45. TIM CURRY
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

Androgynous glam-rockers feel so 1970s now. But Curry's insane, inspired riff on the whole David Bowie-Ziggy Stardust thing, as the lipsticked, fishnetted, self-declared ''sweet transvestite'' Dr. Frank-N-Furter, hasn't tarnished a bit. By the time Curry aims his polysexual pelvic thrusts at captive guests Janet (Susan Sarandon) and Brad (Barry Bostwick), he hasn't just broken down his guests' reserve — he's smashed the audience's, too.
