Actor Tim Curry, known for cult and mainstream roles including Dr. Frank-N-Furter in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and Pennywise the clown in Stephen King’s “It,” dies at age 80. Rolling Stone and other outlets report that he dies Tuesday night, with coverage based on US reporting.

Several sources describe Curry’s career across film, television, and stage. They note his breakout in London theatre, his return to the “Rocky Horror” role in the 1975 film, and his later visibility through the 1990 TV miniseries adaptation of “It.” Other widely cited screen credits include “Clue,” “Annie,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” and “Muppet Treasure Island.”

Outlets also differ in the amount of personal-health detail they include. Jamaica Observer and HuffPost UK cite that Curry had struggled with health issues after a debilitating stroke in 2012 and say he died at his Los Angeles home, citing TMZ and unnamed sources. Other outlets focus more on his signature characters and major credits, without adding cause-of-death information.
