Career

Due to her rotund figure, Gittelson was often cast as a love interest who often intimidated her husband or boyfriend. Modern viewers will recognize Gittelson in her appearances in several early

False Alarms, in which she played the large and man-hungry lady pursuing the affections of a reluctant Curly Howard.[1]
Curly memorably contacts Moe and Larry, saying "Hello, Moe? You'd better come over. You're missing one of the biggest things in your life!" To her remark, "I grow on people!", Curly responds, "so do warts!" Her line as she is getting into a car with the Stooges: "Let's go places and eat things!"

Gittelson also appeared in many non-Stooges films, usually in minor roles and seldom credited. Feature films in which she played character parts include King Kong (1933),[2] Mark of the Vampire (1935),[3] and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).[3]
