April 4, 1932 - September 12, 1992 - American actor.
Anthony's father - actor Osgood Perkins - was the ruler of Broadway in the 1930s, but died when his son was barely 5 years old. A frail, shy actor who did not hide his bisexuality, he started out as a television actor. He played one of the first movie roles with Spencer Tracy in the film adaptation of the play "Actress" .
In 1957, he was nominated for an Oscar - for the film by William Wyler's "Exhortation", which won the "Palme d'Or". He starred in several films with Sophia Loren (Love Under the Elms, etc.), worked with Orson Welles on the adaptation of Kafka's novel The Trial, and in 1961 he was awarded the Cannes Film Festival prize for his role in Do You Love Brahms?
Paradoxically, after Perkins' most famous and memorable role in Psycho, his career went downhill. He became a victim of his own talent: the audience could no longer imagine him in any other role. Perkins starred in three sequel films, one of which he directed. In 1988, for the second and last time he took a director's place on the set (the "black comedy" on the cannibalistic theme "Lucky" did not have much success) .
Anthony Perkins died of AIDS at the age of 60. His wife Berry Berenson died during the September 11, 2001 attacks. She was a passenger on Flight AA-11 from Boston to Los Angeles, which crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Their eldest son, Oz Perkins, is an actor known for such films as "Legally Blonde" and "Unchildren's Movie", the youngest, Elvis Perkins, is a musician.
