The Female Stooge

 

That is Christine McIntyre, who starred in over 20 shorts with the boys, mostly with the Shemp and Joe Besser iterations of the team.  She had charm and charisma, and could hold her own with all the Stooges.  She also had an amazing voice which she showed off first in Micro-Phonies (1945), towards the end of Curly's run.  She was such a great performer she has been the unofficial female stooge for some time.

Moe: "Oh a micro-phony!" 

Curly: "And a phony at the mic!"
