Was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the lead pipe? Perhaps it was Mrs. Peacock with the knife in the kitchen. Or could it have been Mrs. White in the billiard room with the rope?

In 1985 a cast of hilarious actors brought Clue, the Whodunit board game, to life on film. Donning 1950s garb, they were locked in a creepy, albeit classy, mansion with Mr. Boddy and a slew of unfortunate guests. The actors filled the movie with dry humor and wit on its way to becoming an ‘80s classic. Aside from avoiding suspicion, what have they been up to?

As Wadsworth the fast talking, exuberant butler, Tim Curry led the cast. In the same year Clue premiered he terrified audiences in Legend and later as the evil clown Pennywise in Stephen King’s It, then moved on to The Hunt for Red October, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Congo, Muppets Treasure Island, Charlie’s Angels, and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. He appeared in or voice acted in episodes of the TV shows Wiseguy, The Legend of Prince Valient, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, The Pirates of Dark Water, Dinosaurs, and had a starring voice role in The Wild Thornberrys.
