Annie Potts' Heartfelt Tribute to Tim Curry

Annie Potts recently paid a heartfelt tribute to her longtime friend, neighbor, and colleague, Tim Curry. The beloved British actor passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at the age of 80.

Potts shared a touching message on social media, calling Curry her best man, neighbor, and uncle to her sons. She reminisced about the life lessons he imparted, including friendship, cooking, design, and gardening, while also mentioning she taught him to fish.

The actress also shared a cherished photo from her 1990 wedding day with Curry by her side. The post featured Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" playing in the background. Potts and Curry shared a close bond and collaborated on screen, appearing as a couple in "Pass the Ammo" and "Over the Top."

Curry lived with lasting complications after a near-fatal stroke in his mid-60s, which left him paralyzed. He openly discussed his recovery, relearning to talk and adapting to life in a wheelchair, often with his signature humor, as noted in his 2025 memoir, "Vagabond."
