Tim Curry was not an actor who dissolved into a part. Instead, his roles most often became filtered through his distinctive look: an elastic grin and expressive high-arched eyebrows.

He died Tuesday. He was 80. https://wapo.st/4glZ0nh

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor

Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it!
i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that
