What were the real names of Three Stooges?

Here are the real names of the Three Stooges, along with the characters they played:

* Moe Howard: Moses Horwitz

* Larry Fine: Louis Feinberg

* Curly Howard: Jerome Lester Horwitz (Moe's brother)

It's worth noting that Curly was replaced by Shemp Howard, who was Samuel Horwitz (Moe and Curly's brother), after Curly retired due to health issues.

Later, after Shemp's death, Joe Besser joined the act, and then Joe DeRita took over the role of the "third Stooge" after Besser retired.
