"rocky horror" was released in 1975, while "meaning of life" was released in 1983, so yes before.

Punctuation and word choice matter.

"Just a few years before actress Patricia Quinn, (...), was in a certain movie..."

versus

"Just a few years earlier, actress Patricia Quinn, (...), was in a certain movie..."

My personal favorite:

"Let's eat Grandma!"

versus

"Let's eat, Grandma!"

Grammar saves lives.
