Tim Curry has always set himself apart as a performer by his versatility. He could make you laugh, cry, sing, dance, mad… every emotion he could bring out of you. He was genuinely a perfect performer. Always came across as a humble, loving, and living in the moment kind of person. Even through his health struggles the man always improvised funny moments on the spot never letting his ailments hold him down. He brought a character like Pennywise to life with his makeup (along with Bart Mixon) and voice choices and I’m confident that if anyone else played this role Pennywise would not be as iconic as he became in horror. How he brought Frank-N-Furter to life with his choices in changing the design and original accent ideas… without him Rocky Horror doesn’t become the phenomenon that it is… he brought not only his magnificent performance but his creativeness, his forward thinking imagination, his genius to every performance no matter how big or small the production was. I’m grateful we have his movies to enjoy and his interviews to relive his personality. I’m grateful to OC Celebrity Marketing LLC who opened an opportunity to get an autograph while he was live signing with them and telling stories, cracking jokes, and being kind to the love he was receiving. This passing definitely brought tears to my eyes as I have loved this man’s career for a very long time and my love for horror stems from his work in IT. Horror movies are a comfort that has helped me a lot during rough times and rewatching his work is very huge to that help. Tim Curry is a Legend, an Icon, and a person that will never be forgotten. May he RIP. I’ll definitely be watching IT and Rocky Horror today.
