with the Three Stooges? I can be seen in the movie still photo to the right of the Three Stooges with my mouth open (not the most flattering of poses) as Curly is smashing a pie into Emil Sitka's face.

I have been an actress since the age of four, and this was one of the many roles that I played. This photo is an 8" by 10" black and white movie still photo of the Three Stooges and me plus actor, Emil Sitka, who was in many of the Three Stooges films.

This is a copy of a photo taken in the 1960s. I have signed my name on the photo, Margaret Kerry. This is an original autograph, not a copy. A certificate of authenticity also comes with the photo.

I have preprinted a message on the photo as well. It is the famous catch phrase of the comedic trio, “Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!” Underneath that I preprinted, "Tinker Bell."

To make this even more special, I have added a CD of a young fan talking to Moe and Larry by phone in their later years. This is a wonderful collector's item for any Three Stooges fan! It is entitled, "One On One With Moe & Larry."   It is a first edition CD of actual phone conversations that Moe Howard and Larry Fine had with a young male fan named Ellsworth during the period l973-75.  This is  a first edition of many talks that Ellsworth had with the fabulous trio.  Ellsworth lived in Massachusetts and Moe and Larry were residing in California at the time.  The CD runs approximately 22 minutes but there are many pauses while the men come to the phone. In addition to the CD, inside the accompanying 9" by 12" pamphlet that contains the CD, you get the added bonus of copies of two letters , one from Moe and one from Larry that they wrote to their young fan, as well as copies of autographed photos that they sent him.

Ellsworth was a devoted fan and was constantly writing or phoning the famous comedians. The phone conversation on this CD with Larry Fine took place after Larry had suffered a severe stroke and was living at the Motion Picture and Television Retirement Community in Woodland Hills, California.  For that reason, he wasn't always easy to understand but Ellsworth perservered and you still definitely get a flavor of Larry from this talk.  The conversation with Moe was while he was living on Thrasher Ave in Los Angeles and his conversation with Ellsworth is much easier to understand.  It was thrilling to hear both men take the time to talk to this young fan!  You actually learn a lot about the two men from the questions that young Ellsworth asked them.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse from the past!
