Just randomly remembering Anthony Perkins today and his talent. Having a Psycho movie marathon. Hope you’re resting in peace Mr. Perkins and thanks for sharing your talent with the world.
Anthony Perkins was an average guy. He was an actor, director, artist, musician, husband, father, son, friend. He was flawed, but aren't we all? He was a good person. I miss him.
Lol I’m not gay and even I said he was a pretty good looking guy. He just has one of those pleasant type faces I guess. His calm demeanor suited his looks well also
@@JustinLodes don't need to be gay to admire beauty,,,,bloody hell he was married right up til his death with 2 sons...so,,he wasn't strictly gay now was he? 🤔
As a German I saw him on German TV in the 1960 s in Psycho and The Trial - Orson Welles. I was stunned how perfectly he matched. Still do today. A true immortal Classic!
@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits it was an instant fascination the first time I saw him. He became the person he was portraying,. This is Genius. Even knowing each scene by heart - it still is always fascinating to observe him. I can not say this of any modern Artist in any area...
Tragic, then his widowed wife died in the september 11 attacks one day before the 9th annivesary of his passing on september 12. Almost like his spirit wanted her to join him in the after life just took a tragic event. Feel for the boys tragic way to lose both parents. One to AIDs and other to terrorist attack.
In his biography, he stated that he had never been with a woman, so just assumed he was gay. It was noted that in real life he had a mother who was almost as controlling as the crazy split- personality mother figure in Psycho. For this reason several friends were concerned about Perkins playing the part. Since he'd never been with a women due to his sicko real life mother, he finally was pushed into a relationship with a woman on the movie set of "The life and Times of Roy Bean" and said he then realized that he wasn't gay as he'd always assumed.
patrickbateman93 in my opinion, Anthony Perkins was probably a self hating gay man. Even now, just like in his era, there are still gay men who think they are freaks and think that they can be “cured” by being with a straight woman. But I know it doesn’t work that way. I think that if Anthony Perkins were alive today, people would just enjoy his work and not care about what he did in his private life, as he was a fine actor.
Such a great actor. I can't help but feel bad for him, it seemed like he went to the grave a troubled man (like many AIDS victims, they went to the grave with discreet and shame). I know he would marvel today on the acceptance of LGBT brothers and sisters. It was around filming of Psycho III he was getting sick but he never knew (possibly afraid to know) what it is. It was once a blood sample of his was tested without his consent that the story broke.
He was such an extraordinary actor, I was so scared watching his movie Psycho.....we will truly miss him forever- huge footprints he left. What a special charakter he was!
I wouldn't say he was necessarily a phony .... but he was definitely troubled. Ever see the documentary "Tab Hunter - Confidential" ...? Tab goes into detail about their homosexual relationship, which was definitely taboo in the 1950's.... It was an era when people adored manufactured celebrities, who... were sort of molded into a certain image to represent something that people aspired to being..... I think he was anguished by his feelings and was ultimately very sensitive to what people thought and how they perceived him...... He was involved in strictly homosexual relationships until his late 30's.... and then ultimately decided to marry and have children a little later in life, I think... because he wanted to mold himself into what he considered to be a "man." It breaks my heart to think that he lived in an era when there was a stigma attached to gay people....which is not to say that it doesn't exist now, it's more socially acceptable... but there are a lot of men in Hollywood that I believe are gay, who won't come out because they believe it will damage their career. .... regardless, he was a very intelligent, talented man and that's how he should be remembered.
As Abbe, who actually knew Tony, has stated- Tony was also a family man. He longed for a family and fortunately met Berry and had two sons, now successful in their own lives and careers. Tony's friends were very loyal and protected his privacy. As it should be...
cohenhaywood10 youre right. Tab Hunter, James Dean, Rock Hudson et al. Bores the lot of them. Slot Kinski in there as well. Many an up and coming actor lost out to these bumboys.
No he stated that he had never been with a woman, so just assumed he was gay.

