Janet & Tony: Before Psycho
Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins will be forever linked because of their screen time together in the Alfred Hitchcock suspense classic, “Psycho” (1960). Before she took that famous shower, Leigh posed in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel pool for cameras in a swimsuit AND high heels for some cheesecake photography, circa 1950.
In February 1954, Perkins did a series of publicity photos inside his Chateau Marmont hotel room (#21). In this one, he is returning to his room after using the balcony from #29.
Knowing his future role as Norman Bates, this shot becomes all the more creepy.
Back in his room, he takes a phone call while sorting through the mess on the floor.
I was hoping the address would be visible on the shipping box, but all I can make out is the word “CALIF.” I also spy a stack of Movieland fan magazines.
