Born Timothy James Curry in Cheshire\, Eng land\, he studied drama at the University of Birmingham and first made his name on the London stage. \; In 1973 he originated Dr. Frank-N-Furthe r in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. \; Two years later he bro ught that "sweet transvestite from Transexual\, Transylvania" to the scree n. \; The film flopped on first release. \; Then midnight audience s in New York started shouting back at the screen\, dressing up\, and thro wing rice. \; Fifty years later those screenings are still going. \; Curry's fearless\, magnetic\, completely unembarrassed performance is a big reason why. \; He didn't just play the part - he gave people perm ission to be loud\, weird\, and fully themselves.
\nA decade after t hat he played Wadsworth the Butler in Clue. \; I first became a fan in 1985 when my cousin rented it from the video store. \; I tho ught it was one of the best movies I'd ever seen\, and that Tim Curry (as Wadsworth) was one of the great actors. \; His machine-gun timing and physical comedy hold the entire chaotic mansion together. \; That film also found its audience later and now has its own devoted following. \; I\, myself\, have lost count how many times I watched Clue.
\nWhether you discovered Tim as Frank-N-Further\, Wadsworth\, Pennywis e\, or the concierge who wouldn't give a Kevin a room\, Curry had a rare g ift: he made the outrageous look effortless and invited everyone to enjoy it too.