I am into Psycho marathon this week.. so sad this guy passed away so early but his movies are legendary. I searched him online his ending was so tragic and also his wife who died in 9/11. I thought it was one in a million reasons to die. RIP
Boy its crazy how the coverage of white actors and what they've accomplished always never mention their work with Black actors or other ethnic groups. Mr. Perkins was excellent in Mahagony with Diana Ross.
There are lots of black movies these days. I am sure that the black people will cover their own movies as always. I don't like movies that produce racial tension personally. African, Asian or Indians films don't seem to have any racial tension in them. I would never watch an Islamic film personally as I don't go with their philosophy.
@Roberto Varial Dam Right! I'm going to play the race card. And, I'm dealing it from the bottom of the deck. Please don't think I'm bothered by your comment. That may worry some Black people when they get accused of using race to make a point. I only go there when I truly feel race applies to a issue. My opinion. You can feel however. Shit. I don't know you and you dam sure don't know me.
He most likely became infected in the late 70s or early 80s. For the few major actors people know about , thousands of day players passed. It killed the movie and stage industry.
keith parkhill I see what youre saying. Perkins, Brando, Hudson, and Dean, all the actors were riddled with one thing or another. David Niven or Peter Cushing would never have been looked at in this way. Because they were gentlemen.
If it helps, it was around the filming of Psycho III when he was getting sick but didn't know with what. He never got formally tested, it was when a blood sample from a mole removal was illegally tested the press broke the story.
So sad that one of the best actors of all time died of hiv/aids. Watching Psycho 1 - Psycho 4 makes me want to cry, because Anthony Perkins plays a great part. Thanks for the memories, but so sad that your gone. Going to miss you, and the new movies you could have made. RIP, with love to you Anthony Perkins. May God watch over you for ever and ever. Forever in our hearts, Amen. 😓💔
I loved Anthony Perkins no one will ever be able to portray Norman Bates the same way he did, may he RIP. To me Anthony Perkins always resembled George Hamilton they could almost pass as twins both very handsome men.
Before Perkins died he agreed to voice the dentist dr Wolfe in the Simpsons episode Last Exit to Springfield after Clint Eastwood and Anthony Hopkins turned down the role but it never happened because he passed away before the character was going to be recorded and the role was recasted with Hank Azaria instead
I didn’t know he died of AIDS how’d that happen? Was he secretly gay? I know back then it’d be a death sentence for your career if people knew you were gay so I wouldn’t be surprised if he kept that a secret but I’m really curious how that happened. So sad. RIP
I think the late actor Anthony Perkins was a great Hollywood actor,my favor movie of the late actor,is the psycho movies 1960,1983,1986,1990,I have the psycho movies DVDs.if Anthony Perkins was alive today,he will be 90 years old.
I just loved Tony. What a handsome lad...those eyes, that intensity. Phedra, with Mercouri...its best as a young man in love. The secual encounter between Anthony Perkins and the incredible Greek goddess is the most erotic and refined of all sexual encounters I have seen.
I agree with the former James...this is a damn serious desease!! Hope this weirdo never gets confronted with this!!! Stupidity and sheer ignorance are the worst of illnesses!!😣
Yeah, it was one side of his split personality advocating caution as best means of prevention against HIV infection, while his other side was poking holes in his condoms. I guess the roles he played kinda grew on him over the years, or was he a natural to play them?
His life was bery strange to say the least. Please search him on Wikipedia. His mom was a lesbian and after his father died she sexually abused her son even as an adult.
He was a very special actor. So sad his widow died on a plane that crashed into World Trade Center. May they both RIP.
Didn't know that. Wow! 😱
I know! Those poor son's of theirs!
Hi, Haywood! Have a nice day.
Yeah. RIP to both Anthony Perkins and Berry Berenson.
Then where is she?
He seemed like a real sweetheart. RIP 😭💐 may your talents never be forgotten.
Very underrated Actor...RIP!
He didn’t want much

Anthony Perkins was an average guy. He was an actor, director, artist, musician, husband, father, son, friend. He was flawed, but aren't we all? He was a good person. I miss him.
From his biographies, he had an IQ in the nosebleed range, so he was hardly "average".
ferociousgumby I never heard of that before, what do you mean by "IQ in the nosebleed range?"
At very high altitude, some people get a nosebleed.
ferociousgumby I admit Tony P. was intelligent, nearly if not MENSA material. I was close to his mother, Jane.
Sad to say this but "average" guys don't die of aids - like all deaths from this disease it robbed the world of another talented human being...
god he was stunning.
You should see him when he was in psyho he was sooo Beautiful
Mya Hollandia I know that's what I'm referring to
Lol I’m not gay and even I said he was a pretty good looking guy. He just has one of those pleasant type faces I guess. His calm demeanor suited his looks well also
His 2 boys are just as handsome.

