Rocky Horror facts from the Fresh Air interview of Tim Curry: - One of the first known people to start the Rocky Horror audience participation craze was Angie Bowie, David Bowie's first wife. David went to see the movie in the late '70s with a huge entourage. When Riff Raff was about to kill Frank, Angie yelled out, "Don't do it!" A phenomenon was born. - Another early participant in the Rocky cult was Mark Shaiman, more recently composer of the South Park movie and the musical Hairspray. - When Tim met Princess Diana, he assumed that she had never seen Rocky Horror. She surprised him by saying that she had. "It quite completed my education," she claimed. The interview can be streamed here. |
