Thank you! 🙂
His wife Berry Berenson (sister of actress Marisa Berenson) died on 9/11 in one of the planes that hit the towers. Miraculously her custom made ring was found in the rubble and given to her sister.
His wife was in my favorite movie, Cat People. She was beautiful and became a photographer. She married Perkins and loved him anyway even though he liked guys. She died on Sept 11 on the plane.
@@vampoftrance Wow unbelievable story..you can't make this stuff up.......
.Omg.
WOW! Thanks for that!
Not given to her sons?
😮😮😮
I always thought he was so handsome..loved all of his movies..one of my favorites!!
Seriously you may want to acknowledge that his sexuality did not define his career. Norman Bates didn't ruin his career. He went on to 46 more films & TV appearances including Psycho sequels(which he had creative input and directing opportunities), The Black Hole and Crimes of Passion etc. He was a triple threat singing, dancing and acting. He was a man who loved to travel and was an animal lover. He was a devoted father and husband. His death was painful and devastating to many of us who loved him.
See there, I learned more about him in your post than I did the entire 15 minutes of the video. I mean, really,who can’t fill 15 minutes with a person’s entire life? As much as a no-name such as I, any mediocre director could fill 15 minutes with my life, and never have to repeat a single sentence! This was just a waste!
Slayathon , well said 👍,rest in peace to him, amen 🌹
An excellent actor in everything he was in.
Yes!
He was so talented indeed his life was his own. His acting was for all
in your dreams.

Young people today cannot imagine the stigma that attached to being gay 60 - 70 years ago. All church denominations condemned gay activity, like dating, as sinful; all branches of psychiatry condemned homosexuality as an illness; all branches of law enforcement considered gay activity as illegal and worthy of arrest. Most gays desperately wished to NOT be gay, and many sought out purported -- but alas non-existent -- "cures." All of that was reason enough for any gay person, including actors, to dissemble who they really were.
re: Anthony Perkins Yes how true we suffered terribly them, but why are young people who have not had to deal with such issues so angry?
Then
@@allanrinaldipaone9850 unfortunately bullying and homophobia are still alive and well in the USA.
Thank you for stating FACTS about what is really American history.
Anthony Perkins while talented and very handsome had few options as a gay man and even fewer role models. His talent was overlooked many times and he was stigmatized to a great degree. Thankfully times have changed a bit.
Transgenderism is a homophobic ideology. If you are a lesbian you don't want a man with a penis. You want breasts, bum and booms
I felt very bad when he died. I always liked him as a person and an actor.
You liked him as a person so you must have known him then. Or are you just going off of someone reading lines on screen?
@@starlite556 why so bitter? Fatherless much?
@@papalala5473 he speaks the truth.
I always thought Perkins was so handsome.
Mr. Perkins was very good actor. Unfortunately the studio system destroyed him. I still think of him as he was.
I'm so glad times have changed and people can be their true selves!
Excellent video. Perkins was a brilliant actor. Played in "the Trial," and "Mahogany," and also starred on Broadway in the play "Equus." Such amazing versatility as an actor. His wife was killed as a passenger on one of the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers on 9/11. May they both RIP. 🧡🙏
his 2 sons where are they now
Yes, I saw him in Equs on Broadway with my high school class! He was wonderful!
It’s so sad that he could not live a free life with whom ever he love
He met her and married her.
I don’t know if Anthony and Stephen Sondheim were ever in a relationship, but they co-wrote an original screenplay in the early 1970s which is a favorite murder mystery movie of mine, “The Last Of Sheila.” Sadly, Anthony’s widow Berry died as a passenger in one of the airplanes on the 9/11 terrorist attack. Her sister is actress Marisa Berenson.
I love that movie. Such a great thriller/ who dunnit
I did not know his wife's sister was Marisa Berenson.
WOW.. HAD SAD
Thank you for these additional facts horrific about his wife I wonder about the two sons
I have heard from another source that they had relations. I don't remember the source and it was way over 35 years ago.
Do you know Anthony Perkins has albums.
