Anthony Perkins is one of my favourite mid-century Stars and I'd love to hear an episode about him. He seems to have been a bit of an enigma, which would make an episode focused on him especially interesting. Some areas of interest include his struggle with typecasting (both pre and post "Psycho"), his strange career choices towards the end of his life, and his (very) ambiguous sexuality.

I'm interested in him as well. He seemed like a dynamic guy, but he was pretty private so I bet he'd be a challenge to research.

I know I'm responding to an old thread but what the hell. There is quite a bit of material on him, and I used to have tons of archival material too. I still have lots of videos of commercials and TV appearances he did later on. He had a fascinating life and very strange but long and varied career that would make a great episode/series on its own. If this does happen I'd be a good person to check with lol.

While we're waiting, I recommend "Split Image," Charles Winecoff's excellent 1996 biography of Tony.

In addition, also look for "A Haunted Life" and the book by Laura Kay Palmer about his and his Dad's careers
