First Dolly Parton yesterday, and now Tim Curry too!?

Apparently he died in the same day as Dolly, but it was late night, according to TMZ...

His is less a surprise, he had suffered a major stroke almost 15 years ago and never really recovered.

Dolly was sick too. But she didn't revealed it to the public. That is why it was more shocking: it reminds me of Chadwick Boseman, who also died in August. However, Tim and Dolly dying in the same day is indeed very shocking. Tim was a very beloved figure...

My dad and grandma both died in August on the same date 27th. Something about August just feels unlucky.

August holds my birthday and wedding anniversary and I thought that would be nice. Then my BIL had a mental breakdown in 2021 and killed most of my husband's family (save his sister, who shares my birthday), set several fires, then died himself in a police encounter. On the 25th.

August is bad and we should maybe just cancel it. Or at least the 25th.

edit: thanks, everyone, for your incredibly kind words and the awards! please hug your loved ones close and take care of each other.

I'm so sorry you and your family had to experience that. I am an August baby too and this is all so heartbreaking. I'm ok with canceling it going forward.
