The Truth About Anthony Perkins (1932 - 1992) Anthony Perkins Life Story
Anthony Perkins: a name synonymous with one of cinema's most chilling characters. Yet, his career stretched far beyond the blood-stained shower curtain of Psycho. Anthony Perkins gave his most celebrated performance as the character Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock's legendary film "Psycho." However, he was also an accomplished stage and screen actor in many other productions. His career was cut short at age 60 by AIDS.
Born in New York City, Anthony Perkins was the son of actor Osgood Perkins. His father gained fame as a Broadway star and Hollywood character actor. Work caused Osgood Perkins to be away from his family frequently. Young Anthony, frustrated by the absences and jealous of his father when he returned home, wished that his father would die. Osgood Perkins died suddenly in 1937 of a heart attack when his son was only five years old. Anthony Perkins told interviewers he assumed as a child that his wishes had actually killed his father. Guilt followed Perkins for many years to come.
Anthony Perkins joined the union Actors Equity at age fifteen and began appearing in stage productions. His film debut was 1953's "The Actress" with Spencer Tracy and Jean Simmons. Perkins first gained widespread critical acclaim in 1954 when he replaced John Kerr in the lead role of the Broadway hit "Tea and Sympathy." Two years later he appeared in his second movie "Friendly Persuasion." It earned him a Golden Globe Award for New Actor of the Year and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Returning to Broadway in 1957 in the play "Look Homeward, Angel," Anthony Perkins earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Play. He earned another nomination for his part in the 1960 musical "Greenwillow." Among Perkins' additional film successes were his emotional performance as troubled baseball player Jimmy Piersall in 1957's "Fear Strikes Out" and as a naval officer preparing for the end of the world in 1959's "On the Beach."
