Book excerpt: At first glance the two actors seem worlds apart: pere Osgood the last word in worldly sophistication and fils Anthony the ultimate in incorrigible boyishness. Yet beneath the surface run common currents--a penchant for choosing risky projects, recurring problems with typecasting, a gift for fleshing out underwritten roles. Even the famous twitch runs in the family. Illustrated with more than 100 photos, this comprehensive, chronological survey of the careers of Osgood and Anthony Perkins includes not only all of their film and Broadway performances but also virtually all road, summer stock, radio and television work. Even their formative years in college productions are covered, as are Anthony's brief stints as pop singer, director, screenwriter and songwriter. Extensive credits are cited for each work. Quotes and reminiscences are interwoven into the text, written in an essay format.
