Houck was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Houck.[1] She is familiar to modern viewers for her roles in several Three Stooges short subjects, such as G.I. Wanna Home. She is best remembered as the aggressive girlfriend who throws Shemp Howard's head into a vise until he decided to marry her in Brideless Groom:

  • Shemp: "Stop, I'm getting a headache!"
  • Houck: "I'll fix your headache!"

Houck was married to San Antonio, Texas oil man Edward G. Nealis; they divorced in May 1948. On January 6, 1950, Houck married Los Angeles police officer and Hollywood fixer Fred Otash, in Beverly Hills. They were divorced twice: the first order was vacated following a November 1950 reconciliation,[2] and their second and final divorce was granted on June 19, 1952.[1]

Houck died suddenly on December 14, 1965.[3]

Selected filmography
gollark: I don't see why you still insist on this version...
gollark: I still think that unless some fundamental things about consciousness which that assumes are figured out, and perhaps even then, this is kind of wasteful and useless.
gollark: Well, yes, might be.
gollark: We don't even know how consciousness works. That process might just somehow result in having two consciousnesses running for a bit. Who knows?
gollark: What's the real problem here? You lose consciousness all the time. Unless you don't sleep.
