Tim Curry took the cue from the characters name. The actor began the stage production by playing Frank N. Furter as German. Then suddenly, out of the blue, he heard a woman on a bus speaking with a posh accent.
Curry, then decided that he should sound like the Queen. It’s clear that he saw the making of the film as a serious business. Even people who haven’t seen the film yet would enjoy his accent.
“Science Fiction/Double Feature” Had A Different Singer
Patirica Quinn took the Magenta role just so she could sing “Science Fiction/Double Feature” on stage. But, when it came time to film the movie, it was decided that O’Brien should sing the song instead.
It was no surprise that Quinn wasn’t happy, but she did get an awesome consolation. The iconic lips that sing the song in the opening credits? Yeah, those red lips are hers and it remains a pivotal piece of the movie today.
The Reveal Of Eddie’s Body Genuinely Shocked The Cast
For the infamous dinner party scene, Furter reveals that his guests have been feasting on Eddie. Sharman only told Curry, who had to pull away the tablecloth to reveal Eddie’s corpse.
What a surprise of the scene that was! The rest of the cast was genuinely shocked by the reveal of the body. Not only was that their real reaction to the corpse, but the fact they didn’t break character altogether is really impressive. For the role of Magenta, Little Nell was cast based on one skill. Her special talent that landed her the role is just ahead!
