Anthony and Berry Perkins

Psycho is playing at my house right now. I've seen it once -- when I was in college, back when the Bearcats were not a good football team. That long ago. This was years after the original theatrical release but the chance to see the movie was appreciated by the crowd. We'd have been children when it first came out.

Anthony Perkins was 28 when he starred as Norman Bates. He was very handsome, with a killer smile. His widow, Berry Berenson, was one of those who died on September 11, 2001.

"A boy's best friend is his mother." I wonder if Tony and Berry's sons lost their best friend on 9/11.
