Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank-N-Furter – ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ 2016 Remake

Cox told People that Tim Curry really inspired her when he was in the original Rocky Horror Picture Show. Cox revealed: When I saw Tim Curry for the first time in that film, I was sort of in a gender-nonconforming space. I had a shaved head and was starting to wear makeup, and I was exploring my gender more — and here was this character who was just so unapologetically themselves, and it gave me permission to not just dream it but to be it.
