- From a 1989 episode of THE ARSENIO HALL SHOW here is an interview with Anthony Perkins. Anthony is promoting one of his worst films ever, EDGE OF SANITY. The title reflects the state of mind you need to be in to actually find entertainment value in the film. Anthony also discusses how he started his career and the classic PSYCHO a little bit.

Just a small note. I sent this man 2 letters to Universal. He replied both times, one of the best !!! Sorely missed
That is so amazing!! Would you mind sharing how he responded to you?
So lovely!
@@anchitaroy9126 that wasnt me, just my look a like jajaja
You mean you sent Anthony Perkins letters and he replied to you? What did he say?
@@dora1980 I was a Psycho fanatic. I wrote him twice to Universal Studios and he replied both times. He sent me an autographed 8x10 the first time. I’m still impressed by the man.
Tony Perkins, he was so well spoken, such an intelligent man and brilliant actor, handsome, unique! I love him!
I have a notion to second that emotion ! He indeed was quite intelligent & articulate. And he seemed like such a sweet down to earth fellow. Left us much too soon.... :-(
Me too 💗💗💗
I met Perkins several times at the location where much of the movie was filmed (Budapest) in May - June 1988. A very private, easy going, shy person with a great charisma!
In this interview, it is clear he loved making movies. He loved his job. He was a true artist..
He was a notorious diva, very difficult actor.
What a sincere and polite powerhouse of an actor!
rest in peace Anthony.
he reminds me of Charles Edward hall
Happy New Year up there Tony. I love you. Always. Nothing compares to you! ❤️⭐🌹
@@mp20233 hello....marion!
I must say that I find the late Anthony Perkins to be a rather gentle soul of a very talented man. I still miss him and I was very surprised that Arsenio Hall was a little unprepared for this interview with Mr. Perkins. But it turned out pretty well, I guess.
Arsenio was always an awkward interviewer, but Anthony Perkins seemed like a really nice guy!
I bumped into Tony Perkins as he was leaving a gym on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City about a year after this. By the expression on his face I could tell he was preoccupied with health issues.
Aww. That's sad, right? I just saw Psycho (again) and am so fascinated by Anthony Perkins. It must have been incredibly scary for him to have an AIDS diagnosis in the 80's. Thanks for sharing your story. :)
very sad. He was probably sick with AIDS HERE

Noe Berengena "I bumped into Tony Perkins as he was leaving a gym on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City about a year after this. By the expression on his face I could tell he was preoccupied with health issues."
How can you look at someone's face and tell they are preoccupied with health issues?? What an odd thing to say. Just odd.
Lana 2017 well have you ever seen a sick person? i’ve heard of another account from someone who saw anthony and they said his face look gaunt and he was so thin. healthy people don’t just look like that.
lana lana lanaaa! danger zone! haha
Anthony Perkins is a legend, such a brilliant actor and so unforgettable.
A lovely man. Shame he passed away so young.
Yes, he was gay, but married & had kids. He got AIDS, wife was lucky she did not get infected, but was very annoyed by his secrecy! It could have turned bad for her & their kids.
@@quilijohn8634She died on the 9/11 plane.
@@chrissimpson6701OMG 😲 😢
He was so gorgeous. My goodness.
really loved Arsenio show and how much of a fan he was of his guests Anthony was such great talent great actor singer rip
Hall was an ass kisser. Fact
Some people might think he was a bit pretentious the way he speaks about acting but, really, he just seems sincere, humble, showing a great amount of love and respect of his profession (which perhaps wasn’t very kind to him) and a genuinely nice man. Frank Langella speaks beautifully of him. Born in the 90s, I just wonder where I’m supposed to look amongst the film stars of my generation to find genuine modesty in an actor equal to Mr Perkin’s talent. Not anyone sitting on James Cordon’s sofa, I know that much. The people of my generation come over far too often as an incredibly selfish bunch.
Let's be honest, Anthony SCHOOLED Arsenio! Note to future interviewers: Always research the person before you interviewed them, Smh. #Awkward
That wasn't bad. Didn't look awkward at all. Only thing that was off was he didn't know about Psycho IV thinking it was 5. It came off like he was exaggerating at first until he repeated himself again. If you think that's awkward you should look at VladTV and his ignorant interviews. Poor journalist forever.
