Charles Winecoff's book "Anthony Perkins: Split Image" (Alyson Books, first published in 1996; 2006 10th Anniversary Revised Edition) illuminated Perkins's early life, his homosexuality, his later drug use, and life with his family.

His wife, Berry, however, did not participate. According to the book, Perkins contracted the AIDS virus around the time of Psycho III (1986), and kept the illness secret for 6 years till his death so he could keep working and not worry his friends and his 2 sons.
