Tim Curry Makes Rare Public Appearance To Accept Award From The Actors Fund –– 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' Star In 8 Photos

Tim Curry made a rare appearance Sunday at a Los Angeles-based Tony Awards Viewing party, where the Rocky Horror Picture Show said he was "doing well," and received an award.

A wheelchair-bound Tim Curry, who suffered a stroke three years ago, was awarded the Actors Fund Lifetime Achievement Award at the glamorous event.

The actor, who played the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the cult classic, said he'd been "looking forward" to collecting the honors at the Skirball Cultural Center.

The 69-year-old was honored by the organization, which helps families of late actors with funeral costs.

Curry, with agent Marcia Hurwitz, said of his involvement: "I've done a few benefits for the Actors Fund and I think it's a marvelous organization -- I hope not to have to use it!"

The resilient Home Alone 2: Lost in New York star said that despite his health woes, it's "part of his DNA" to persevere.

The English actor suffered a stroke in July 2012 at his Los Angeles home in the Hollywood Hills.

Curry has also carved out a legacy for his voice-over work, having lent his talents to productions such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Wild Thornberrys, and Transformers: Rescue Bots.