Easy for us to pick that out and see his mistakes, but you got to remember the intense prep Arsenio had to do each episode. Arsenio had to read different books and watch movies nightly just to prepare for the guests on that nights show. On top of that he had to prepare the shows monologue, work with the writer, director, etc. No easy task by any means so keeping that in mind, you’re more apt to understand why he missed a detail or two.
Tony's so eloquent.
Loved his shyness ❤ rest in peace . Great actor
Nice looking man for sure. He is sorely missed.
One of my favorite actors
Anthony Perkins will always be Norman Bates. Love him and his acting. I would also recommend Pretty Poison(1968), another great Perkins performance
Thank you for uploading this interview!
The Quality of the video 😂 and the effects in the movie 😂 we’ve come a long way .. RIP Anthony.. easily one of my favorite characters of all time “ We all go a little mad sometimes 😁 haven’t you ? “ - Norman Bates ❤️
He was so adorable... he had an awkward grace about him, very endearing. My heart breaks knowing he led a double life throughout his earlier years....and according to some, even after he was married. - What a horrible way to leave this Earth.... I hope he is at peace.
Stop disrespecting his wife ! You piece of shit
he's that cool grandpa u never had. his grandkids must've been so thrilled
Mya Hollandia You can say that again. Tony Perkins’ wife became a widow. Less than nine years later, she became a victim of one of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Her two sons became orphans. Therefore, people should refrain from speculating about what her late husband did when she was not in the same room. May they both rest in peace.
@@davidhenschel1990 yes, it's called Respect.
he didn't live a double life that's speculation I assumed that his wife knew about his bisexuality so why don't you not assume that she didn't know he probably was very upfront with her about his past relationships with men and yes may they both rest in peace and the way he talks about his wife and his sons is beautiful that he obviously felt so blessed to have them in his life
Y'all should look up "Friendly Persuasion" or "Fear Strikes Out." Terrific acting in those films.
Such a handsome man. He was sweet as all hell! 😂May he rest in peace
Always loved him since I was a young girl...I am 67 years old.
He had this enigmatic personality, he was great
I love Tony sm!
I have to play Devil’s Advocate, because I actually throughly adore “Edge of Sanity” it’s acquired taste and I was marveled by the campy cinematography, and it was aesthetically compelling in it’s atmosphere. It’s in my top 25 favorite of Perkins 67 title filmography.
I remember him, he was a decent human, sorry he died so young.
How I loved this man. He stole the show from Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward in WUSA (1970)
He actually speaks like Norman...Just more high energy...
He sounds an awful lot like Jeff Goldblum with the 'uh'
fascinating fact- he auditioned for the phantom's part at the same time Michael Crawford did. I read it in the book the MCIFA sent me when I was a part of it. (Michael Crawford International Fan Association)
He played Norman Bates amazingly. I think only Freddie Highmore is capable of playing him today. Bates Motel was an amazing show. I think Anthony would be proud ♥️
With respect mate there is no real way you could say that and expect anyone to take you seriously.
If Andrew Garfield had been cast in Bated Motel and someone mentioned an unknown Freddie Highmore as a possible contender you would probably be the loudest to shout objections!
You cannot say there is no other actor on this Earth that could portray Norman as you have not watched them all.
I actually don't think Perkins would have liked someone else playing Norman. He was totally set on not doing Psycho II until he found out the studio was thinking of replacing him with Christopher Walken. Then he jumped up and played Bates for another three movies. He was understandably possessive over such an iconic role.
Arsenio is very polite and respectful here, but he should have been better informed. "I can't see you in a comedy," he tells Tony....but Tony, as he says, started in acting by doing comedic roles...for example, his first role was in the light comedy "The Actress," and then he starred in "The Matchmaker," which was absolutely a romantic comedy. I just wish Arsenio had the correct information before doing the interview...it's just an example of the ridiculous typecasting that followed Tony since "Psycho." He had a successful career before that movie...he starred in westerns, as a romantic leading man, etc.
Anthony Perkins was truly a Class Act 🎬 👏 🙌 will miss him very much 😢
ASSenio Hall made this interview awkward
i love Tony!
He is such a doll
this is an awkward interview. Did Arsenio do his research beforehand?
ma
It's too bad, his early films were very good, before Hollywood type cast him.
Isaw one film he did back in 62 in Greece. Phaedra. That was great. I saw it on line. He gets boil down to the Hitchcock Film. He was more than that. A well seasoned Actor or Thespian . He also sings .
I could see him playing the Joker character.
Especially at 1:08
I want Andrew Garfield to play his bio
Good shout that
Perkins forever❤
The clip was from the ending I believe.
