My Take

Millie Perkins carries a piece of film history that few actors could shoulder. Born in Passaic, New Jersey in the late 1930s, she went straight from modeling to playing Anne Frank in the 1959 film The Diary of Anne Frank, an extraordinary and daunting debut. What I find compelling is the turn she took afterward, working with Monte Hellman on two stark 1966 Westerns, The Shooting and Ride in the Whirlwind. That move from a solemn lead to cult genre cinema shows real range and nerve. I'd call her career a quiet study in following the work rather than the fame.
