Lisa Kurtz Sutton is an American Rocky Horror fan. Her history with The Rocky Horror Picture Show began in 1975, when she saw the trailer for the film before it opened at the UA Westwood in Westwood, CA. At the end of it's initial run at the UA Westwood, Sutton became the owner of one of two one-sheets that were displayed at the theater, starting a life-time of Rocky collecting. She went to early screenings of the film at the Nuart and Fox-Venice Theater, and later became a staple at The Tiffany Theater on the Sunset Strip. She appeared as part of both Rocky Horror Revue, The (as a Transylvanian) and The Tiffany Troupe in various roles. Sutton was the the first to use props to the Nuart as she brought noisemakers (for the creation scene) and a teddy bear to hold up during "Eddie's Teddy" to the Nuart in March of 1977 (though she confesses she saw someone carry a teddy bear into a February, 1977 screening at the Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades, giving her the idea.)
