This Wasn’t Tim Curry’s First Corset
Tim Curry took on a lot of roles in theatre, film, and television, but what really got him started was his part in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This was such a large role that people can forget he wasn’t coming into this role without experience. In fact, Curry had just starred in a similar stage show before he took on Frank N. Furter in The Rocky Horror Show.
He had also worn a corset in the production of The Maids. Also, it was designed by Sue Blane, the same costume designer from the Rocky Horror film. Blane had ended up using the same corset for the Rocky Horror production as he did for the previous stage show, and she even made a comment about how Curry took to the corset “like a duck to water.”
