I adored Tim Curry, he was the best thing in Clue. He also made a lovely pirate king. So many great rôles. I have his autobiography Vagabond, which he reads himself.

I loved his answer to questions about his sexuality. “It was the 70s”.

Glad someone else is remembering him. He unfortunately chose the same day (and at the same age) to die as Dolly Parton. I'm a big fan of The Rocky Horror Show and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Tim Curry had been very disabled for a number of years following a stroke and was ready to go I believe. He will be missed.

I read his very entertaining autobiography recently. He was a vicar’s son! Who knew? It appears the last few years were difficult due to the severe stroke he had suffered. RIP.

I loved him, does anyone remember him on tv as Shakespeare in the 1970s?

I saw him on stage as Frank N Furter many, many years ago. He was brilliant.

Very sad. RIP Tim

Oh no, so many deaths already this year. He will always be incomparable as Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
