His father, James, worked as a Methodist Royal Navy chaplain; his mother, Patricia, as a school secretary.Tim Curry \u2013 early lifeWhen 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).Related to his father\u2019s work with the church, Tim showed promising talent in singing. At age six, Tim was a soprano in his local church, and four years later, he\u2019d become a Shakespearean\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/celebrity\/jon-cryer-demi-moore-romance-relationship-virginity-affair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">actor<\/a>. When his father passed away, Curry and his family moved to London.\u00a0He attended the Kingswood School boarding school in Bath, and appeared destined, even from a young age, for a life in show business. After graduating, Tim went on to study drama at Birmingham University. In 1968, he graduated 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, Curry was, as mentioned, a great singer. However, his acting hadn\u2019t really yet come to the fore.In fact, Curry was pretty much seen as a major solo star.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-100777 lazyautosizes lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-scaled.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, 652px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-1536x822.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-2048x1096.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"Tim Curry\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1370\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-1536x822.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200258\/timcurry1-2048x1096.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"2560\" data-eio-rheight=\"1370\" \/>\u201cI remember being amazed by his extraordinary singing voice \u2013 it was just completely perfect, just something he was born with \u2013 it came ready-made,\u201d Barlow told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/stage\/2006\/oct\/20\/theatre1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Guardian<\/a>.\u201cWe would go to university parties and end up having a drink and whatever, and he would break out into song, this marvellous bluesy voice.\u201dBreakthrough work in \u2018Hair\u2019After graduating in 1968, Curry, Barlow, and some other friends were sat in a car one day headed for London. Tim had been denied admission to the Birmingham Repertory Theater because he was not a member of Actors\u2019 Equity. Instead, he was to try to pursue his dream in another way.The plan was to join a street theatre troupe in Chalk Farm, though none of the group knew what to expect. As mentioned, Tim\u2019s voice had become his trademark in his early days, and after just 24 hours in London, he had gotten himself his first professional job.\u201cSomeone had told us about it \u2013 none of us really knew how to get in anything in those days. We got there and of course, I was the only one who stayed,\u201d Barlow recalled.\u201cTim and Judy got a job in Hair the next day.

According to his website, Tim lied about both.Wanted to be an actor rather than a singerThough producers shortly found out that he had neither professional experience or an Equity card, they were \u201csufficiently impressed\u201d with his talent and presence. That led to them sponsoring him with union membership.\u201cI wanted to do the Sodomy, Fellatio\u2026 song but I ended up just jumping up and down at the back as part of the troupe. It was a very peculiar production. People just didn\u2019t turn up if they were a bit stoned or they thought they\u2019d stay home. But I was a real trouper. I always showed up,\u201d Tim explained.<em>Hair<\/em> brought Tim Curry instant fame. However, he still wasn\u2019t sure about what he wanted to do.

In an interview with the LA Times, Tim explained that he was offered recording contracts and given the opportunity to join music groups. His real passion, though, lay elsewhere.\u201cI was offered things, recording contracts, offered to join groups. But as I thought about it, I got rather snippy.

This was to become a life-changing move. In 1975, he landed the part of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show when it became a Hollywood production.\u201cThey asked me to audition for it, and I sang \u201cTutti Frutti,\u201d which was appropriate, really. I started playing [Frank-N-Furter] as a German, then I saw the costume. It was quite diva,\u201d he told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/article\/2015\/10\/07\/rocky-horror-picture-show-reunion-ew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>.\u201cI heard a woman on the bus one day saying, in this posh voice, \u2018Are you looking at a new house when retiring or your place in the country?\u2019 and I thought, \u2018That\u2019s it!\u2019 Almost like the Queen. Well, it was a smash from the moment it opened. It was a tiny theater. There were only 60 seats. And then they brought it over to Los Angeles.\u201dThe 1975 release of the film <em>Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em>\u00a0became a huge success. Curry starred alongside Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Patricia Quinn, and Meat Loaf. While the film didn\u2019t earn any prestigious awards, it became a cult classic, and elevated Tim to a whole new level of stardom.But that didn\u2019t mean that he couldn\u2019t be thrown out of a screening of his film, which Curry actually was.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-100775 lazyautosizes lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-scaled.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, 652px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-1536x822.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-2048x1096.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"Tim Curry\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1370\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-scaled.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-768x411.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-1536x822.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/05\/05200300\/timcurry3-2048x1096.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"2560\" data-eio-rheight=\"1370\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was hoping it was going to be a very commercial Warhol movie,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was odd because, in fact, I was living in the building behind the Waverly.

Tim, however, rejected the idea. At that point, he had further developed his singing skills, releasing albums and touring, and was regularly performing on Broadway, in television series, and films.Between 1978 and 1981, Curry released three studio albums with A&amp;M Records. Despite none of them becoming commercial successes, he had a minor hit with\u00a0<em>I Do The Rock<\/em>, which managed to reach No. 53 on the Billboard charts.During this time, Curry also started working alongside legendary actor Ian McKellen. The two starred in the theatrical show <em>Mozart<\/em>, which became a smash hit. Both actors received Tony nominations for their performances \u2013 Curry described it as one of his proudest pieces of work.He then starred as the infamous clown Pennywise in\u00a0<em>It<\/em>\u00a0(1990), and six years later, he was a professional pirate in\u00a0<em>Muppet Treasure Island<\/em>. The latter, he said, was a very enjoyable experience.\u201cWhat\u2019s extraordinary is that after the first day or two, you don\u2019t think of them as Muppets,\u201d he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timcurry.co.uk\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">said<\/a>. \u201cYou think of them as characters \u2014 as fellow act<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tim starred as Long John Silver.

He also sang well into his 60s. In 2012, though, tragedy struck, when the much-loved entertainer suffered a stroke. Thankfully, he survived, but the incident certainly impacted greatly on his life.Family and friends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/253312\/tim-currys-best-on-screen-performances\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">reportedly<\/a>\u00a0kept Curry\u2019s stroke a secret for a year, but in the end, his health was leaked to the Daily Mail.
