While he was an only child and had a huge fear of women, stemming from his mother, do you think Anthony Perkins of the latter days really was that scarred of women? Well, all that changed when Victoria Principle opened him up a bit and he later did marry to a woman until his death, but do you think he changed at all? Was he just a closeted bisexual all along? What do you think when you look at the typical young Anthony Perkins in contrast to the older mature Perkins of the 70s-80s? What do you all think?

Or maybe he liked the checks he was getting as long as he stayed in the closet, like Rock, Hunter and others did...

Now, what a minute...wasn't he also lovers with one of the West Side Story dancers? Forget which one......


Elegant, you may be thinking of Timmy Everett from "The Music Man."

On September 11, 2001 his widow and mother of his two sons, Berry Berenson was one of the 58 victims on AA-11 out of Boston that terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center.

I'm watching Friendly Persuasion (1956) right now...in which Perkins played the role of the oldest son. He was a hotty!

I used to live in Los Angeles. The gossip about Tony Perkins was that he was at least bisexual. He married as much for his career as anything else. As I've said elsewhere, that was the gossip. I can't prove or disprove it.

A good friend of mine was concierge at the Seattle Sheraton, when AP stayed there he asked for coke and a male hustler. My friend, being a good concierge, complied

In the book "Marlon Brando unzipped" - Marlon is portrayed as a complete ram. There are accounts of him sleeping with the who's who of Hollywood. Male and female. I seem to remember AP getting a big mention. There is also a picture of Mr Brando involved in gay oral sex.

Mr Perkins was married to Berry Berenson in 1973 the sister of Marisa Berenson they were the grand daughters of the famous clothing designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Tony Perskins had previously had a long love affair with Tab Hunter and later had aversion therapy to try to overcome being gay. He had a very troubled sad double life; he died 12, September 1992. Berry Berenson died on American Airlines flight 11 on 11 September 2001. They had two children Elvis Perkins and Oz Perkins. He was a very handsome man and much taller in real life than you expected.

Years ago there was this old (even then) guy whose claim to fame was that he butt-plowed Anthony Perkins in Pere Lachaise cemetery once.

I was just looking though my books and went through Philippe Halsman A Retrospective. I think my favorite photo of him (and everyone else who did it including Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and The Duke and Duchess of Windsor) was his contribution to the jumpology series.

That book is a complete work of fiction.
