'Well, a boy's beast friend is his mother.'
When I was looking around for iconic 'movie mothers' for today, one in particular continued to pop up. As most of you know however, Mrs. Bates in 1960's Psycho didn't actually even exist. Norma was actually Norman, and this particular mother had stopped making sandwiches and Tang for her boy years before Marian Crane pulled up to the Bates Motel.
I did however still want to honor Norma/Norman with a few images of Anthony Perkins. Perkins had a hot body, something that went mostly unnoticed in his signature role. Perkins is a fascinating actor to read about and one of these days I'll have to pick up one of the books written about him. With titles like 'Split Image; and 'A Haunted Life', Perkins might just have a few of the same character traits as Norman.
A google search led me to Perkins one and only nude scene, a brief butt baring in 1971's La décade prodigieuse .(Ten Days Wonder) It was hard to find a decent copy on-line, but there was a version, and a few clips on Daily Motion that I was able to download and cap.
