Tim Curry became a cult actor following his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter Role in Rocky Horror Picture Show. The English actor and singer started his journey toward Hollywood on the theatrical stage – as of today, he’s been acting for over four decades.
Tim’s life changed drastically when he suffered a stroke in 2012. Thankfully, he survived, but for years, the 78-year-old had to go to both physical and speech therapy. So what is Tim Curry doing today? And how is he doing after the stroke? Here’s all you need to know!
Tim Curry was born in Grappenhall, England, on April 19, 1946. His father, James, worked as a Methodist Royal Navy chaplain; his mother, Patricia, as a school secretary.
When Tim was only an infant, his family moved to Hong Kong. There, tragedy struck, as his father suffered a stroke. So his family moved back to England and the city of Plymouth. He spent a lot of time with his maternal grandfather, who lived close by (and, coincidentally, helped him in a role later on in life).
