Notable quotes

“It's much more a matter of playing the characters as they were written by the authors, because of the liberties that have been taken with pretty much all of them. They've all been distorted in one way or another, because the authors have hardly stuck to the facts.”
— Tim Curry Plunges Ahead Into the Past, Part IV (January 24, 1990)
“I think that if you get too close to the character, if you do too much historical research, you may find yourself defending your view of a character against the author's view, and I think that's terribly dangerous.”
— Tim Curry Plunges Ahead Into the Past, Part IV (January 24, 1990)
“I don't fear death. I try to avoid it — as I think we all do. But I suspect that in the end I will welcome it. … I think it may be very comforting to go bye-bye. And I want to earn it. … I want to earn the privilege of not being here. … I'm not galloping towards it.”
— Interview with Ben Mankiewicz on CBS Sunday Morning (19 October 2025)

Overview

Timothy Cullen Curry (September 18, 1938 – April 24, 2009) was an American attorney who served as the District Attorney of Tarrant County, Texas from 1972 until his death in 2009. Curry was selected to run for District Attorney of Tarrant County after the original choice for nominee backed out just before the 1972 election. Curry was 34 years old when he took office on November 27, 1972. He was first elected as a Democrat but switched to the Republican Party in 1990, along with other Tarrant County elected officials who followed a change in the political leanings there. Curry died shortly after midnight on April 24, 2009, at the age of 70 of complications of lung cancer. The Tarrant County justice center was renamed to Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center shortly after his death. Curry was the prosecutor in the trial of oilman T. Cullen Davis.
