Perkins, Anthony (1932–92), actor. The son of Osgood Perkins, he was born in New York and educated at Rollins College and Columbia. After playing on summer circuits he made his debut as a replacement in the role of Tom Lee in Tea and Sympathy in 1954. Later he appeared as such juvenile leads as the would‐be writer Eugene Gant in Look Homeward, Angel (1957); the wanderlust youth Gideon Briggs in the musical Greenwillow (1960); the awkward society crasher Harold (1962), and hippie journalist Andy Hobart in The Star‐Spangled Girl (1966). After a very successful film career Perkins returned for more mature performances, including the angst‐ridden Tandy in Steambath (1970) and the haughty playwright Jason Carmichael in Romantic Comedy (1979), but his finest portrayal was probably as a replacement in the role of the psychiatrist Martin Dysart in Equus in 1975, treating the type of psychotic youth he had so often played in the movies.

Can't shake blues: Sumlin returns from semi-retirement; Familiar tunes Hometown blues legend Hubert Sumlin may not be a household name, but odds are that you've heard a few of the blues and rock classics Sumlin has played on. Recordings that feature Sumlin's patented Chicago blues style include: "Killin' Floor": A traditional blues number immortalized by Howlin' Wolf, whom Sumlin backed for 27 years. "School Days": A popular rock song by Chuck Berry that ranks among Berry's second tier of classics, right below "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Beethoven." "Dust My Broom": Another traditional some say early 20th-century Delta blues legend Robert Johnson actually penned it. Wolf ran with it and made it his own with much of the credit belonging to Sumlin.
