Luke Evans' Heartfelt Note to Tim Curry

Luke Evans, a Tony-nominated actor, recently revealed he sent a heartfelt letter to the late Tim Curry, the original Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Curry passed away at age 80 on August 26th, following complications from a stroke and kidney cancer. Evans shared that Curry was appreciative of the note but was extremely ill and struggling to communicate when he received it.

Evans, who recently completed his own Tony-nominated run as Dr. Frank-N-Furter on Broadway, felt a profound connection to Curry. He noted the strange coincidence that news of Curry's death began with his iconic role, a role Evans had just embodied. The actor expressed that Curry's performance in the 1975 film adaptation was groundbreaking, liberating audiences and giving a voice to those finding their identity.
