Death of actor Tim Curry

Overview

British actor and voice artist Tim Curry has died at the age of 80. His passing was confirmed by his representative, Marcia Hurwitz, who noted that he died peacefully at his residence in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call regarding the death of an 80-year-old male in North Hollywood on the night of August 25, finding no suspicious circumstances.

Curry was widely recognized for his iconic role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the cult classic musical ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’. His prolific career spanned over five decades across theatre, film, television, and animation, characterized by a unique ability to transition between comedy and horror, as well as musical and dramatic genres. Notable roles included Wadsworth in ‘Clue’, the concierge in ‘Home Alone 2: Lost in New York’, Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the 1990 miniseries adaptation of ‘It’, and appearances in ‘Muppet Treasure Island’ and ‘Legend’. In his later years, he focused largely on voice acting and released his memoir, ‘Vagabond’, in 2025.

Following his death, actress Lesley Ann Warren shared that Curry had been struggling with emotional and psychological challenges regarding his inability to perform. Curry had faced significant health challenges for over a decade following a stroke in 2012, which left him partially paralyzed and reliant on a wheelchair. Official documents from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health have identified coronary artery disease as the primary cause of death, noting that a history of stroke and kidney cancer were significant contributing factors. In the wake of his passing, colleagues including Susan Sarandon and Carol Burnett have shared tributes to his legacy.
