Who will inherit Tim Curry’s astonishing $8 million net worth? What we know as actor dies at 80

Tim Curry, renowned character actor and star of the iconic film "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," has passed away at the age of 80. Curry, who passed away at his Los Angeles home on Wednesday, suffered a stroke in 2012 which left him wheelchair-bound. His passing was confirmed by his longtime manager and friend Marcia Hurwitz. No specific cause of death was disclosed.

Curry was celebrated for his eccentric humor, smooth complexion, and versatile voice acting skills. He garnered three Tony nominations for his performances in "Spamalot," "My Favorite Year," and "Amadeus," as well as an Emmy nomination in 1994. In 1993, Curry shared with The Associated Press his fascination with exploring the "more curious corners of the human mind and human behavior," explaining that it was where he found the most intriguing material for his roles.

Curry's breakthrough role came in the early 1970s as the flamboyant Transylvanian, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, in the sci-fi musical "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Following this, he continued to make his mark on stage and screen, including a memorable performance as the smug concierge in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York."