I liked Anthony Perkins. He was a great actor! Loved him as Norman Bates
Actually makes me want to cry that he's gone. I wasn't even born when he died, yet I love both him and his films so much.
I feel the same😢
me too
Same. RIP
This title is poorly worded. Incredible actor, real talent, he had something today's actors don't have.
it´s sad that people only remembers him for Psycho.
Her career was excellent, with this title and much more so good. In the theatre he was a genious
May he rest in peace.
Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spiderman) always reminded me of a young Anthony Perkins
seemed such a nice man
Especially to his mother
+Nelson Ayala LMFAO
@@Mr.Spanglish_94 🤣
A boys best friend is his mother! The most underrated quote ever
Psycho is a MASTERPIECE of a film. Anthony was an even GREATER actor. R.I.P. Anthony Perkins.
Yep! he was good actor. R.I.P Anthony Perkins 1932 - 1992.
I love Anthony Perkins!
His wife died on 9/11. Passenger in North Tower plane.
Tragic, then his widowed wife died in the september 11 attacks one day before the 9th annivesary of his passing on september 12. Almost like his spirit wanted her to join him in the after life just took a tragic event. Feel for the boys tragic way to lose both parents. One to AIDs and other to terrorist attack.
This man was incredibly gifted. I bawled my eyes out the day I heard he passed. He was and will always be my favorite actor.
I can't believe they didn't mention "Love Under the Elms" and, especially, "The Trial."
First class movies.
I watched the Trial and I didn't understand it at all, it was very weird.
I don't care wich Problems He had as we all go a little mad sometimes. I will miss Him.
Such a marvelous actor was !!!!
Such a charming actor so sad that he died Rest In Peace man
RIP LEGEND!!!
he was stunning
Anthony Perkins was a best actor, I love his acting he was a great actor. Les miserable. psyco. And other movies as well. May his soul rest in peace.
Bates. The voicing of his name sends shivers down my spine.
A very down to earth decent man, with a TNT smile.
Reminds me a little of Andrew Garfield.
Biopic? Good casting choice.
If they do a movie bout him Andrew Garfield will fit the part
So true. His smile however makes me think of Ralph Fiennes.
Thank you so much for uploading.

k corn What biography are you referring to? I'd like to check it out. Thanks :)
He was bi, I think he had relations with men before, but didnt have his first time with a woman till he was almost 40.

@@robertprewitt5397 Please stop trying to promote your cause...which is what this is.
@@alextepe4309 Yes but he wouldn't be known because He couldn't land a lead acting job. Listen to Rupert Everett.

How did he get HIV

There are still many actors in the closet so not much has changed.
Fakey Yoi, I was speaking to Hollywood and since big-name gay actors are still hiding in the closet, then not much has changed.
I am into Psycho marathon this week.. so sad this guy passed away so early but his movies are legendary. I searched him online his ending was so tragic and also his wife who died in 9/11. I thought it was one in a million reasons to die. RIP
A man for all seasons
God Bless Anthony Perkins. 👍
1:39 Friendly Persuasion - Oscar nomination
Handsome and stylish
We love Anthony very much too!
He was probably bisexual everybody seems to forget that they exist.
I remember hearing that he passed away back in the early 1990's. Good actor in the Psycho films!
There was a great interview with Berry Berenson from a 1992 Premiere Magazine edition.
R.I.P. Legend❤
He was Awesome...
He was excellent in "The Trial." It was based on a Franz Kafka short story. He was Gay.

He was very impressive in Les Miserables which I first saw in Television way back sometime in 1990. He changed as villain there.
He was a great actor and seemed to be a pretty good guy. He sort of reminds me of George Hamilton in that interview. Lol
He most likely became infected in the late 70s or early 80s. For the few major actors people know about , thousands of day players passed. It killed the movie and stage industry.
+Angie B he said he was 40 when he married is that right so he was 40 in 1970

Aids wasn't around until the first documented case in America in1984. It was around before that but not in America.
So gorgeous!

