Perkins

(Dedicated to Anthony Perkins who died September 12, 1992.) You starred in Psycho way back in 1960. Many years later you starred in the first Disney film that was rated PG. That film was the Black Hole and your performance in it was great. You starred as Dr.Alex Durant but first you were Norman Bates. When you died in 1992, the world lost a talented thespian. Years later we lost your wife in New York's tragedy in 2001. When Hitchcock made the blood in the shower scene, he used chocolate syrup. Soon after, you started starring in movies that were made in Europe. It's sad that we will never see you again. But at least we can still see the movies you were in.

I have never seen Psycho until recently but I was always aware of the shower scene! A great tribute to an actor and a movie!
