Millie Perkins
Millie Perkins (born May 12, 1938) is an American film and television actress best known for her debut film role as Anne Frank in ''The Diary of Anne Frank'' (1959).
==Early life and career==
Born in Passaic, New Jersey, Millie grew up in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.〔Scheuer, Philip K. ("Anne Frank's Role Settled: Millie Perkins, 18, Winner; Brynner's Schedule Busiest" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', January 29, 1958. Accessed June 2, 2008. "''Diary'' has its Anne Frank. She is Millie Perkins, magazine cover-girl who was born in Passaic, N.J., 18 years ago and educated in Fairlawn, N.J.〕 Her father was a merchant marine captain. Perkins was working as a receptionist at a New York City advertising agency when she caught the eye of a visiting photographer with a resultant career as a model; by 1958 Perkins was an international cover girl.〔("New Picture" ), ''Time,'' A friend and photographer Walter Karl Gluck took a photo of Millie and sent it to Producer George Stevens, who was conducting a very public search for the girl to play the title role in ''The Diary of Anne Frank''. "Stevens' choice was an 18-year-old model from Fair Lawn, N.J. named Millie Perkins."〕 In 1958, she was vigorously pursued, and then selected, to appear in her first film, in ''The Diary of Anne Frank''.
Perkins had never studied nor sought to be an actress, but George Stevens saw her in Gluck's photo and on the covers of several magazines and tried to convince her to read for the part. Finally, she flew to Hollywood for a screen test and, with much fanfare, landed the role of Anne Frank in George Stevens' 1959 film "The Diary of Anne Frank". Perkins received almost universally excellent reviews for her portrayal of Anne although the film was a notorious commercial flop.
After her work with George Stevens, Perkins was placed under contract to 20th Century Fox. She was one of the promising young stars of Hollywood, but the studio contract system, which was coming to an end, was a poor fit for Perkins, who had come of age with the Beat Generation in 1950s New York City. George Stevens would later state: "Millie did not fit in. She was 10 years too early." Suspended for refusing the lead in the 1960 film ''Tess of the Storm Country'' - Perkins saw the film as a B-picture and a step back career-wise - Perkins was cast by 20th Century Fox in the 1961 film ''Wild in the Country,'' playing the supporting role of the girlfriend to star Elvis Presley - she would later play Gladys Presley in the 1990 miniseries ''Elvis''; the studio then dropped Perkins. Joshua Logan personally selected Perkins for the female lead in the 1964 film ''Ensign Pulver'' but the film was a failure: Perkins would not appear in another mainstream film release for almost twenty years. She played the female lead in both of Jack Nicholson's inaugural productions ''The Shooting'' and ''Ride in the Whirlwind'' - shot side by side in 1964 - and in 1968 co-starred in ''Wild in the Streets'' which was written by her then-husband Robert Thom.
