Tim Curry, star of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,' dies at 80

Tim Curry, brilliant Star of ‘Rocky Horror’ and much more, has died. He was 80 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/m...

It’s sad that Dolly’s death is going to eclipse this because Tim Curry was an absolute ICONIC unique once-in-a-lifetime talent who deserves to have his life remembered and honored and not just quietly slip by.

Every picture of Tim Curry looks like the photographer went "Hey, real quick. Take the most iconic shot of all time." and he pulled it off like 7/10 goes.

really glad we watched this even if (spoiler alert) Tim Curry gets got in one of the singular most terrifying ways *to me* 🥲

christ almighty, not Tim Curry too 😭 absolutely heartbroken right now.

I am no longer asking Thanks for everything, Tim Curry!

Losing 2 icons in 2 days! He was one of a kind and insanely brilliant! R.I.P. Tim Curry

Tim Curry, Star of ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show,’ Dies at 80

Not Tim Curry too 😭😭😭😭 this is too much, losing two such legends back to back. I grew up on his movies, he’s one of the first actors I recognized as an “actor” and would seek out his films. And he was ALWAYS iconic, no matter the role.

Dolly Parton - 80 Tim Curry - 80 I know another 80 year old that should have left us before these two gems...

Tim Curry was a huge part of my childhood & always seemed to be the sweetest man outside of his frequently scary or unsettling roles. Losing them both back to back, the world just feels like a worse place. I think the best ways we can honor them, is to follow them:

Tim Curry would have loved wielding a sword that shot lasers

dolly parton, tim curry, catherine o'hara, anthony head, my dog stop

I have based so much if who i am off of Tim Curry. Growing up, he was tbe most amazing actor out there. Even now. I think they will never be as great of a performer as Tim Curry. Rest well, you've gone home now 😭

Dolly, 80. Tim, 80. Rule of threes: ????? RIP to another GOAT. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/m...
