full of life. Come for the career stay for the celebrity encounters: impromptu dinners with
David Bowie after stage performances of The Rocky Horror Show working through bowls of cocaine
at Studio 54 with Truman Capote and Andy Warhol and a hilariously catty encounter with Donald
Trump on the set of Home Alone 2' Guardian There are few stars in Hollywood today that can
boast the kind of resume Emmy award-winning actor Tim Curry has built over the past five
decades. From his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to his
iconic depiction as the sadistic clown Pennywise in It to his critically acclaimed role as the
original King Arthur in both the Broadway and West End versions of Spamalot Curry redefined
what it meant to be a "character actor " portraying heroes and villains alike with complexity
nuance and a genuine understanding of human darkness. He's had dozens of roles across movies
TV shows and musicals lent his instantly recognizable voice to dozens of voice roles
audiobooks and videogames and he's changed the lives of countless fans in the process. Now
in his memoir Curry takes readers behind-the-scenes of his rise to fame from his early
beginnings as a military BRAT with difficult family dynamics to his formative years in
boarding school and university to the moment when he hit the stage for the first time. He goes
in-depth about what it was like to work on some of the most emblematic works of the 20th
century constantly switching between a camera and a live audience. He also explores the
voicework that defined his later career and provided him with a chance to pivot after surviving
a catastrophic stroke in 2012 that nearly took his life. With the upcoming 50th anniversary of
The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the 40th anniversary of Clue there's never been a better
time for Tim to share his story with the world. *A Sunday Times bestseller October 2025
