The iconic role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror Picture

Show brought actor Tim Curry a worldwide fame. Over the years,

this renowned actor and singer treated his audience with remarkable

films and songs, but in 2012, his life changed after he suffered a stroke.

Born in Grappenhall, England, on April 19, 1946, Curry has always

showed great love for music. Everyone who knew him well was certain

he would achieve great things as a musician, and they were right,

but what he conquered the world with has been his acting talent

Curry attended the Kingswood School boarding school in Bath, and was

destined for a life in show business. Later on, he attended Birmingham University.

He graduated in 1968 with a combined degree in drama and theatre studies.

While studying in Birmingham, Curry shared a house with actor, screenwriter,

and director Patrick Barlow. At the time, he was a major solo star.

“I remember being amazed by his extraordinary singing voice –

it was just completely perfect, just something he was born with – it came ready-made,” Barlow told The Guardian.
