Perkins, Anthony (1932-1992) by Tina Gianoulis
Perkins, Anthony (1932-1992) by Tina Gianoulis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The life and career of actor Anthony Perkins seems almost like a movie script from the times in which he lived. One of the dark, vulnerable anti-heroes who gained popularity during Hollywood's "post-golden" era, Perkins began his career as a teen heartthrob and ended it unable to escape the role of villain. In his personal life, he often seemed as tortured as the troubled characters he played on film, hiding--and perhaps despising--his true nature while desperately seeking happiness and "normality." Perkins was born on April 4, 1932 in New York City, the only child of actor Osgood Perkins and Janet Esseltyn Rane. His father died when he was only five, and Perkins was reared by his strong-willed and possibly abusive mother. He followed his father into the theater, joining Actors Equity at the age of fifteen and working backstage until he got his first acting roles in summer stock productions of popular plays like Junior Miss and My Sister Eileen. He continued to hone his acting skills while attending Rollins College in Florida, performing in such classics as Harvey and The Importance of Being Earnest. Perkins was an unhappy young man, and the theater provided escape from his loneliness and depression. "There was nothing about me I wanted to be," he told Mark Goodman in a People Weekly interview. "But I felt happy being somebody else." During his late teens, Perkins went to Hollywood and landed his first film role in the 1953 George Cukor production, The Actress, in which he appeared with Spencer Tracy.

CITIZEN KANE by Herman J. Mankiewicz & Orson Welles PROLOGUE FADE IN
CITIZEN KANE by Herman J. Mankiewicz & Orson Welles PROLOGUE FADE IN: EXT. XANADU - FAINT DAWN - 1940 (MINIATURE) Window, very small in the distance, illuminated. All around this is an almost totally black screen. Now, as the camera moves slowly towards the window which is almost a postage stamp in the frame, other forms appear; barbed wire, cyclone fencing, and now, looming up against an early morning sky, enormous iron grille work. Camera travels up what is now shown to be a gateway of gigantic proportions and holds on the top of it - a huge initial "K" showing darker and darker against the dawn sky. Through this and beyond we see the fairy-tale mountaintop of Xanadu, the great castle a sillhouette as its summit, the little window a distant accent in the darkness. DISSOLVE: (A SERIES OF SET-UPS, EACH CLOSER TO THE GREAT WINDOW, ALL TELLING SOMETHING OF:) The literally incredible domain of CHARLES FOSTER KANE. Its right flank resting for nearly forty miles on the Gulf Coast, it truly extends in all directions farther than the eye can see. Designed by nature to be almost completely bare and flat - it was, as will develop, practically all marshland when Kane acquired and changed its face - it is now pleasantly uneven, with its fair share of rolling hills and one very good-sized mountain, all man-made. Almost all the land is improved, either through cultivation for farming purposes of through careful landscaping, in the shape of parks and lakes. The castle dominates itself, an enormous pile, compounded of several genuine castles, of European origin, of varying architecture - dominates the scene, from the very peak of the mountain.

Harrison Ford 5 Film Collection
Page 1 HARRISON FORD 5 FILM COLLECTION TM Available on DVD & Bluray from 2nd November Includes: Firewall, 42, Presumed Innocent, Frantic and The Fugitive On November 2nd 2015, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) will release the Harrison Ford 5 Film Collection, three of which are brand new to Bluray. ABOUT THE FILMS 42 (2013) Written and directed by Brian Helgeland (Legend, LA Confidential) this is the inspiring true story of the man who broke the Major League baseball colour barrier, Jackie Robinson, with Ford starring as the man who signed him, Branch Rickey. Firewall (2006) Ford proved he still had what it takes in the action man genre in this dazzling technothriller, starring as a security specialist forced to rob a bank after his family is taken hostage by the dastardly Paul Bettany. Frantic (1988) Directed by Roman Polanski, this superb thriller, a forerunner to the Liam Neeson Taken films, sees Harrison Ford as a doctor whose wife disappears from their hotel room during a trip to Paris. What follows is a nightmarish journey into the underbelly of the city as Ford attempts to find out Page 2 what has happened to her. Presumed Innocent (1990) A sensational nailbiting whodunnit right up to the final scene, this box office smash was based on the bestselling Scott Turow novel, and directed by the great Alan J Pakula (Klute). Ford is a DA who is put in charge of the investigation of his lover’s murder – and finds himself in the frame for the killing. When the film was released it became the ‘don’t reveal the ending’ hit of the year.

Centering on the reminiscences of Rose McNulty, a woman who has spent over fifty years in state institutions, The Secret Scripture is a deeply moving story of love lost and redeemed, against the backdrop of an emerging Irish state in which female sexuality and independence unsettles the colluding patriarchies of church and nationalist politics. Demonstrating Sheridan’s trademark skill with actors, his profound sense of story, and depth of feeling for Irish social history, The Secret Scripture marks a return to personal themes for the writer-director as well as a reunion with producer Noel Pearson, almost a quarter of a century after their breakout success with My Left Foot.
