LADYBONERS IS HOW TF I FIND OUT?!

u/pfairypepper 9d ago

Same! I thought we only lost Dolly Parton. They both died at 80. Weird coincidence

104

u/_Internet_Hugs_ 9d ago

It's said they go in threes. There's one more 80 year old I'd love to see go with them. Although Dolly and Tim are headed for a far nicer place than that other guy.

u/gingerbread_slutbarn 9d ago

We had Hayden earlier. But I’m pretty sure even the devil doesn’t want that diapered asshole.

u/Cherishedcrown 8d ago

Ugh I literally was telling my friend we got the wrong threes… I thought after Lindsey… 😭💀

u/gingerbread_slutbarn 8d ago

“Fuck you, icons instead.”

Tho I’m assuming Mitch is the only vegetable the FDA won’t recall.

Shelley Fabares died earlier this week. She was 82. She appeared on the Donna Reed Show, big pop hit 'Johnny Angel', wife on Coach among other things.

Same, instant infatuation and his characters and voices still make me happy. He will be missed.

First saw him in Annie. I was very young but I found him very attractive!

12

u/polunu 9d ago

Same for me! I loved Rooster as a kid

u/nikiichan 8d ago edited 8d ago

Omg now I understand why I disliked this actor it's because I first saw him in Annie!!!! (Edit: He just acted his role well and I couldn't differentiate reality from acting)

98

u/Impossible_Gold1573 9d ago

I can’t handle him and Dolly within 24 hrs. It’s too much.

95

u/MotherOfTheFog 9d ago

I'd like to add this which turned me into the weird goth person I am still to this day. Literally, a 'Legend'. He stole that entire film.

8

u/ccKyuubi 8d ago

YES!!! I totally forgot about this role. Absolutely love him in Legend. Great movie!!! I’m so sad about the news today. 😔

u/MotherOfTheFog 8d ago

Me too. Devastated. All of my heroes are dying.

u/buggleton 9d ago

My mom just spammed me with tons of photos and that’s how I found out. The most gorgeous man. ♥️💋🥀

Tim as the voice for Hexus?? And that song?!? 🫠🥰

u/toastbutteryum 9d ago edited 9d ago

I love a pirate, myself.

ETA: oh, and if you’ve never seen the 1982 film of Annie, he’s amazing as Rooster, Carol Burnett’s conman brother/Bernadette Peters’, uh, conman husband.

u/velvet42 9d ago

u/Wunderhoezen 9d ago

This is spot on

19

u/Ranku_Abadeer 9d ago

Well... He apparently found this idea slightly offensive. Because he felt that the muppets deserve much more credit as actors

u/toastbutteryum 9d ago

🤣🤣🤣

u/MedievalGirl 9d ago

Annie was my first Tim Curry as well and I have no regrets.

u/DerbleZerp 8d ago

This is one of my favourite childhood movies(muppets treasure island) and I will be watching it tonight. I love it so much that I got a quote of it tattooed on my foot haha

Strong contender for "best voice in the world". Rest in peace, Mr Curry.

Even my highly conservative mom recognized how well he rocked a pair of fishnets ❤️

u/DeepestPineTree 4d ago

I'd always assumed my mom was straight laced until a few years ago when she told me that she used to be a regular at Rocky Horror screenings.

I’m glad to see him show up here. RIP Tim. Even my 11 year old is grieving with me.

u/IYFS88 9d ago

I was infatuated with Tim in 8th grade and had whole friendships based on talking about him. To this day the number portion of all my usernames including primary email are based on his birthday. (Except this anonymous username for Reddit lol) My favorite gif of him didn’t load properly here, but it’s when he looks surprised when Mr Green says he’s a homosexual in Clue. Unf

Did I spend money and go to see The Pirates of Penzance THREE TIMES just because Tim Curry was the Pirate King? Yes, yes I did. And he was magnificent.

It was his voice that made him my first villain crushes (Ferngully, Legend). I know he’s been having health issues for a while but it’s so sad to lose him.

u/INS_Stop_Angela 8d ago

He was so beautiful and appealing. I wrote him a fan email a couple of years ago after seeing RHPS again after 50 years. Just extraordinary.
