RIP Tim Curry 💔 Last September 26, on the 50th anniversary of the US release of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, the Academy Museum hosted a rare Q&A with the legend himself. After a debilitating 2012 stroke, Curry had diminished mobility and speech, but he was as sharp and wonderfully witty as ever.
