Tim Curry, the beloved British actor who rose to fame in campy style with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”, is recovering from a stroke in his Los Angeles home.
Curry reportedly suffered a “major” stroke but is said to be in good spirits despite rumors that he was having trouble speaking.
“Tim is doing great,’ said his longtime Los Angeles agent Marcia Hurwitz. “He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humor.”
At 67, Curry has had a long and fruitful career; however, in 2011 he backed out of a role in “Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead” due to ill health.
