A Legacy of Icons
Tim gave life to characters that audiences will never forget. He leaves behind a legacy that spans from dancing across the screen in fishnets and heavy makeup—turning the quirky midnight movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show became a global phenomenon as Dr. Frank-N-Furter—to terrifying an entire generation with a sinister smile—as Pennywise the Clown in the 1990 television miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’s It.
Curry’s brilliance extended far beyond the live-action screen. As an incredibly prolific voice actor, he poured his soul into dozens of animated villains and heroes, letting his iconic voice resonate with fans long after he left the physical stage
