It's been a long time since I made a tribute to one of my favorite actors, the multi-talented Anthony Perkins (1932 - 1992). While he became typecast in horror roles, in his early and international career he played romantic, comedic and dramatic roles, some of which are showcased here. Tony recorded the song, "Hit The Road To Dreamland" for his self-titled album in 1957. Enjoy!
