Doris Colleen Houck (September 28, 1921 – December 14, 1965) was an American film actress. She appeared in 25 films from 1932 to 1955.

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. Her gravesite is in Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles.^{[citation needed]}
