Anthony Perkins was an American actor and singer, best known for his Oscar-nominated role in Friendly Persuasion (1956), and for playing Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and its three sequels. 

Until his 30's, Perkins only had relationships with men— Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter were both counted among his lovers. It wasn't until he was 39 that he had an affair with Victoria Principal and eventually went on to marry photographer Berinthia "Berry" Berenson at age 41.
