British actor Tim Curry, best known for his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,' died of coronary artery disease at age 80. His spokesperson confirmed the cause of death, noting that Curry had a history of stroke and kidney cancer, which contributed to his passing. He passed away in his Los Angeles home on August 25.
