This week, we lost two icons of entertainment: Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.

A legendary singer, songwriter and performer, Dolly Parton also left an indelible mark on film, with memorable performances in 9 to 5, Steel Magnolias and more.

Tim Curry brought an unmistakable presence to stage and screen throughout his remarkable career. He originated the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show before bringing the character to the screen in the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show. His extensive screen career also included unforgettable roles in Clue, Annie, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and many more.

We join audiences around the world in remembering two talents and celebrating the work they leave behind.
