My mistake. Yes, it is PSA. Here it is.

And a letter to his father from 1982 - still signing Tony when he wants. It appears he started the "P" as he normally would in these years with that "V" angle.

This is interesting. The word "always" from the C. 1960 OP, Eddy's C. 1960 8x10 and the 1982 Perkins letter.

Why would the handwriting on an Anthony Perkins letter from 1982 share characteristics with supposed secretarials from 20+ years earlier?

I would not expect normally a secretary to be that precise as far as words. Usually, they have the general form of the writing but not something as specific as a single word. I often try to find exemplars with words as much as a signature. Secretaries were trying to mimic the signature since that is what most people would have looked at and compared. I doubt there was much comparison of individual words when he was first getting started.

I agree and find this information solid. Thanks Scott. As with my vintage Burton, the 1974 Lemmon and whoever else some digging will usually yield results into who actually signed what.

Again, that's not my 8" x 10". It's one sold previously by The Written Word as I credited when offering it as a sample. I had sold another several years ago. Same inscription and image, though.

I know. I meant yours in the way of it was what you posted for discussion, not something you owned. You clarified that when you posted it. This has been a good discussion. Thank you. :-)

There have been some close ones we've seen on this thread (eg. from the Goulliard & Moseley collections, etc.) that I don't care for really. At the least, this shows he may be more difficult than might be supposed.
As I said at the beginning, I sold a similar style like the larger Written Word as secretarial because I did not feel comfortable doing otherwise. Maybe I'm too conservative and Gallery of History is the more perceptive party with this presentation.
One thing is for certain....adults can respectfully agree to disagree. This looks to be one of those instances.
Best of luck! (-:

Here is a signed photo sold by Sanders in a lot with other personal items, cards etc.
From Equus 1975. I think we are beating a dead horse.
Note the "E's" in the signed photo above and the "E" in "Elaine" in the OP shown below for comparison, In both the middle stroke of the "E" ends on the up in a distinctive way:

I don't think he had secretaries signing personal photographs to his wife...

This is what I suspected. These were nice for a fan to get back in the day. Promising days for a young up and coming actor. Paramount was really building him up with their publicity machine in full force even as the studio contract era was closing.
Has anyone read SPLIT IMAGE? It's a great biography him and quite poignant.
