tim curry is one of the best examples of an actor who really could be just as good as a voice actor too. his nigel thornberry is such a key part of my childhood. from fern gully to barbie nutcracker to scooby doo, tim could transform his voice into anything.
I’ll never forget that Dolly would continuously donate the proceeds from “I Will Always Love You”. She was happy that it was now Whitney’s song and made sure the money from it went to those that needed it more. A true humanitarian. May she rest in peace.

If she had caved and given Elvis the rights, we would've never gotten Whitney's rendition.
Proof that standing on what you believe & being a bad bitch always pays off.
