RIP Anthony and Berry, two beautiful people taken from this world 🌎 way too soon.

[@millenniumman75]

This was awesome. It's shame that we lost both of them so tragically.

[@bibianapriel5702]

you know that is life about,I feel sad about it,but then I forever will be care my feelings about Tony,I cant even describe how I adore and love him,he had wonderful personality,such sweetheart,and nobody can change my feelings to him

[@ferociousgumby]

To quote someone who knew them, "She loved that man up, down and sideways."

[@jeshkam]

You can tell that just by looking at their photos. The chemistry is just overwhelming...

[@fabiolaandrea5381]

She was a very nice sweet beautiful woman and person, she was crazy about him (how I understand her!) I love when she said "my tape was a joke" lol when she was interviewing him the first time for Warhol's magazine! Tony was a adorable, charming, incredibly handsome, intelligent and so talented, I don't care about his secret private life, he was so much more than that!!

[@ARosethatBloomsinEarlyMay]

Daym. Mr. Perkins was a smooth talker. He is praising his wife yet I'm the one who's blushing. Ha! :P

[@GA-1st]

He lived a double life. There are all kinds of marriages out there. She seemed happy with their marriage based upon an interview she gave after his death. Who knows what he thought. May they both rest in peace...

[@robertprewitt5397]

He actually confessed to a friend about his marriage that he accepted seventy percent happiness. So I guess he wasn't all that happy, reason for his "thirty percent double life", which I'm sure was a higher percentage .

By looking at their physical positioning and body language they seem more like close friends. She tomboyish and him well the opposite. R.I.P.

[@6610stix]

So tragically sad losing probably the most electrifying celebrity couple of all time. Kinda eerie too. Tony died on his mother's birthday and Berry died on September 11, a day before the 9th anniversary of Tony's passing. It's sorta like the Iron Man of Baseball dying of Lou Gehrig's Disease. Or if Bill Murray was to kick the bucket on Groundhog Day.

[@nickpastorino5370]

It's so sad how Perkins died of AIDs and Berenson perished in the world trade center on 9/11.

[@nasiarena5208]

ikr? gosh #rip

[@insanedrummer6191]

I know this is very late, but she didn't die in the World Trade Center, she died on the Flight 11 airplane that hit the North Tower of the WTC. I know you already knew this because it's been years after you've comment this. LOL

[@mikejunior211]

Not AIDs, but A.I.D.S.

[@JustinLodes]

Sweet Gulab I’m not sure how he acquired aids but he was gay and only had relationships with men till his late 30s. That’s most likely how he got it.

[@JustinLodes]

Charles Smith well if you want to get technical she did die in the World Trade Center. Once flight 11 hit it fused with the tower and that’s when her life was extinguished along with the rest on the flight

[@paulamiles9559]

Berry was so beautiful, fresh and charming. It broke my heart that she died on one of the 9/11 planes.

[@yankeegirl3380]

Cute couple.

[@Anthony-nq4ki]

Before when they were just boyfriend and girlfriend she knew he was gay because he told her, but in the old days a person or even a well known actor had to keep that personal or else it was the end of there careers. Anthony’s wife Berry said in an interview two days after his death that she didn’t know how he got AIDS because she didn’t want to embarrass herself and his two sons and put a bad image on him and his family. I’m not going to criticize anyone who is gay or bisexual but to be honest with people, a persons illness or sexuality should be kept personal to themselves, the whole world shouldn’t know your personal life. That’s how I see it. Anyways God bless Tony & Berry and his family.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

How do you know what he told her? Let me know so I can read /watch what you're talking about.

[@jennross6466]

Yes she knew and out of respect and love for him, kept it secret from the public as that news would definitely had a negative impact on his acting career.

[@Prof_Tickles92]

Why can’t they be proud of who they are? Being queer is a happy healthy thing.

[@paulofarrell6498]

@@Prof_Tickles92It wasn’t generally happy or healthy back then.

