Publisher Description
This memoir is a celebration of Tim Curry's’s life’s work, and a testament to his profound impact on the entertainment industry as we know it today.
There are few stars in Hollywood today that can boast the kind of resume Tony award-nominated actor Tim Curry has built over the past five decades. From his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to his iconic depiction as the sadistic clown Pennywise in It to his critically acclaimed role as the original King Arthur in both the Broadway and West End versions of Spamalot, Curry redefined what it meant to be a “character actor,” portraying heroes and villains alike with complexity, nuance, and a genuine understanding of human darkness.
Now, in his memoir, Curry takes readers behind-the-scenes of his rise to fame from his early beginnings as a military brat to his formative years in boarding school and university, to the moment when he hit the stage for the first time. He goes in-depth about what it was like to work on some of the most emblematic works of the 20th century, constantly switching between a camera and a live audience. He also explores the voicework that defined his later career and provided him with a chance to pivot after surviving a catastrophic stroke in 2012 that nearly took his life.
With the upcoming 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the 40th anniversary of Clue, there’s never been a better time for Tim to share his story with the world.
Customer Reviews
Loved this book!
I have loved Tim Curry my entire life. This book was written so well, and I finally feel like I got to know the man that I’ve admired for all time. I’m also astonished that there are so many things that we have in common in our personalities.
One Great Story
I found this book totally enjoyable and entertaining. I am so glad that Mr. Curry has taken the time to share his life experience with us. This book is now one of my favorite audiobooks, and I look forward to playing again in the not too distant future.
A wonderful way to spend a lazy Sunday.
Thank you, Tim, for inviting us in. I particularly enjoyed listening to this book as your diction has been imprinted on me since childhood. This was a treat.
