Here's a tragic twist to the devastation in New York that has a link to Freddie.
Catcopy sent me an e-mail the other day that was from a newspaper that listed all the passengers on ALL of Tuesday's planes. As I scrolled down the long list of names, one name caught my eye as being familiar. It was a woman by the name of Berry Berendsen. She was the widow of actor Anthony Perkins (Psycho)...anyway...the night before the New York tragedy I was watching the tape of when Freddie co-hosted the Mike Douglass show...the guests on that show was actor Anthony Perkins and his then newlywed wife, Berry Berendsen. How sad and ironic that Freddie has a small link to the nation's tragedy. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

chicosladyfair, that is truly ironic! And so very sad--she was a beautiful woman and a talented photographer. Just the other day I was watching her and Anthony Perkins on the Mike Douglas show tape, and I really enjoyed seeing them interviewed together in an early stage of their marriage. They seemed very happy and had had their first child about a year before. I knew her husband had been dead for a few years now, but the show got me wondering what had become of her. Now I know, and it just proves once again that no one has remained untouched by this tragedy.

Thanks Chicosladyfair for the info. I had only heard about Anthony Perkins' widow once, and I wasn't sure if I had heard it corretly either. Also one of the creators of Frazier was on one of the planes. His name was David Angell. And just an FYI to Cheryl--- I don't believe Berry was any relation to FP Sr. Just a tragic coincidence.