He used to date Tab Hunter.
Handsome man and phenomenal actor!! People need to stay out of others' private lives.. what difference does it make to them unless you're trying to control what others do. Mind your own business!
I agree totally, also with @maxthelab8457. Imagine, these revolting people spend time and energy picturing what others do in bed - yuck.
But what is possibly even worse are the god-botherers who bring their puerile religious comments to the table.
Don't forget either, that your spirit has no gender!
I loved Perkins brilliant, underrated performance in "The Trial," and I actually prefer it to his performance as Norman Bates. Another favorite Perkins performance was his comic turn as Chaplain Tappman in "Catch-22" (1970).
And in "Play it as it Lays," with Tuesday Weld.
A memorable and excellent actor. Very good looking man. Psycho, Phedra, The Trial, great films. May he Rest in Peace.
Yes to all that you said
He was excellent as the fashion photographer obsessed with Diana Ross in Mahogany. My young gaydar went off when I saw Psycho. AIDS was the scourge of gay men in the 80's and 90's. Such dark, haunting days they were. I'm glad he came to terms with who he was and had great love and acceptance in his final days.
Yeah he was really crazy in that role. He was a good actor.
That car scene with Diana Ross in Mahogany was funny and terrifying.
@ Kelly Thanks Kelly for your comments here. And your kindness. I've strugled with my sexuality for many yrs. not accepting my same sex desires. I've always thought that I liked both sexes, but now I may be attracted to my same sex. And i don't want to accept it. But I realize it's how I was made, nevertheless it's very difficult. If I could stop same sex desires I would in a heartbeat.
@@jjs490 I know nothing about you but I too have struggled with my identity. Now I am doing battle with aging. However, if you are trying to find a sense of peace accept and love yourself on every level. You have already learned that desire unsettles you. It will no longer be unsettling when you accept it as normal. No matter what you have been taught, you are normal!! Gay is NORMAL!!
Well he had a short run of coming to accepting or knowing who he was in the last years of his life. That statement that was released after his death seemed to tell that honest recollection of his life.. Hollywood being so cutthroat and wanting to be accepted by so-called straight America put So many actors in a torturous situation fighting who they are.. but I guess early years of his life it was almost a thrill to be having a secret love affair and still play great parts in the fifties. This double roll of living is indeed tortuous. But it is like day and night.. you live in the day you expected to be so tight laced torturously wound up.. And at night you can completely unwind that tight spring if you can make that possible and be yourself.. that can really put you in some mood swing feeling so repressed uptight in the daytime and at night try to forget what the world expects of you and just say to the world" f*** you!!'God it's like a bipolar situation so hard to balance. You don't need to be a Hollywood star to feel that depression. Us gay/ queer people how to do that when we were younger too pretend to our folks and relatives and clergy and schoolmates. And then find and go into your little comfort zone to be yourself. It's not perfectly cut separation. Many times our true feelings and refreshing to cross borders. And that's the torturous part
Thank you Kelly....I'll try to heed your advice. Be well.
Lots of great pix of Perkins. What a hotty! Too bad he and Tab Hunter had to break up. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at one of their rendezvous.
Tab Hunter and Anthony Perkins together at the height of their beauty must have been an awesome sight. Imagine a world where they could have celebrated their love rather than hide it away. I was in Alicante in Spain this week which is just a regular medium sized coastal city and I saw several same sex couples just ‘being together’ and nobody batted an eyelid? It was joyous!!
No, it was not joyous. It is sad. Do you think Sodom and Gomorrah were joyous?
@@starlite556 So the sojourners were treated badly, they were robbed and raped. Sodom and Gomorrah is about being inhospitable to strangers! But the biased translation brings all the homophobies out of the closet! Shame!
Tony was good looking but Tab was incredibly stunning.
@@Roholi I agree with that. Tab was in a world of his own, almost impossibly beautiful
@@gerardmackay8909 Agreed. If they ever do the long-discussed bio-pic of his relationship with Tony, I don’t who they’d get to cast to play Tab. His looks were 1 in a billion.
