Tarler is best known for her prominent work in many late Three Stooges shorts. In particular, she made her mark in the films featuring Joe Besser as the third Stooge. She appeared in eight of the 16 shorts with Besser, and starred in all three of the science fiction comedies (Space Ship Sappy, Outer Space Jitters and Flying Saucer Daffy).[1]
Perhaps Tarler's most memorable role was in Hoofs and Goofs, where she played the dual role of Mr. Dinklespiel's (Benny Rubin) daughter, and also provided the voice of Joe Besser's reincarnated sister Birdie. Tarler again provided Birdie's voice in the sequel Horsing Around. Other films include Commotion on the Ocean, Rumpus in the Harem, and A Merry Mix Up.[1] After Christine McIntyre and Symona Boniface, Harriette Tarler appears in more Three Stooges shorts than any other supporting actress.
In addition to her Stooge work, Tarler also appeared in film The Joker Is Wild with Frank Sinatra, and made many appearances in the television show Dragnet.[1]
