' '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."'

We used to go to midnight showings with full fan participation. What a riot.
Midnight showings of “The Song Remains The Same” were, how shall I say, more subdued! lol
Dang it, the picture first posted and now it’s not.
Little known fact: most of Tim’s costume in the film was ‘nicked’ by him when performing at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow, in the early 1970’s.
Don’t forget him as Dale The Whale in Monk....
I forgot to add: my favorite villain on Wiseguy was Kevin Spacey, as Mel Profitt.
Speaking of wiseguy I hear they try reboot that show
One of classic tv network aka ME TV or Antenna TV should pick up that show
I do remember him play that Record producer in Wiseguy
My fav trilogy was Sonny Steelgrave part of the series
I’m slapping my head.
I can’t believe that I’m on this thread and forgot that it is still showing at theaters, the same rule apples though for first timers, wait for when you are in a good mood and receptive to some silliness.
I have seen it countless times, and loved going to the theater showings.
Oh no! I hope he’s okay. I think it is a really good sign that they said he is already back home. Great actor, great singer and appears to be an all around gentleman. I wish him well.
So he won’t “do the rock” for a while?
I was amused that wiki says that while on stage, most of the actors did their own makeup, but for the movie they hired Mick Jagger’s makeup man.
After I saw the movie a couple of times, I started turning around to look at the audience behind me when Rocky first appeared.
It was easy to spot the “virgins”. And their reactions were priceless.
I loved Rocky Horror Picture Show, I have watched it countless times.
I wish him the best, stroke is awful.
Get well Dr. Frankenfurter.
He is one of my favorite actors.
I saw it with a friend my senior year in high school a late movie one night when we were too drunk to go home and needed some time to sober up. This was when it had just been released and people didn’t dress up and interact with the movie.
Had no clue what it was about before going. When it was over we looked at each other with a WTF was that? Both of us agreed it was the weirdest movie we’d ever seen.
WOW!!! I never realized that was him!!!
My 11 year old can recite every line, song, word for word. She is requesting to go the local movie theater that does the interactive midnight showings for her 12th birthday. I think I may allow it this year. She wants to go as Little Nell.
I will do “The Rock” tonight in his honor.
Yes, he was excellent in the Three Musketeers.
Wow, I forgot how many fabulous things he was in.
I’ll order Indian curry tonight in his honor.
