Tim Curry, the English actor renowned for his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, died at age 80 at his Los Angeles home. He had suffered a debilitating stroke in 2012, which limited his mobility and acting work. Curry's career spanned stage, film, and voice acting, with notable roles in Clue, Home Alone 2, and Stephen King's It. No cause of death was disclosed, and authorities reported no foul play. Curry was never married and had no children, a personal choice he rarely discussed publicly.
