Curry is best known for a range of film, television, and stage roles, and his death this week prompted tributes across entertainment industries. WKYT reported that the Kentucky Theatre’s dedication is intended as a recognition of Curry in connection with the theater’s ongoing presentation of “Rocky Horror.”
