For everyone who has nursed a little crush on Tim Curry, I'm about to make it worse, here's Tim doing an interview in French. He's discussing 'Hair' in 1969. Look at him saying the word "philosophy" at 0:32.
Tim Curry discusses the character of Frank-N-Furter and the experience of performing The Rocky Horror Picture Show on stage and for film in this 1974 interview.
Tim Curry was a twentysomething stage actor in London when, in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s, he auditioned for a new musical spoof of B movies called “The Rocky Horror Show.” It became a sensation. But Curry’s career encompassed much more than “Rocky Horror”: a particularly delectable villain, he played Little Orphan Annie’s abductor (“Annie”), Long John Silver (“Muppet Treasure Island”), the Lord of Darkness (“Legend”), and the world’s scariest clown (“It”). He appeared in comedies as a mystery-solving butler (“Clue”), a harried concierge (“Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”), and King Arthur (“Spamalot”), and he had a feral, if short-lived, rock career.

“But if death comes for me peacefully and I fade gently from light into dark oblivion, why would I be afraid of it? Sometimes, I rather think it would be a comfort.”
Thank you for everything, Tim ❤️
Oh god. So sad.
Worked with the great Tim Curry on ‘Bette’. Had the most wonderful supper with him, where I endlessly enthused about his work. He kindly listened, then suggested getting drunker would be far more entertaining…
RIP Tim Curry. A genuine STAR! 💔
Very sad about Dolly Parton but tears for Tim Curry. I hope he knows how much he was loved.
Candles lit 🔥 🔥
& now I have films to watch - Muppets Treasure Island as the young adults have taken the RHS with them!
Tim Curry was so damn good in Home Alone 2. As is the case with basically everything Curry was ever a part of, when he was on screen, things got better. His chemistry with Macaulay Culkin, even at such a young age, was special & speaks to Curry’s patience & kindness as an actor. We lost a really, really good one today. I’m going to miss Tim Curry a lot.
The Muppets have released a statement on the tragic passing of Tim Curry.
“Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer, he was unparalleled – witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny.
We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.”
A much clearer version.
Dolly Parton, Bette Midler & me (pretending I know how to play…)
“Moses” by Bette Midler.
Thank you to the person who sent this.
RIP Dolly Parton. 💔
EXC: The Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society plans to form an 'international pressure group' to push Glasgow School of Art into handing the fire-hit Mack building to a trust so it may be fully restored
The Society says the Art School has 'lost credibility'
