  "summary": "Tim Curry, the iconic actor known for his roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, Annie, and It, passed away at the age of 80 in Los Angeles on August 25, 2026, leaving behind a career spanning more than five decades and an estimated net worth of US$8 million. Curry's wealth was primarily built through stage performances, major film roles, television work, and extensive voice-over projects, with notable earnings from his portrayal of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Rooster Hannigan, and Pennywise the Clown. However, a near-fatal stroke in July 2012 significantly impacted his financial standing, as it limited his mobility and restricted him to primarily voice-over work and roles that didn't require physical exertion.",
