Shared by make-up artist Bart J. Mixon these never before seen photos include shots of Mixon applying Tim Curry’s Pennywise makeup and various shots of Tim fooling around during the make-up process. 

The article also includes several examples of concept designs initially sculpted for the filmmakers to choose from and Mixon explains how the original design “uses the same domed head appliance and wig as the normal Pennywise, but with the addition of three facial prosthetics.”

Tim Curry by John Stoddart - 24th January, 1986. 

Tim Curry and Sally Dexter by John Stoddart - 24th January, 1986. 

"Meeting Tim Curry offstage, you're prepared for anything. Just how much of this stage flamboyance reaches into his own life, his clothes? He wears quiet, played-down clothes that are almost sombre though they are very much in touch and have some humour too. He wears lots of black – black Take Six jeans and black shoes with everything – and mixes monochrome outfits with things like cartoon printed shirts. He doesn’t have many clothes but, he emphasises, those he has he wears a great deal.

'I seem to wear a uniform for about three months and then change it and really I suppose I buy rather a lot of junk. Much of the stuff I have comes secondhand from flea markets.'

He has just been on a spending spree buying up old school blazers as, in two weeks time, he leaves the British production of the show (Rocky Horror) to play the role in Los Angeles before taking it to Broadway in September. He is going to be recognisably British.

'I don’t see much point in spending a lot on clothes unless they’re well cut.' He says. 'I have always wanted just one thing that was special, cut superbly, and my one extravagance since starting the show is my black velvet Saint Laurent jacket.'

His drink of choice

Just read an old Dori Hartley interview in which she said that Tim used to guzzle champagne and Poire Williams (pear brandy) cocktails.  I am now drinking this concoction and am feeling very satisfield :)