Plot twist. It wasn't Normans Mother who did the killing, and It wasn't Norman.
So apparently his first hetero experience was in his late 30's with Victoria Principal! Tony Perkins was the fuckin man!!
Why does that make him the man
World class actor
Because no one would hire him for anything else. At least he got honest work. Have some compassion.
I'd like hear about "Mahogany" with Diana Ross...
He died three years after this show.
8:25 oddly he doesnt mention the Tv shows pilot's name?
"The Ghost Writer" had a lot of potential. I wish it would have come to fruition back then. It would have been a fun series.
He was clearly devoted to his two sons. And to his wife too, he definitely loved her even if not heterosexually. I wonder if he ever did feel true happiness in his life.
Only if he could have really be who he really were, damn
He should’ve quit the creepy character act after Psycho.
I enjoyed Mr. Perkins' performance in Disney's 1979 sci-fi thriller THE BLACK HOLE. He didn't play the villain in this one!
It’s crazy we watched tv in this definition and thought it was good
...of course the cut made Psycho almost an instill - if Perkins 'wasn't there', so we must admit that the cut reveals only - for maybe a second - a hand yielding up in air, holding a knife, and as climax, the knife now descending fast..within this second or two seconds...: that's called climax, traditionally, and 'suspense' the woman taking a shower, but we only hearing the water streaming, the shower curtain..revealing maybe a 'body'...behind, showering..., then we see - again - one two seconds : the water circleing around the watergate - we assume mixed with blood - in the black/white movie...by this time we do know...
God, this just shows that Arsenio was the worst interviewer ever.
He should have done more research about his guest before his interview, but at least he lets him talk at length without interruption. So not the worst interviewer in that sense.
He was the worst interviewer, and yet, he ALWAYS had the best guests. Look up Keenan Wayans spoofing him on In Living Color. It's shockingly accurate! He would ask some of the most asinine questions ("There's one thing everybody wants to know...what kind of music you like to get busy to?")
@@dreamquesttv Oh I remember that skit he did while interviewing D.C. mayor Marion Berry. It's perfection.
Why is he dressed similar to Arsenio in this interview? lol
psycho was making with doubles, i did nt know, you neither, he was a great actor aids killed anthony perkins SO SAD, PSYCHO 1 2 3 SO COOL
I can't help but see Norman Bates lol
wish he were still here. i'd love to see his reaction to the new series
@@krystalharwood1807 He would hate it, he didn't even like the Psycho III which he directed!
Arsenio seemed unprepared for this interview
I totally agree. You'd think that even if Arsenio didn't have time to do any research he would have a production assistant do it for him !
That was AH at his best, and worst. He was very good with actors , but not with intellectual genius such as Anthony .
No slam on Arsenio, it was a sign of the times and of things to come. The shows of today are unwatchable and don’t draw a audience !
He was great as Inspector Javert in Les Mis.
He was great in that Ken Russell movie.
Yikes...love Arsenio, but he wasn’t prepared and seems not interested lol. The Psycho 5 bit was embarrassing
should have remade it with ty burrell and julie bowen lol

Psycho 5 😩
I feel u
How many are there I'm wanting to see them
@@marioiacolucci 4 films. A remake. (terrible.) A series.

The interviewer is real rude , as the way he talks to Antony isn't professional at all , talking down to him actually, making Antony panicky, his talking real anxious, handsome man though
I didn't think he was rude, nor did Anthony seem uncomfortable. He let him talk and express himself without interruption, which is something at least. However, he should have done more research about his guest beforehand.
Antony talks so fast wow "psycho" has put an effect on him , looooooooool 😂😂, talks like a radio !!!!!!!
Badass Perkins thats one of my favorite movies
he was the best actor for the role of Norman Bate. he looks creepy enough
well today the winner is....Freddie Highmore
He wasn’t creepy. He was a nice guy. On top of his other health issues, he also suffered from Bell’s Palsy, which gave him facial paralysis. He can’t help the expressions it caused.
Krystal Harwood Freddie who?
@@randycunningham1952 Freddie Highmore, he played Norman Bates in the series Bates Motel.
@@krystalharwood1807 respect to your opinion...but Tony is the One Norman!He is irreplaceable
oh wow .. his widow died in the 9/11 attacks .. the first plane that hit the towers
100% Norman Bates
His wife, who became his widow died on the 911 plane crashing into the first tower.
poor thing must have been toward the end
He looks almost like Vince McMahon
