Group of four items signed by Anthony Perkins, including: a TLS signed “Tony P.,” one page both sides, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, no date, in part: "I haven't had a lick of work since Romantic Comedy—and today's news on the writer's strike is not promising, either. I have no crazy anxieties about this, what can I do but try to keep my cool. The summer theatre owners could be talked into doing Rom. Com. with me but they have not been enthusiastic about the play and I know that the [m]oment I agreed to do a few weeks in it somewhere something more interesting (not to say lucrative) will pop up and though one can usually 'get out of' those stock engagements, I always hate to say I'll be appearing in someone's brochure and then pull out at the end although I know its accepted practice”; an identical pair of glossy 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders photos of Perkins early in his career, both signed in black ink, "Best wishes from, Tony Perkins”; and a vintage glossy 8 x 10 close-up photo of a young Perkins, signed in bold fountain pen, “Anthony Perkins.” In overall very good to fine condition. Also includes a large assemblage of early portraits and publicity photos, a Playbill for a performance of Harold at the Cort Theatre on November 26, 1962, and a copy of fan journal Telling on Tony, which features news on Perkins’ appearance in Look Homeward, Angel. The consignor notes that these items came from a family friend of Perkins who had known him before he became famous, hence the early photographs of his graduation and family.
