Tim Curry, the acclaimed British actor and singer best known for his unforgettable role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has reportedly died at the age of 80. His longtime manager confirmed that Curry passed away at his Los Angeles home on August 25, 2026.

Throughout a remarkable career spanning nearly six decades, Curry became one of entertainment’s most distinctive performers. He frightened audiences as Pennywise in It, entertained fans as Wadsworth in Clue, and appeared as the concierge in Home Alone 2. His Broadway career also earned him three Tony nominations.
