First crossed paths with comic actress Jo Anne Worley when they were both Pasadena Playhouse troupe members circa 1958. They met up again as co-stars in the telefilm La femminista e il poliziotto (1971) and became a couple, marrying in 1975. Perry's marriage to Worley was his second (of three) and longest marriage, lasting 25 years.

Composer and songwriter; Barbra Streisand sang Perry's song, "A Kid Again", during her first TV special, My Name Is Barbra (1965). Perry also composed scores for L.A. theater productions of "Make a Promise, Keep a Promise" and a musical version of George Bernard Shaw's "You Never Can Tell", in which he starred with Joyce Bulifant, who would become his wife in 2002.

Stepfather of John Asher.

Doppelganger for Paul Carr.

They had a sneak preview (of The Thing with Two Heads (1972)) on a Friday night. I went down there and the place was packed. They showed the thing and everybody just laughed and laughed. It was a great comedy. They released it as some kind of a horror film, but it wasn't.
