Quentin Couprie

Police were called to a North Hollywood home just before midnight on August 25, 2026, and by morning the news had spread across every corner of pop culture: Tim Curry was gone at 80. Los Angeles authorities found no signs of foul play, and no cause of death has been made public. The actor had lived for over a decade with the aftermath of a 2012 stroke that left him unable to walk, a limitation he described bluntly at a Rocky Horror anniversary event less than a year ago.

A skinny eight-year-old kid wanders the streets of North Cambridge in a low-budget drama nobody remembers today, “The Dark End of the Street.” That kid grew up to co-write and star in “Good Will Hunting,” snag an Oscar for “Argo,” and become one of the most bankable names in American cinema. Forty five years later, he’s swapped his child actor shoes for a director’s chair, prepping a Netflix thriller called “Animals” that lands this October.

Taylor Sheridan had every intention of walking away once “Yellowstone” wrapped. He’d already handed over cash for a ranch in Weatherford, Texas, ready to trade script pages for saddle leather for good. Then a much bigger property changed everything: the historic Four Sixes Ranch, a sprawling spread in King County that had stayed in the Burnett family since 1870.
