' 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' star Tim Curry is recovering at home following a major stroke.
The 67-year-old actor is said to be "doing fine" and recuperating in Los Angeles following a collapse last night.
His long-time agent Marcia Hurwitz dismissed claims the stroke has affected the 67-year-old actor's speech and insists the star is in good spirits.
She told the The Daily Mail: "Tim is doing great. He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humour."'

Great movie, he should have gotten the Academy Award for best actor.
He was really awesome in “Clue, The Movie”. Funny as hell.
I assume you're implying "Hunt For Red October".
Love everthing he’s been in esp. Oscar.
They left out his role in Hunt For Red October.
Let's do the time warp again. It's just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right
I also liked him as the Devil in Legend. Deliciously evil.
If he's at home already after having a stroke last night, I'd say it wasn't major.
Never saw it.
I do remember him from “It” in his famous role of Pennwise, that horrible clown-monster.
And he did a really fine stint on the long ago series, “Wise Guy” (Ken Wahl) as a crooked Record Studio Producer. I miss that show... the had interesting story lines.
I wish him well in his recovery.
...the villain in Legend, Tom Cruise's early and maybe his first movie. Stole every scene he was in. Hope he's well. We share...something...
I agree. One of my all-time favorites.
Rocky Horror isn’t a movie that you can just rent and check it out, you have to be in a receptive mood, to let it all wash over you.
When you feel goofy and in a good mood, get some wine and some friends and watch it on a big screen with good speakers.
He does evil well... the devil in “Legend” and Cardinal Richilieu in “The Thee Musketeers”.
I really like Wiseguy, too. It was one of the most interesting series I have seen.
He gave a brilliant performance as Mozart in the original stage version of Amadeus, but was oddly dropped for the film version, as the studio wanted an American. Despite Curry being better known in 1984 thanks to the RHPS.
I wish him a speedy recovery.
I’ve always loved the good Dr. Frankenfurter.
How do you do, I
see you’ve met my
faithful handyman.
He’s just a
little strung out
because
when you knocked
he thought you were the
candy man
Or better yet, in a theatre with hard core Rocky fans.
Many moons ago, my girlfriend (now wife) suggested we go to a late movie. I was like a lamb to the slaughter! Rocky totally surprised me with laughter (after the first "what tha...?" wore off). And Tim Curry's mouth was so darn suggestive. Great acting!
The writer of the movie is on the left, played Riff Raff.
