I love this book review and I will be very interested to read his biography. I don't think people understand how difficult is to create different personalities for the different roles and the talent needed to do just that. Many of our contemporary actors can play only themselves which is why so many films are flat and boring.
I saw one good Rocky Horror Show theatre performance back in Dublin but haven't been to others since. The posters did not give me the impression that they would be good. I saw an advertised production that even casted a woman for the role which is to tell you that they have completely missed the point.
P.S Did you manage to write this without doing the Time Wrap dance?
Thanks for bringing Tim's book "Vagabond" to our attention. I just went and picked up the audiobook version from Audible. I'm amazed to see that he seems to be narrating the whole ten and a half hours himself, but it's also heartbreaking to hear him struggling with the words. What an absolute trooper!
As soon as I saw you had written a large article about the amazing Tim Curry, I thought he had passed away. Don't do that to us Andrew 😍

The GOAT.
I would like to have seen the movie Amadeus, have Tim as the lead, playing it with more charisma and being more convincing.
I was lucky enough to see him be the original Frankenfurter on the London stage - a dangerous thing at such an impressionable age, (18).
It’s strange: to have huge affection and regard for someone you’ve never met.