Dying of AIDS yet worried about work --- what a trouper. Thank you for a sensitive reflection on a delicate subject.
It’s so important to come to terms with who you are in order to live a happy whole life. We must remember god gave us this life and nature, it up to us to make the best of ourselves and soul.
Rumpy pumpy hshaha
He was wildly hot in his younger days, and a gifted actor with so much sensitivity. He turns up in a trove of Roddy McDowall's 16mm home movies, posted here on YT.
I remember the movie "Fear Strikes Out," the true story of Jim Piersall, a great baseball player who suffered mental illness, being pushed by his father. Perkins was a master at the troubled and crazy parts, which may have led to his starring role in "Psycho." I am sorry this led to being stereotyped, but he had a wide range of character types he could play.
Doubtful his sexual orientation was keyed to his father's death. Children know who they are and who they're attracted to long before parents and siblings form opinions.
I know his struggles too well.
I knew both ...his wife Berry, lovely , sweet and gentile ( Marisa Berenson’s Sister ) she perished on one of the planes ✈️ 9-11 tragedy !! As for Tony was always flirty with Me !!! I was young ,20 years old ... was spooky for me !!
I remember photos of him w his wife before his death, but I didn't realize she perished on one of the 9-11 planes! Oh, mg! They had young children in the late 80s, about 2-3, I believe and always had their children w them, too! Thanx again.
Deux, his wife was "gentle" (not gentile)
I think it's nice that you, in particular, had the good fortune to meet his wife Berry. I know what this woman sacrificed for the love of Anthony Perkins and how strong she must have been. She has all the respect for me as well as my mother. My father met Anthony in Greece in the 1960s and they stayed in touch well into the 1980s. I still have my parents' little phone book with two numbers for Perkins in it. I was born in 1975 and was supposed to be called Anthony, but Turkish law didn't allow foreign names at the time. My grandfather had a well-run shipping company in Turkey at the time, so my father, a free-spirited and handsome young man, traveled a lot in the Mediterranean and the Aegean at the time. In Greece he met Perkins, but also other acquaintances of the time, but getting to know Anthony Perkins must have been quite intense, so that, as already mentioned, they had been in contact for a long time and the actor was always a topic at home.
Another excellent chapter! I look forward to many more.
He was married and had two sons. They even look like 👍 him.
so was Oscar Wilde
A true thespian in the purest form of the word.
Well! I must say, I knew almost everything mentioned in this video and his male "affairs" that go well, well beyond just TAB HUNTER. I believe they remained as lovers for 2 years, but as stated, Perkins' studio told him to "STOP" or his career would be over. Troubled as he was, Perkins, obviously, did not stop his affairs with men or he would, in all likelihood, never have contracted AIDS. My words are in no way meant as a rebuke to ANTHONY PERKINS. If anything, my heart goes out to him for the suffering he had to endure, being GAY but totally
unable to reveal his true persona due to the backward, hateful thinking of society during the 50's and 60's. So many other actors of the period were gay but they all vanished from view such as George Nader. Possibly only 2 star/actors were ever able to survive the "gay" rumors that dominated their lives in the 50's and 60's, namely TAB HUNTER, who went on to live a fulfilling love life (over 30 years with 1 man) plus pursue his many passions such as "horses and ranching" and earlier on his great ice skating career in which he was so good, that, had he pursued it, he could have been an Olympian. Tab was silent as well not revealing his homosexuality until very late in life in an autobiography published a number of years before he died at around 87 years of age. TAB was a phenomenon on screen and had several comebacks, but he never wanted "acting" to ever be his mainstay in life ever again. In 2022 as I look at literally the hundreds of photos of HUNTER in his prime and even post prime, as a young straight man, I can honestly say that he truly was the golden, gorgeous boy of his era and for the ages, a good man who cared for and supported his mom, happy and ever faithful to a much younger lover. The best of all is that he finally and publicly admitted being gay. Everyone knew as much but it must have felt great getting that damn "monkey" off his back. R.I.P+, TAB. Even a lot of young folk in 2022 still think YOU WERE REALLY SOMETHING ELSE.
