We’ll Take a Stab That You Don’t Know This About ‘Psycho’

9. They All Took Pay Cuts

Hitchcock wasn’t the only one who took less to be in Psycho (even though he was the only one who got 60 percent of the net profits). Anthony Perkins made a little more than $40,000 in spite of the fact that he had plenty of name recognition. Janet Leigh, another big star, took only $25,000, a quarter of her normal fee, just for the opportunity to work with the director. Of course, the performance also earned her an Academy Award nomination.
