RIP Tim Curry

Even more sad news today that actor Tim Curry has passed away at the age of 80, he had battled illness for many years since having a major stroke in 2012. He still continued to do different events and appearances over the last few years.

He had so many legendary roles, including my personal favourite as Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Maybe most well known for his role in Home Alone 2 or Annie. He was also Pennywise the Clown in IT. His filmography including many more amazing films and tv shows.

Thoughts go out to all of his family and friends. ❤️

A true icon of cinema and so many memorable roles, he has been one of my favourite actors for many years and I feel as though the performances he delivers in All the President’s Men and The Way We Were being two of my favourites. His Oscar win came for best director for Ordinary People in 1981.
