Peter Hinwood (Rocky Horror) Hinwood stopped acting after The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and now works as an antiques dealer in London. He decided not to ride the Rocky road to superstardom because he prefers a quiet life. He's also said that he knows he can't act, and he cringes whenever he watches himself as Rocky.
Curry has used a wheelchair since having a major stroke in July 2012. As a result, he has shifted his work mostly to voice acting, although Curry has continued to perform as a singer and make appearances at fan conventions.
After Rocky Horror, he also had a bit role in Paul Humfress and Derek Jarman's homoerotic Roman historical drama Sebastiane. Hinwood is now an antiques dealer in London and lives most of the time in Tangier.

What happened to Brad and Janet after Rocky Horror?
Janet is now known as Janet Majors in this film, having married Brad sometime prior. She and Brad return to Denton to find that it has been taken over by Farley Flavors, a fast food magnate, who plans to turn the town into a reality television show owned by the Denton Television network.
Initial reception was extremely negative, but it soon became a hit as a midnight movie, when audiences began participating with the film at the Waverly Theater in New York City in 1976.
BRAD: Brad Majors. This is my fiancée, Janet "Vice." JANET: Weiss. Brad's little Freudian slip here either means he is subconsciously aware of Janet's kinkiness, or he is not-so-secretly hoping for her to be less innocent than she appears to be.
What is inappropriate in Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Expect frequent sexual innuendo, implying erections, sexual desire, and group sex. "Dammit" and "goddammit" are heard. Violence includes a dead body in a glass table, characters killed by lasers, and the implication that a man was killed with a pickax.
You will be marked with a "V" and asked to participate in a Virgin "sacrifice." This can vary from repeating a chant after the cast to air-humping others on stage. You are not required to participate in anything you are not comfortable doing! It's all for fun.
1. It's A Celebration of Difference. In a world where conformity is often celebrated, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a breath of fresh air. It celebrates those who are different, and it does so in a way that is both humorous and empowering.
Adapted from the London stage, the Rocky Horror Picture Show tells the story of Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry), a mad-scientist transvestite who animates a gorgeous tow-headed stud named Rocky. Much song, dance, innuendo and violence ensues with an ensemble cast including a 28-year-old Susan Sarandon.
Interiors filmed, fittingly, at Hammer Films' old Bray Studio near Maidenhead in Berkshire. Frank-N-furter's mansion is, conveniently, alongside the studio, and has naturally figured in a whole slew of horror movies. It was Oakley Court, a Victorian Gothic folly that lay for many years in a state of disrepair.
Meat Loaf was initially cast in The Rocky Horror Picture Show based on his prior working relationship with the film's creator, Richard O'Brien. O'Brien had seen Meat Loaf in the musical Hair and was impressed by his performance.
Curry had a major stroke, which meant he had to use a wheelchair indefinitely. The star went through rounds of speech and physical therapy following the event. The actor hasn't worked on stage or in a live action film role since his stroke, but he has returned to TV and voiceover work.
Curry also built an impressive career around doing voice work, appearing on television, and even releasing several rock albums. However, things changed when he suffered from a serious stroke in 2012. While he recovered and began doing physical therapy, he still relies on a wheelchair.
He lost the use of his legs and now requires a wheelchair for mobility. However he is still able to speak lucidly and has done Q&A sessions at conventions. Since recovering from his stroke he has also voiced Auntie Whispers in Over the Garden Wall (2014)
But please remember to follow the simple three-step guide of clothes that should never be worn to Rocky, as follows: Suits. These are only worn by people who thought they were booking for Phantom of the Opera and called the wrong number. Sandals, anoraks or anything with a touch of the trainspotter.
Patricia Quinn played the original roles of Usherette and Magenta on stage in 1973, and is the owner of the sultry lips from the opening number of the 1975 film adaptation.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a movie about liberating yourself and showing your own originality. The beauty of expression is showcased by the millions of fans who dress up and party like there is no tomorrow in the theaters.
In his book Cosmic Light: The Birth Of A Cult classic (still my favourite book on the subject of Rocky Horror), author Jim Whittaker points out that different prisoners were made to wear different symbols (a Star of David for Jews, a pink triangle for homosexuals, and a red triangle for political prisoners).
And it rolls nicely off the tongue. But why was the play called The Rocky Horror Show? Well, the character of Rocky is credited as "Rocky Horror." Plus, his name evokes the pastiche of the show, which mixes various homages to classic horror and sci-fi flicks with glam rock. Rock(y) + horror = Rocky Horror.

To a lot of people, RHPS is more than a movie; it's a community and a safe place for people who feel like outcasts and weirdos to be themselves.

But O'Brien didn't want to get rid of the songs he already wrote, so he penned a new script around the songs (even rewriting some parts of the lyrics with new scenarios). The new script was titled as "The Brad and Janet Show" as a parallel story of the couple Brad Majors and Janet Majors (now married).