The other actor who lived through the rumor mill was Rock Hudson. It has been allegedly stated over and over again that most insiders knew Rock was gay BUT HE WAS ONE HELL OF A BIG MONEY MAKING STAR AND a BELOVED STAR/ACTOR - NO ONE was ever going to get rid of him in his prime doing such great work in drama and comedy. DORIS DAY adored him and she knew the whole score. It's just plain sad that men like Rock, in that era, could not be their authentic selves. It's a true tragedy. Gay men and women have been coming out of the closet left right and center for years now and it hasn't affected their careers at all; - point in case, actors like Matt Bomer and his generation, sports figures, a whole slew of singer/songwriters and even elected officials like PETE B., now in Joe Biden's cabinet, all out and proud, many married, as well like Matt and Pete. Poor Rock Hudson! What a tragic end! R.I.P.+, Rock - You earned great fame but what a troubled, worrisome life, afraid to admit the truth even when it was obvious AIDS was going to do you in. My heart goes out to you for all your suffering.
Fascinating. It's horrifying that people had to hide their real selves back in the day. It's likely Rock Hudson got HIV through a blood transfusion he had in Cedars-Sinai when he was admitted there in 1981 for cardiac surgery, he was always the active partner so likely otherwise would have escaped the virus. (Paul Glaser's wife contracted HIV via blood transfusion at the same time.) And how disgusting that psycho Pat Boone was allowed to chant gibberish over Rock's body just as he passed. RIP Rock and Anthony and things better now for everyone thankfully.
But our Country is changing now and we do not know what will happen to the progress that has been made
Well said ❤️❤️
I don’t disagree with your observations except to add another possible dimension: perhaps some do not want their private lives known. There could be many reasons other than society’s disapproval that causes one to cherish their privacy. When one is under the hot, glaring spotlight in their chosen career, having an aspect of their life that was theirs and their partner’s (and their’s alone), can sometimes be a haven of solitude, a welcome respite.
did Liberace ever come out while living?
He was very multi-faceted and a great actor. Appreciative for all the years of entertainment that he provided. Thank you for sharing this video.
🤔 We all are what we are, when we come in to this world 🌎. So long as we harm no one else, during our time here.we .must be true to ourselves and also others .Life is so short....
Thanks Alan for your mind words..
Well said. Do good, be true to oneself, and harm no one.
I always liked Anthony Perkins. I knew he had his troubles. I think he did quite well for himself considering. I actually didn’t know he was a singer. Very good looking man. He was born at a time that was more difficult but he seemed to adjust a lot better than some. Psycho is one of my favorite movies. His performance really should have given him an Oscar in my opinion!
A nice fair take on the fellow, I'd say.
Many here would tear him to pieces, if they were to have had the chance. Such are the wages of hate gone rabid; Nature turned in upon itself -- 'denied 'till died.'
As is wisely advised within the famous lyric: "de-emphasize the negative and accentuate the positive," just as has @decmagnet2072 here. 👍
I don't care that he was gay, straight or something in-between. He was a very talented actor.
Agree 100% he was great!
His singing on Greewillow was striking
Until recently being gay was a career killer, a life killer. You should point that out.
if you've established yourself as a successful actor who's boxoffice draw is based on getting the girl, your managers will be telling you "don't come out - it's a career killer!"
Practicing homosexual still isnt the greatest thing for anyone's life today., despite the way society seems to have embraced it. Disease still runs rampant and dysfunctional "relationships" and sexual addiction continue to play this life. You cant twist nature and expect to come up with something functional. Human beings were created with a HETEROSEXUAL DESIGN. You cant change that simple fact. But people's sexual behavior and proclivities can indeed change. I've seen it happen.
@@dg-sl5jb are you talking about people who are homosexual can change to a heterosexual? if so how does one go about this?
@@dg-sl5jb yeah we can change our sexuality, why don't YOU change your sexuality first, you know, to prove you right
Anthony Perkins was so different than most but in a good way ! Miss him terribly!
