From the New York Post: "Tim Curry, ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and ‘It’ actor, dead at 80."
The actor died Tuesday night, his rep, Sean Katz, confirmed to USA Today, 14 years after suffering a major stroke that left him partially paralyzed.
“Tim Curry, the iconic actor and entertainer globally beloved for his dynamic contributions to the stage and screen, passed away peacefully at his home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, on Aug. 25, 2026, confirmed by his longtime manager and friend Marcia Hurwitz,” the statement read.
“Though widely known for his inimitable, flamboyant characters and colorful stage performances, his greatest legacies to those who knew him were his curious, expansive mind and generous, gentle heart, both of which remained open and filled with anticipation until his final breath.”
A really good actor.
ReplyDeleteYup. My favorite movie of his is “Clue”.
DeleteIIRC he played Pennywise The Clown on the 1990 TV miniseries "IT."
DeleteRocky Horror Picture Show. I will not let the Progs/Dems/LGBTQ crowd stop me from laughing at a Trans/Drag Queen put on. It can't be said that the movie in any way promotes such a lifestyle.
