Time is Fleeting!
The science fiction comedy horror musical, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, directed by Jim Sharman, and starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and many of cast members from the original stage productions, opened in the UK, on this date.
The set had no heat and no bathrooms. When Susan Sarandon told the studio heads, they told her she was complaining too much. She caught pneumonia after filming the pool scene. According to Richard O’Brien, she was “shaking with fever” and “should have been under medical supervision“, but refused to stop working.