You see the photos of Anthony Perkins from the 50s and 60s and realize just how handsome he was. He had classically good looks and style that come across as timeless. Just so sad that he wasn't able to live at a time where he could have been an open gay man in Hollywood.
Yes...though I have a feeling he lived a pretty good personal life in spite of the times...and his career was incredible.
What a handsome lovely man He was underrated can’t say I would I noticed him so sad for the wives he could produce children so find this unbelievable strange
He was good in Murder on the Orient Express.
He was a great actor!
Ohhh China Blue with Kathleen Turner was a excellent movie, creepy yet original and Psycho 2 was good as well!
As we're hearing...thank you!
I had a crush on him.
Thank you, Sir, for another interesting AND entertaining video.
I read his mom abused him emotionally, similar to Norman Bates.
Totally didn't talk about his role in movie "Mahogany".
It's so sick people are so obsessed with other peoples sex lives and what others do in private - and when aware seem to find great pleasure in tormenting them because they don't approve. Thank God such attitudes are diminishing as time passes.
I always loved this actor and it had nothing to do with Psycho .He had so many layers ,he was complex brilliant and deeply experienced every character he played.I could have never seen him as taking the place of James Dean. They were two different planets with totally different landscapes, I'm sure he knew that Great creative being mesmerizing sub text so damm deep, in everything he did
Good looking guy.
Hollywood stifles creativity when they consistently typecast actors. UK
Jesus God this man was handsome!
I saw him on Broadway as Dr. Dysart in Equus in 1975. Brilliant performance. No trace of Bates at all.
My mom took me to see him in this play too in 1975 - I was fascinated by him and had a huge crush on him.
So did I; was a class trip.
Thank you for all your videos !!
Anthony Perkins was brilliant in the 'Psycho' franchise and 'The Trial'.
His portrayal in 'Judge Roy Bean' was small and personally, not my favorite role of his.
He was great in 'Friendly Persuasion' which is set in my home state.
Another great portrayal of the unhinged was his role as the Svengali photographer in 'Mahogany', opposite Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams.
‘Face it folks-I AM NORMAN BATES !’ Tony once said in a candid interview in 1979-but people often are unaware of Perkins’ achievement on the Broadway stage-whose body of work (including complicated dance numbers) is remarkable in its scope-the true son of his often-absent alcoholic stage actor-father Osgood Perkins, who died in his dressing room on Broadway during the only real hit-show of his chequer’d acting career when Tony was only 5-years old-and Tony’s homosexuality can only have had its roots in what are call’d to-day ‘Daddy Issues’ - if he had been born 40 years later Tony would have been able to have led a less closeted existence - but who knows if his internal suffering over his ‘dirty little secret’ over the 45 or so years of his adult life would have lessen’d his ‘intensity’ as an actor ? Think of Charles Laughton’s closeted life or the countless others whose internal tortures made their private lives living hell-but enrich’d their dramatic pathos on stage & screen alike - making public art out of private pain is ultimately the sine qva non of the true artist from Michelangelo to Hemingway - it is the cauldron that produces the fire necessary to create artistic-work in all its multi-variegated forms …
Speaking of the Broadway stage, I saw Anthony Perkins on stage in Equs, taking over for Richard Burton when I was in HS in the 70s. He was excellent👍👍👍👍
@Crime_scoper-X - apparently bisexual - but he had severe bouts of creative surges follow’d by deep depressions which was the result of an inner torture - and this tension may have fuell’d his genius/creative output
Tension fuels creative output hence why so many artists are in one form or another troubled.
