An Iconic Clown
Remember the movie It? This film has lived quite vividly in the minds of many as horrifying and terrible because of one character in particular. That’s right, the clown! No more are clowns the image of cute birthday parties and magic tricks — the clown from It did away with that and ushered in a new fear for many.
In this photo, we see Tim Curry taking a smoke break in the cold rain on the set of the 1990 version of It. During filming, many of the child actors were scared of Curry. The actor recalls a scene in which he had to grab a child from a gutter, and the kid stopped acting and said he was scared. Curry replied then that the child’s genuine fear meant he was doing his job correctly!
