🖤🎭 Remembering Tim Curry
With the news of Tim Curry's passing, we find ourselves looking back at the remarkable career of an actor who gave us some of the most unforgettable characters in film, television, and theater.
And here at the Library, we're especially grateful that his story is already part of our collection—and part of our community.
📖 One of our book clubs recently read Curry's 2025 memoir, Vagabond, which takes readers behind the characters and into the life and career of the man who brought so many memorable performances to the stage and screen.
🎬 We've also pulled together some of the Tim Curry titles available in our collection—including some of the films that made him such an unforgettable presence on screen.
And then there's Frank-N-Furter. 🖤⚡
Every October, we gather for our annual screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and this year, it will carry a little more meaning.
Curry's portrayal of Dr. Frank-N-Furter became his signature role and helped make Rocky Horror the enduring cult classic it remains today.

So this year, we'll watch a little differently. We'll laugh, sing along, celebrate the outrageousness, and remember the extraordinary performer who made Frank-N-Furter—and so many other characters—impossible to forget.
Thank you, Tim Curry, for giving us characters we could never forget. 🖤
