50 years after “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” first debuted, Tim Curry remains inseparable from his fearless turn as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. In an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” the actor reflected on the role with wit and pride, noting how it continues to leave its mark on Hollywood history.“They’ll always think of Marlene Dietrich with a top hat, being rather butch,” Curry said. “And, I don’t know that Frank is part of a pantheon or anything, but he made his mark, and he would have never settled for anything else. And didn’t.” Curry’s performance as the “sweet transvestite from transs3xual, Transylvania” remains one of cinema’s most iconic queer roles. More than a decade after a stroke left him with limited mobility, the actor continues to embrace the character’s legacy and the lasting influence it has had on generations of audiences. #timcurry #franknfurter #rockyhorror #50thanniversary #lgbtqia
