The article says he died in 1975 and in 1990. Which is it? -- Mrwojo 23:41, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to include the info that voice actor Billy West's characterization for Stimpy from the Ren and Stimpy cartoons was based on Larry Fine? He was one of the only people around doing a Larry Fine impression (which was flawless) and he simply raised the pitch of it to fit Stimpy.
why did someone take out my text about him being a pro boxer. this is true and there is numerous written evidence to support this i am not making it up. Scapone --unsigned by 71.194.71.122 (talk) at 00:56, 11 April 2006
Here are two passages on Larry's boxing career:

: Explicit use of et al. in: |author=

help) p.22So, it seems that his brief boxing career is factual, but it was put to an end by his father, rather than due to suspension for dirty fighting. I'll touch up the bit on his boxing in the article. Rizzleboffin 22:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Can someone split this article into sections? Currently, it's lead-TOC-trivia-etc., which means the majority of the article is in the lead. Which is bad. — SheeEttin { T/ C} 23:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move Duja ► 13:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Larry Fine (actor) → Larry Fine — This Larry Fine is the most well known. — YUL89YYZ 16:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.The link to the article on Don Lamond is incorrect. Mr. Lamond lives or did live in Las Vegas, NV. The entry in the Internet Movie Database refers to Don Lamond the jazz drummer and mistakenly identifies him as being Don Lamond the television announcer, formerly of KTTV in Los Angeles, and Larry Fine's son-in-law. -- T.E. Goodwin ( talk) 00:32/ 00:46, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Named Louis Feinberg at birth, he is better known as Larry Fine. The article says, "known professionally as Larry Fine," but there is evidence that Larry Fine was his legal name at the time of his death. His social security number, 564-14-1176, was under the name of Larry Fine. Source: the Social Security Death Index, searchable at http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi. So rather than saying "known professionally as", the article should probably indicate that it was his real name at the time of his death, or some such. I don't have any source to say when the legal name changed happened; the social security number may have been issued to Feinberg, and later changed by deed poll. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 ( talk) 19:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Larry Fine's imdb bio currently says that Fine "Published a memoir in 1973 titled A Stroke Of Luck, now rare.
This is wrong...the full story of this rip-off book is told in the preface to Fine's "authorized biography," which can be read at Google Books.

The story of the rip-off bio should be summarized here, as copies are still turning up on Ebay, and selling for hundreds.

The prominently featured pic of "Disorder in the Court" is obviously squashed. Maybe someone can replace it with an undistorted image which actually resembles the person. -- BjKa ( talk) 07:54, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
"violin lessons to help strengthen the damaged muscles". What damaged muscles? The article only talks about some acid incident, but the kinds of acids which jewellers use certainly couldn't have done any damage beyond the skin. -- BjKa ( talk) 07:54, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

One family member left out is that Larry had a brother who remained a tailor in Philadelphia,Pa. all his life.In the colonial section of Philadelphia,there is an enormous wall mural of Larry marking the spot where his brother's shop was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.11 ( talk) 19:11, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
