Tim Curry, star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, dies aged 80
Stage and screen veteran who brought Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Pennywise to life dies at 80
The legendary English actor died Tuesday night at his Los Angeles home, according to TMZ.
The actor’s gift for garish eccentricity was indelibly appropriate for the outlandish, cross-dressing mad scientist Frank-N-Furter.
The actor, who launched his career in London's West End theater district, first played the gender-bending mad scientist in "Rocky Horror" before reprising the role in the 1975 film, which is still a staple of midnight cinema showings more than 50 years later.
