Anthony perkins was gay

29-year-old Paul Newman was operational on his first Hollywood film, The Silver Chalice(1954), when he moved into an apartment at the Chateau Marmont, where James Dean was also a resident. On his first afternoon there, Paul was relaxing by the pool when he was approached by Anthony Perkins, who introduced himself as Tony. According to Maila Nurmi, a long-time friend and confidante of Tony’s, Perkins told her that the two found themselves in bed within minutes of meeting. For the next few weeks they were engaged in an intensely sexual relationship. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Perkins was a handsome, tortured homosexual who really wanted to be straight. Newman was pansexual, but was like a kid in a candy store, sampling whatever satisfied his sweet tooth, be it male or female. Perkins and Newman never intended to become a couple, but they were both sexually adventurous. Perkins was also involved at the time with Tab Hunterand Robert Francis. In fact, most of the twenty-something male Hollywood stars were all sleeping with each other, but Newman was the only one married with three kids at the time.

Anthony Perkins (April 4, 1932 – September 12, 1992) was an Academy Award-nominated, Golden Globe-winning American stage and screen actor, best famous for his role as Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and its three sequels. In addition Perkins tried his hand at pop singer, director, screenwriter, and songwriter.

He appeared in more than 40 films and earned a 1956 Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Star in Friendly Persuasion. He also received Tony Award nominations in 1958 and 1960. Perkins was featured on the cover of the March 3, 1958 Newsweek magazine and heralded as the heir noticeable to Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, and James Stewart.

Hollywood tried to market him as the All-American male child next door but it was a tough, if not impossible, sale. He was anything but that. When his acting was free of his peculiar mannerisms he wasn't a bad actor at all but he had facial tics, darting eyes, halting language, fingernails to chew and long arms and legs that he didn't feel able to control. He was 6'2" and major skinny. He reminded me of some sort of neurotic crane.

The sad thing about all his mannerisms was the weirdness it projected and unhappily would keep him from achieving the leading man status he wanted. Romantic, primary men needed to exude a self-confidence that he could never seem to manage.

It didn't take prolonged for Hollywood to hold on to the evidence that Tony Perkins was gay. Unfortunately he arrived in the movie capital when it was still not alright to be so inclined. Of course, he did everything he could to throw off suspicions in his effort to hide but he was so nervous and goofy about it that he attracted even more attention. The really sad thing is that he never wanted to be gay. He was ashamed and uncomfortable about
