Tim Curry Dies: 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' Actor Was 80

Tim Curry, who became a cult movie legend as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has died at age 80. Curry died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. A cause of death was not immediately announced, though he had faced serious health challenges since suffering a major stroke in 2012. He had used a wheelchair following the stroke and subsequent brain surgery. Curry’s performance as the wildly flamboyant Frank-N-Furter turned Rocky Horror into something far bigger than a movie—it became a full-blown cultural phenomenon, complete with midnight screenings, costumes, audience participation and generations of fans who knew every word before the opening credits were finished. Police reportedly responded to Curry's home late Tuesday night, and authorities do not suspect foul play.
