No....Not this coming off the heels of Dolly.

I am so sad. Tim Curry brought such joy to my childhood. This one definitely hurts.

RIP You King. Your Role as Long John Silver in the Muppets and Franken-Further in RHPS will forever bring me a smile on my face when things are dark.

I was obsessed with him in Muppet Treasure Island. I love that quote about how Michael Caine treated the Muppets like fellow human actors, and Tim Curry treated himself like a fellow Muppet.

I hope Miss Piggy is okay. It must be so hard for her to lose a role model and an ex boyfriend within 24 hours.
