what i love about perkins is that he was a very unusual unique guy -- good looking, sensitive and yet very intense unlike for example james stewart -- perkins was no soft guy, he was just strange, and that made his relations to women in films so interesting and powerful to me
I'm still dumbfounded at how Anthony Perkins thought he did an amateurish job directing Psycho 3 - - second only to Psycho 1 it's a TERRIFIC sequel piece!! I recommend it to anyone!
Great! Thanks Norman2Bates. I think "Psycho" was too well written, too well directed by Hitchcock, and too well acted by Perkins for the good of his career. Audiences always thought of him as Norman Bates after "Psycho". I'm glad Perkins didn't see it that way for his own peace of mind.
I thought of Anthony Perkins as a person, not just by the characters he played, which they were all amazingly memorable, i just remember him as a person, and not a character he played.
hoow did he die

Interesting interview. I wonder, did anyone notice Tony has a different accent than he does on screen?

He was so straight forward likable. So sad he died when he did.

What an intelligent guy he was.
Too bad he died at 60.

I didn't think of him as Norman Bates when I just now watched The Trial.
