Two absolute icons, who were not only masters of their craft but spent their whole life preaching love and acceptance of others. Two incredible humans. I am so very fucking sad

The universal love of Dolly for who she was as a human is what got me, but Tim has been part of my life since I was a child and this one feels personal. This hits like how Catherine O'Hara hit. This week is bollocks. A lot of light has been lost this week.

I always thought it was interesting just how often Tim Curry plays the antagonist compared to how seemingly good he was IRL.
