Love It Or List It's Hilary Farr's Unexpected Musical Past

In one of the opening scenes of the 1975 cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," Janet and Brad, played by Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick respectively, attend Betty Monroe's wedding. Monroe is played by a young Hilary Farr clad in a larger-than-life '70s-style wedding dress. "I hardly was a co-star!" Farr laughed during a 2015 interview with Baltimore Media Blog, "I didn't even have a speaking part."

The interior designer added, "I was extremely young, and all my friends were a part of that film. They liked my work and decided to create a part for me out of nothing. It was great fun." According to Farr, she also lived below the legendary Tim Curry at the time, who played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the movie (via PopSugar). "Rocky Horror" wasn't Farr's only onscreen role in the '70s either. 

She appeared in 1975's "Legend of the Werewolf" and 1979's "City on Fire" alongside A-listers like Ava Gardner, Shelley Winters, and Henry Fonda. In all three films, Farr was credited under the stage name "Hilary Labow." In 1989, nearly 20 years before she would land her first HGTV gig, Farr starred in the short-lived Broadway play "Run for Your Wife."
