## Resource

Tim Curry, the legendary actor best known for his iconic role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has passed away at 80. Officially, coronary artery disease was the cause of death, with stroke and kidney cancer noted as contributing factors — but not the root cause. No surgeries were performed for these conditions. Despite a major stroke in 2012 that affected his speech and mobility, Curry remained outspoken and resilient, continuing to captivate audiences across five decades of stage, screen, and voice work. His enduring legacy as a true entertainment icon continues to inspire fans around the world. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
