Lesley Ann Warren is remembering her final public appearances with her late Clue co-star Tim Curry.
Curry died peacefully at his Los Angeles home on Aug. 25. He was 80.
Warren, who played Miss Scarlet opposite Curry’s Wadsworth in the 1985 murder mystery, reunited with him for several 40th-anniversary screenings this spring.
Despite the decades that had passed, seeing Curry again felt “as if no time had passed,” Warren told People in an August 31 interview.
Curry suffered a major stroke in 2012 that left him paralyzed and using a wheelchair. Warren said the effects had become increasingly visible during their final appearances.
At a June screening in San Francisco—the last time she saw Curry—he was “struggling so very much.”
Only one month earlier, however, Curry had been “in his absolute glory” at a screening in Anaheim, Calif., said Warren.
His physical limitations remained, but she says she could still see the personality, wit and presence she remembered from making Clue.

As Wadsworth, Curry races through the mansion while reenacting the night’s murders, delivering enormous monologues at breakneck speed. He also performed multiple solutions to the mystery for the movie’s three alternate endings.
Warren said the cast never saw him hesitate or complain.
To her, it was like “watching this magician pull this brilliance out of his hat every time.”
Curry later revealed that filming the endings had taken a greater toll than his co-stars realized. After completing the climactic material, he was sent to the hospital and treated for high blood pressure.
The comedy initially struggled at the box office after its 1985 release, but found a devoted audience through television and home video.
Its alternate endings, quotable dialogue and Curry’s whirlwind performance eventually transformed Clue into a cult classic.