Anthony Perkins an American Icone who did touch the World with his talent! Thanks also to Hitchcock!
They didn't mention the movie "Fear Strikes Out."
Eric Solvesky The didn't mention "The Trial" either.
Eric Solvesky Neither the movie Mahogany
Noah the movie with Burl Ives and Sophia loran under the Elms movie came out in 1958
shitt i love him sm
I would've shipped Tab Hunter and him.
The ONLY Norman Bates❤
One of my favorite movies by Anthony Perkins was desire under the elms starring Burl Ives Sophia Loren and of course Anthony Perkins great movie
amazing actor
I didn’t know he died of AIDS how’d that happen? Was he secretly gay? I know back then it’d be a death sentence for your career if people knew you were gay so I wouldn’t be surprised if he kept that a secret but I’m really curious how that happened. So sad. RIP
Yes he was gay
Yes, he was very conflicted about it. His wife too.
He slept with men until age 39, then married a woman and had 2 son's and went on record to say he'd found happiness.
He also continued having sex with men.
I think the late actor Anthony Perkins was a great Hollywood actor,my favor movie of the late actor,is the psycho movies 1960,1983,1986,1990,I have the psycho movies DVDs.if Anthony Perkins was alive today,he will be 90 years old.
0:35 - thinking to myself " wow, look at the smooth pins on her "
Then camera moves up! 😵
@Broccoli Great comment broccoli - real creative.
I never knew he had kids.
I knew he had a son, but I wasn't aware he married a woman later in life. I figured like Rock Hudson he had a boy toy he was living with.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Perkins

Shouldn't it be 6 years after instead of before !
Norman Bates in Psycho.
How could he have taken PSA 6 years after he died????
+tyamada21 FOR THE LOVE OF &%$$$&$ LOOK AT THE VIDEO IT SAID HE GAVE PSA IN 1986!!
just what I was thinking
He was an amazing man, with unusual talents. I saw him just the other day, and he was taking PSA.
What IS PSA?
Oh - oh - it's OK - Tony just told me. Thanks, Tone
God bless he's soul 😎😢👻
I thought he was fabulous!!
that music just sounds like on friday the 13th movie
How did he get HIV
Although his personal life is none of our business he's was also bisexual and had secret partners
💞💓😭😭😭😭
lamentável era um ator talentoso💔💔💔💔
Pretty Poison in a great Perkins film🔥. It has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes ❤️
he seemed like a cool guy but those sequels of psycho though ugh
I just loved Tony. What a handsome lad...those eyes, that intensity. Phedra, with Mercouri...its best as a young man in love. The secual encounter between Anthony Perkins and the incredible Greek goddess is the most erotic and refined of all sexual encounters I have seen.
I liked them. Psycho III was the weakest though.
@@wildstoneflower That scene in Phaedra was so beautifully done, with the rain outside and the fire burning inside to denote their passion.
He was secretly gay. It’s a shame he couldn’t be his true real self back in those days.
Look at John Tesh.
do you delete my comments?
Yes I did
The irony 😂😂
Forever beautifully homosexual
Soooo....he had affairs with Tab Hunter who is now DEAD.
I agree with the former James...this is a damn serious desease!! Hope this weirdo never gets confronted with this!!! Stupidity and sheer ignorance are the worst of illnesses!!😣
1:46 Good G0d look how hot Jane Fonda was.
If that couldn't turn a man straight nothing would.
:(
Was he a homosexual then?
Pretty sure he was bisexual.
Yeah, it was one side of his split personality advocating caution as best means of prevention against HIV infection, while his other side was poking holes in his condoms. I guess the roles he played kinda grew on him over the years, or was he a natural to play them?
His life was bery strange to say the least. Please search him on Wikipedia. His mom was a lesbian and after his father died she sexually abused her son even as an adult.
1:14
“But Perkins…..son of actor Ozgood Perkins.”😂
Anthony Perkins was the FATHER of Oz, not his son. 😂
He named the son for his father.
He was gay?
@ziggymorris no he was straight, many straight people died from it, like Magic Johnson
