It was good to see him! So many rumors about his condition have been going around, but I think most were put to rest.
I saw so many people all over Facebook saying "Oh how sad," etc. Me, I feel the opposite. I'm glad he's still with us, and in good spirits. I'm delighted to see him up and about.
Might be hard to believe but I always forget that was him, but then as many times I had gone seen Rocky Horror, I just can't help my mental stereotypecasting...yeah well if that isn't a real word it damn well should be
And that was his real hair? As Pennywise? Not a wig? And I thought it was unruly in RH. Heh.Might be hard to believe but I always forget that was him, but then as many times I had gone seen Rocky Horror, I just can't help my mental stereotypecasting...yeah well if that isn't a real word it damn well should be
This was one of the photos that went around with the article today.
I'm just amazed that they found a picture I hadn't seen before. I didn't think that was possible.

As much of a sacrilege as this is bound to be here, when I think Tim Curry my mind immediately goes to "I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania," before anything else.
I love me some Pennywise, and I can't imagine anyone else playing him better! But the miniseries was just never going to be as good as the book, those (clown) shoes were just too big to fill.* Even with the amazing cast, I kinda wish they'd left it alone.
I'll go now before the crowd forms with pitchforks and torches... Before I go, Yay for Tim Curry!
*Har!

He will always be Frankenfurter to me first, Pennywise second. Run faster, Hipmamajen, I'm right behind you!!!!
No pitchforks from me. He's forever Frankie. Those are platform heels others may borrow, but never fill.
Grandma mostly loves, sometimes hates him - loves him for the presence he brings to roles - hates (not really) him because "He's got better legs then I do!" when we watch RHPS. I disagree, of course.
But still, unforgettable as a horny (nyuk!) guy in Legend, Cardinal Richelieu in Three Musketeers, and good but overbaked in The Shadow, as well as about 27,000 other roles in every media going. One of our favorite lines from him was as a guest star in Psych: "I've been incarcerated in a blueberry!!"

He is great as Pennywise but he is absolutely magical as Frank'N'Furter. Congrats
I'm with you! IT is one movie I would love to see a reboot on. Something big budget, done by a director like Darabont who genuinely respects King and wants to get it right. (except the mist--wth?!) I think IT would make a fantastic movie. Long, probably a three-parter, but fantastic nonetheless.
Same here. I really do forget he was Pennywise sometimes. Long love Frankenfurter!
I do! Kids loved it, well I did too.....also had
Robin Williams was in it too......

Batty Coda! He was my favorite character. 
Here's a video of a quick interview with TC at the Actors Fund party. It's a little choppy, but it's all Tim.
