Tim Curry has sadly passed away at the age of 80.
Curry was one of the most distinctive and unforgettable performers of his generation. His death was reported on August 26, with reports saying he died Tuesday night.
Across a career spanning more than five decades, Curry proved capable of making virtually any role memorable. His performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show became a defining piece of pop culture, while his terrifying portrayal of Pennywise in the 1990 adaptation of Stephen Kingโs It introduced an entirely different generation to his work.
His filmography also included beloved performances in Clue, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Muppet Treasure Island and Scary Movie 2, along with an extensive career on stage and as a voice actor.

Wow. ๐ค This was definitely my biggest Back to School event yet. Atlanta, thank you for showing up and showing out. Seeing so many families and students come together meant the world to me. I hope everyone left feeling a little more prepared and a little more confident heading into this school year. Weโre just getting started. More to come from @AngelCReeseOrg ๐โจ
White people are in my comments telling me not to put all white people in the same category, yet Black people have been stereotyped and lumped together for generations. The difference is, when I talk about white people, I'm specifically talking about racist white people.
If that description doesn't apply to you, then it shouldn't offend you. The fact that some of y'all get so triggered whenever racism is called out says more about you than it does about me. Instead of getting defensive, maybe ask yourself why being associated with racism bothers you more than racism itself.
