Tim Curry’s Clue Costar Lesley Ann Warren Says He “Struggled” During Final Appearances

Lesley Ann Warren will always remember Tim Curry fondly.

After the Clue actor died on Aug. 25 at the age of 80, his costar shared insight into the months leading up to his death, recalling what she observed of Curry’s health when they reunited for the classic film’s anniversary screenings in May and June.

“As much time had passed, and the awful challenges, physically, he was going through,” Warren told People in an interview published Aug. 31, “it was as if no time had passed.”

“Honestly, my last couple of personal appearances with him, he was struggling so very much,” she continued. “And it was so difficult for him on so many levels, emotionally, psychologically, in terms of his great talent to not be able to do what he loved to do.”

Warren noted that the Rocky Horror Picture Show actor—who was open about his health challenges in the years following his 2012 stroke—was also not doing well “physically.”