Wow, what a deep and insightful read! I agree with everything you said as I am a living testimony to this. People have often commented on my music, my landscaping, home decorating, writing, my listening with unmatched compassion, etc…..as being ANOINTED. While I don’t disagree with them, I still am thinking, ‘But you don’t know the price I’ve paid for this gift’. I’ve often commented about someone I’ve met that had such a powerful, and yes, anointed ability, that ‘One does not possess this gift without suffering great pain & loss’, or ‘I can see/feel the hurt in them when they _________’ ! Patsy Cline is one such performer that I distinctly sense such pain when I here her recordings. Since childhood, I was drawn to her while sitting in a high chair at my parent’s favorite roadside diner, someone would have the mini-jukebox of each table playing “Sweet Dreams” by Patsy. Then when I was older, Patsy started getting some long-overdue recognition by books and movies made of her life. It was only then that I realized the PAIN in her early years and how, while recording some of her heartfelt singles, she would actually break down and cry…in the studio! So, yes, you are right, these gifts are birthed from great pain, but alas, I feel you said it so much more succinctly! Thank you for the affirmation!
He is so cute❤
My favorite Anthony Perkins film is Phaedra. Yes, he played another troubled soul but it was nuanced and very well done. Plus Melina Mecouri starred in the title role.
I love your voice, sir......
Now, I understand why Anthony Perkins, did so good in Psycho, because of his domineering Mother, he was another amazing actor
Who cares?! He was magnificent in Psycho and that's how we'll always remember him.
Thank you. I find all your videos very interesting 🤔
He said that his mother sexually abused him as a child and the result was he couldn't see a woman as beautiful. In his late 30s that changed as he was invovled with Victoria Principle and later married his wife with whom he was with for almost 20 years. He has two sons.
hugs, brother. peace & love.
And, ditto that same here, David.
'Pains me terribly, to know that T.P. suffered-so.
Wow, who wrote the audio for this? This has all the gay stereotypes from the 50's! He was gay because he had "a fear of women due to his domineering mother?"" He was "jealous of his ever-absent father and wished him dead?" These Freudian cliches about gay people were thrown out of existence decades ago!
It does seem that many of the "Iconic" roles portrayed, especially on screen have in reality a certain "Sword of Damacles" effect on actors careers. For me apart from Anthony Perkins' portrayal of the tortured psychopath, "Norman Bates", so elequently featured here, Liza Minelli will forever be "Sally Bowles" in Cabaret, just as Tim Curry will always be "Frank N Furter" from "Rocky Horror Picture Show", no matter what other roles may have been had.!!
Sad that his love for men was forbidden. It was natural and beautiful. I think of Rock Hudson as well. Cruel, narrow-minded, and controlling world, and as the LGBTI... community continues to be persecuted by the extreme right, it feels like things are going backward. We in this community must embrace the naturalness and beauty of our love and not deceive ourselves with double lives, as much as that is highly challenging.
It's probably even less well-known that Perkins had a secondary career as a singer/vocalist. He released several LPs for RCA Victor and even starred in Frank Loesser's Broadway musical, GREENWILLOW, which was also released as an original cast LP on RCA. Loesser's best known for GUYS AND DOLLS but, unfortunately and in spite of an excellent score, GREENWILLOW was not a hit. There is an interesting Perkins biography, SPLIT IMAGE, which explores his issues with being gay. His filmography IS amazingly varied, I especially like ON THE BEACH, but is generally eclipsed by PSYCHO.
I think anthony Perkins was a good actor
WHY? I don't have to watch the video to know why. Who woudl want to belong to a harshly persecuted class of people? In those days - there was no option but to live double life which is extremely taxing on one's psyche and overall well-being.
Good job! Learned a lot today.
So, even before Norman, Perkins had a problem with Mother. How ironic...
Had nice chats with Tony & Berry ,while living in Chelsea & working at the Elgin Cinema. RIP
I liked the movie he was in with Ingrid Bergman, but can't remember the name!
it’s called goodbye again :)
@@annawhelan1159 Usually Aimez Vous Brahms - he was sensational in it and the relationship with Ingrid Bergman was so superb.
@@alidabaxter5849 re: Anthony Perkins It was one of his and her best movies as she got more beautiful with age. He also starred with Sophia Loren in a b & w film adaptation "Desire under the Elms" I believe in 1958 where she gave a good dramatic performance. Were you named after Alida Valli one of the most forgotten beauties of the 40's and early 50's a real baroness ?
