I recently asked how Tim Curry's work impacted your life, and across Patreon, Bluesky, and YouTube, hundreds of people responded with amazing, deeply personal stories. I expected to hear about watching Rocky Horror at parties, but that was just one small slice: I heard about gay awakenings, bi awakenings, lesbian awakenings, trans awakenings; about people discovering their career calling; about forming chosen family, and about finding connections with biological family.

Most of all, those comments told a lovely story about how Tim Curry's work changed countless people's lives over the last fifty-plus years. I'll be sharing that story in a new video going live tomorrow on YouTube at 9am pacific. Head over here and click the bell icon to get a notification. (As always, members at $10+/month get ad-free access.)

Huge thanks to everyone who commented -- I could only feature a handful of comments in this video, but I read every single one and I loved hearing about all different roles/movies/shows/songs/etc that touched your life! You've given me lots more Tim Curry to discover, what a wonderful gift.

How Tim Curry Changed Your Life

Hundreds of people told me how Tim Curry changed their lives, in roles like Frank-N-Furter, Long John Silver, Pennywise, and Nigel Thornberry; in films like Clue, Annie, Fern Gully, and Home Alone 2; and on shows like Psych and Over the Garden Wall; specials like The Worst Witch and the Steven King It miniseries; and video games like Red Alert III and Gabriel Knight. People described Tim as their gay awakening, their bi awakening, their lesbian awakening, and their trans awakening. He awakened interests in nerdy fandoms, and in careers from acting to environmentalism. And he helped form unexpected connections with family -- both biological and chosen, with Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow-casts. How could one man have done so much? Let's dig in to the incredible career (and even more incredible impact) of Timothy James Curry. Thanks to Emma for the edit help with this video!
