Tim Curry, the cult icon who defined a generation of midnight moviegoers as Dr Frank‑N‑Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has died at his Los Angeles home aged 80.
Police responded to the residence just after 11pm on Tuesday and, according to law enforcement sources, no foul play is suspected, the key detail as friends and fans begin to mourn a career that spanned stage, screen and voice work for more than five decades.
