I was surprised to learn about the passing on one of my favorite actors British actor Tim Curry at the age of 80. He was a very versatile actor and first caught my eye as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the cult movie “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. He really scared me as Pennywise the Clown in Stephen King’s “IT’ and he even showed up in “Home Alone Two”.

Yesterday it was Dolly Parton and today it was Tim Curry. It seems that most of the celebrities I loved are dying of old age.

It was sad to hear about. I saw him interviewed on a show not long ago. He was really disabled due to his stroke. It was a shame as he used to be so healthy and vibrant.

Oh no, I wasn't aware of this. I know Dolly passed away but Tim Curry too?
This is really sad