[@tellmamatellmamaall156]

Tony Perkins said of his wedding day to Berenson "All the time I wanted to kill myself," and "My life had come to a stop.... I wanted to walk into the ocean and dive to the bottom." So sad! I think he knew on a fundamental level that this false heterosexual image that he was clinging to was going to end up crushing him one way or another. A lot of gay men had ended the same way. It's a crying shame he wasn't born in a time where he could have enjoyed gay self-esteem.

[@robertprewitt5397]

He had been seeing a trendy Hollywood shrink [Mildren Newman] for several years, who basically performed gay conversion therapy on him. His long time friend, Paul Jasmin said, 'her purpose in life was to change his sexuality.' Whenever he went to see her they would get into such heated arguments and during one session she had asked him to fantasize about making love to a woman which caused him to break down in tears. She was relentless. Convinced him his sexuality was the root of all his unhappiness and the only way he could be happy was to be heterosexual. Later she would laud him as one of her "success" story.

[@tellmamatellmamaall156]

@Robert Prewitt, That's pretty despairing, but what can be said, it was the case for many gay men back then to end up in such a futile position in life. I think his break up with Grover Dale really devastated him.

[@robertprewitt5397]

Tell mama Tell mama ALL, Yeah, he confessed to one of his lovers how cut up he was over Dale, and how desperately lonely he had become. It's a shame they didn't stay together. To think they could've actually gotten married now and even had a family of their own. They would've made a cute eldergay couple.

[@tellmamatellmamaall156]

@Robert Prewitt, I like how supportive Nancy Walker was of Tony's relationship with Grover. She was appalled when he and Grover decided to try at playing it straight. A lot of people who knew them both didn't think it was necessary for them to go down that path.

[@wjglll340]

I lived as a homosexual for 15 years. I gave it up and married a woman 16 years ago. It is easier than you think. I told her everything and she didn't care so we were soon engaged. We have a thirteen year old girl and a ten year old boy. My wife and kids are everything to me. I almost missed out on that. No, I am not cured. But I am faithful to my wife and we have a rich life together. I think I make a pretty good husband and father. I bet Anthony Perkin's sons are grateful he gave them a chance to exist.

[@lc3920]

Well it seems like you didn't "give it up" you just found out you also like women and married one. Good for you but don't turn it into an anecdote for sexuality being a choice.

[@wjglll340]

@lc3920 I absolutely gave it up. My proclivities are no different than the days I ran around Halsted St. in Chicago. I no longer act on them. I chose to walk away from that.

[@roderickfiske4769]

You didn’t live as a homosexual, past tense. You are a homosexual, present and future. Stop fooling yourself, your wife, your family. Queer is queer from cradle to grav3.

[@markgish9482]

It’s true that that horrible psychiatrist tried to convert him to become straight, but it’s also true that Tony was actually a latent bisexual, he discovered he was attracted to women as well as men, and that’s fine. Gay men don’t sleep with women nor are we interested in marrying them. This myth needs to end.

I watched Winter Kills yesterday and was checking up on all the cast, as I always do. I was shocked and saddened to see how Ms Berenson had lost her life, so came here for a little more info. I did not know Anthony Perkins had married! And to his fellow Winter Kills star (though she only has one line as a morgue attendant). Apparently he had same-sex relationships all his life then at 39 had his first heterosexual experience with Victoria Principal. Well no wonder he turned straight!

[@marinamartin8843]

i thought he was gay

[@dkelly26666]

He admitted that he'd never even been with a girl until he was 40 years old. He'd only ever been with men. His first experience was with a man and all of his experience afterwards were with men until, at 40, he was finally seduced by Victoria Principal. Then, he suddenly realized that he liked women, too, LOL. Later, he married this woman, and had two sons with her. But, obviously, he still fooled about some, because he ended up with AIDS and his wife did not. She later perished in one of the planes on 9/11, unfortunately, one day shy of the 9th anniversary of his death.
