I actually had my passport on me and I pulled it out and I said, still think I'm an imposter? And she said, oh, Mr. Curry, I'm so sorry. Please come back in. And I said, I wouldn't dream of coming back in. And I saw it once on the strip in L.A. because I was doing a gig there with my band when I was making records and
I took them up to the balcony to see it, and I remember my drummer coming out and saying, we don't have to dress up like that, do we? I said, no, you really don't, and I shan't be either. But it was odd. I mean, it's a very peculiar experience. I mean, the first person to actually shout back in the theater was David Bowie's first wife, Angie.
I remember when Bowie came and he brought this huge entourage and she was with him. And when Richard O'Brien was about to kill me, she shouted, no, no, don't do it. And... So I guess she was one of the first people to sort of do that. And Mark Shaman, who's the sort of famous composer now, was one of the first to actually talk back in the Waverly. I think he began it here in New York.
And now, of course, it's everywhere.
Yes.
Well, he, alas, was dead because he died when I was 12. So he wasn't even aware that I was an actor even. I think my mother... My mother, who, you know, is really like one of those sort of Monty Python ladies, you know. I can't imagine what's going on. You know, who always had a hat and... Since my first job in the theater was hair and, you know... And you were probably naked in that, right?
And I did appear naked in it. I think, you know, it was a relief to her that I actually was wearing clothes of any kind in the Rocky Horror Show.
She was happily unaware that part of the character, particularly Frank and Ferter, at his most gracious, was based on her. LAUGHTER Well, it was sort of her telephone voice, you know. Do you have any tattoos, Brad? My sister, when she saw it, fell on the floor and said, you know, does she know? And I said, no, she has absolutely no idea, and please don't tell her.
She thought it was very, very amusing and brought all her friends. So she was a pretty hip lady, my mother, and she got it. I mean, you know, astonishingly, she loved it. She didn't like it as much as the Pirates of Penzance, which I did at Drury Lane. because the Queen Mother came to that, and that was the total seal of approval of my career.
I don't think she went to either, although Princess Margaret did come to Rocky Horror and had a wonderful time.
And Princess Diana actually requested to meet me because she was such a Rocky Horror fan.
I did actually meet Princess Diana. We, I was doing a production of love for love. Um, and it was taken to Vienna for British week and we played at the Berg theater and, um, and Prince Charles and Princess Diana were the guests of honor. And, um, Which was when she said that she very much wanted to meet me and so they sort of put me at the end of the receiving line.
And Prince Charles said, I think I've seen you on television. Haven't I seen you on television? I said, yes, sir, I'm sure you've seen me on television. Yes, I thought I'd seen you on television. But Diana said... you were in the Rocky Horror Show. And I said, yes, ma'am, I was. I was, but I'm sure that you haven't seen it. She said, oh, yes. It quite completed my education.
She was a very funny girl and a very beautiful one and sort of a very wicked smile came with that sentence. She was great fun.
