RIP Tim Curry?

Ok, not 100% sure on this because their was a hoax about his death a couple of days ago and it might be that the major news outlets have just picked up on it, but I am hearing from a lot of sources that the iconic actor from TRHPS, Clue and so many other things has died.

If it is true this is sad news.

Seems legit. TMZ is reporting it, and while I'm not a fan of them, they're fairly accurate in reporting on this stuff.

Plus I'm seeing legit news places like The Hollywood Reporter and New York Post reporting it.

R.I.P. I saw him interviewed in a documentary recently and he looked frail and almost unrecognizable. Cause of death has not yet been released.

His manager confirmed his passing.

Tim Curry, the charismatic star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has reportedly died at the age of 80.

His manager confirmed his death to The New York Times.

TMZ was first to report that the actor died late Tuesday at his Los Angeles home. A cause of death was not immediately given, though the actor had suffered from significant health problems since a major stroke in 2012 left him unable to walk.

Born Timothy James Curry in Cheshire, England, in 1946, Curry was the younger child of Patricia, a school secretary, and James, a Methodist chaplain for the Royal Navy. He had an older sister, Judith – a concert pianist, who died in 2001.

Rest in peace, Tim Curry.
