Furter, who passed away this year at the age of 80.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think a lot of people feel it; it\u2019s a bit like when Princess Diana died, when there\u2019s someone that you become so familiar with in your life, even though you\u2019ve never met them, but you see them and the \u2018Rocky\u2019 fans see Tim in that role and in other roles so often, you actually think you know them, and I think that\u2019s a good thing,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cI hope that people with that close knowing of Tim through seeing him in the role of Frank N. Furter and in other roles can just embrace that they do know him; they feel close to him and that he\u2019s always going to be there in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the thing about acting, and musicians. He has such a catalog of work that people are going to be able to revisit, forever, and to see his charm and wit and talents \u2014 the plumber down the street, he doesn\u2019t have that opportunity to pass on his skills or whatever to other people,\u201d said Bostwick. \u201cBut with Tim, you can go back to \u2018It,\u2019 you can go back to all of those wonderful things he did and it\u2019s like he\u2019s not gone, he\u2019s still there. He\u2019s there entertaining you in the same way that he did when he was with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bostwick and Campbell told amNewYork that to see the impact that \u201cThe Rocky Horror Picture Show\u201d has had over the years has been incredible. When the stage show, \u201cThe Rocky Horror Show,\u201d premiered in 1973, it had a successful run, but the cult following really came with \u201cThe Rocky Horror Picture Show\u201d a few years later.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the film was one year old, we had the one-year anniversary in New York, that was the first time I saw it. That\u2019s when we realized when we saw that people were enjoying, you know, dressing up, performing in front of the screen at the cinemas, and, embracing all things \u2018Rocky Horror,\u2019\u201d said Campbell.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven when the film first played its first run, they said that it wasn\u2019t successful. What was so interesting about it was that when it was playing in Westwood or a few other theaters, the same people were coming night after night, even way back then,\u201d said Bostwick.<\/p>\n
