Tim Curry, best known for his iconic role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," has died at age 80. His death comes 14 years after a near-fatal stroke in 2012 left him paralyzed and unable to walk.

Over his decades-long career, Curry earned three Tony nominations and a Daytime Emmy, and became a cult favorite for roles like Pennywise in "It" and Wadsworth in "Clue." Even after his stroke, he kept working, writing a memoir and lending his voice to animated projects.

He leaves behind a legacy of unforgettable performances and a devoted community of fans who still return to "Rocky Horror" year after year. 💜
