In Remembrance of Tim Curry

Well, this has already been a week, hasn’t it? Yes, in incredibly upsetting news for any fans of his immense body of work, Tim Curry has died at the age of 80. To list all his amazing roles would take up a whole article in itself. I will say it astounds me that one of his most famous parts was his film debut (“The Rocky Horror Picture Show,”). Plus, his presence in, “Home Alone 2,” is a big reason I actually enjoy that movie more than the first one. Curry did a ton of voiceover work too (Nigel Thornberry was a hoot), shifting mainly into that as opposed to live-action work after a stroke in 2012 limited his mobility to a degree. Whether he was terrifying us as an evil clown ("It,") making us laugh in, “Clue,” or shockingly brutal as a con artist named Rooster in, “Annie,” Curry was an amazing talent. We have a lot of great stuff to enjoy thanks to him, and plenty of joyous memories are held by those who saw him on the stage, screen, or knew him personally. He will be missed.