@@allanrinaldipaone9850 No - and if only I looked like her! I was named after the nurse who helped my mother when I was born. She was Dutch and the name is used there as well as in Italy.
You don't know when NOT to use a question mark.
??????
Norman Bates was NOT a psychopath. He suffered from Dissociative Identity Crisis (split personality)
Thanks AOV❤️
3:49 I will continue with this--it looks very unprofessional TO PUT A QUESTION MARK AT THE END OF THE TITLE. It is a STATEMENT, not a question.
Two roles I enjoyed best. Psycho and crimes against passion, but, I enjoyed the second film he did with Sophia Loren about the murder, too.
re; Anthony Perkins "Desire under the Elms" I believe. They both gave good performances and one of her best dramatic roles.
Great actor. Hollywood may have felt he could only be reduced to playing the disturbed brooding type. That is sad. Fortunately his talents could be put to use on the stage and those fortunate to see him there were in for a treat. Having to hide his love for men and deal with the depression he must have suffered in the world back then is the saddest part.
Loved him in "On The Beach" and "Green Mansion"
Yes!
OTB -- heartbreaking, Henrik!
Being a gay man I remember the time people had to hide their sexuality..WHAT A WASTE ENERGY TRYING TO RE PROGRAM YOUR LOVE OF THE SAME SEX..BOB IN CINCINNATI ohio..
He was also in the movie Mahogany with Diana Ross!
He was gorgeous.
You can't fight your temptations you must have what you want 😘💋
Yes, you can resist temptations, or else man is an uncontrolled animal. We have minds, souls, reason, must call on the Holy Trinity, Mary, Joseph, the Angeles and Saints to pray for us, help us, guide us. Saying you can't resist temptations is like saying, I want to do something, so I can do whatever I want! Lucifer said, "I will not searve!" And, look where that got him!
Satanist philosophy.
I love to watch horror movies,my favor movies from the late American actor Anthony Perkins,were,1960,psycho,1982,psycho 2,psycho 3,1986,psycho 4,1990;I had the movie DVD collection of the psycho movies.
Oh great documentary.. it is torturous life for many of us gays and lesbian and everything in between have to go through at a younger age all through our lives. Wanted to mention he was also in the 1960 ? movie in this Greek film with Melina Mericuri in the movie Phaedra. I think he plays her boy toy. And when he commits suicide she kills herself at the end of the movie.. I remember back around 1980 I went with my buddy to go see him in the play "Equus" a story of a young man in love almost physically with his horse..in one thing he runs out naked on the stage. Boy Broadway likes to do all these little shockers. Anyway the AIDS crisis stills goes on. But it is somewhat a manageable disease and now we don't see now what we see back in the '80s and '90s. The disfiguring of people the same skeleton like human beings walking the streets with canes while they are still in their twenties living in Chelsea in New York City back in the '70s and '80s sword this destruction of a generation of mostly gay men and who knows of all the intravenous drug users who also suffered but there's not really focused on them but I'll escape men at that time.. those years I can hear Kevin McCarthy yelling out at the end of the movie your next!! your next!!! In the movie The body snatchers. We just didn't know who's going to get sick next and suffer. At that time people didn't want to show the illnesses in public they kept their status to themselves until there was nothing to hide and their bodies were deteriorating and we 9 out of 10 assumptions knew it was the symptoms/ the visual manifestations of AIDS. Those first 15 years we saw mostly our brothers in the East Coast limping with AIDS at the same time we here one after another these closeted actors like a Rock Hudson, Liberace, doc Rambo, Robert Reed and many many more as the 80s came into being. It was like a dead end for many of us. That song by The village People ready for the for the '80s meant something completely different when AIDS reared is ugly face. May their memory be eternal
It very well may be.
I liked his films with Ingrid Bergman and Tuesday Weld
handsome bloke
Thank you for uploading this I'm gay out and proud
I'll be subscribing to your channeling
I loved him with Jane Fonda in "Tall Story."
i have a huge crush on him since i first saw Psycho, such a beautiful charming man
Thank you for sharing.
Acting in real life and professional life.... seems to be theme in quite a few actors
