Tim Curry with Dori Hartley
Dori Hartley was (and is) the most celebrated of all Fran N Furter shadow-casters. Emerging from the New York group that created the The Rocky Horror Picture Show Official Fan Club, Dori Hartley was synonymous with the part of Frank N Furter beginning in 1976, before the concept of shadow-casting was defined. Dori's performances became legendary early on for both her robust interpretation of Frank N Furter at the 8th Street Playhouse as well as for her illustrations and fan fiction in the national newsletter, The Transylvanian. Dori's performance is immortalized in a cameo in the promotional film for "Paradise Garage" by Tim Curry,which was shown in theaters nationally before The Rocky Horror Picture Show in support of his 1979 LP "Fearless."


Hartley went on to be a multi-talented artist with a long list of accomplishments in the fields of acting, music, painting and writing. A true creative soul, Hartley is committed to a personal goal of creating one work of art each day.
