She was 76 years old. From 1977 on, Ms. Perkins had small parts in many big budget films such as La petite (1978) and JFK (1991). She got her start in the movie business when a counselor at the U.S. Employment Service said the production company filming the New Orleans based "Pretty Baby" was looking for someone of her age and stature. She earned enough money from her multiple roles in that film to start her own taxicab business, and continued to land small roles in major motion pictures. She was a lifelong resident of New Orleans.
