Anthony performed with the famous Glenn Miller Orchestra before forming his own successful band. His popularity eventually carried him into Hollywood, where he appeared in films and television productions while continuing to record and perform music for decades.
His extraordinary longevity places him among a small group of entertainment legends who lived beyond 100. Other surviving icons from this generation have included Eva Marie Saint, June Lockhart, Dick Van Dyke, and several performers whose careers stretch back to Hollywood’s classic years.
More than a century of life has allowed Anthony to witness enormous changes in entertainment, from the height of big-band music to the modern digital era. His story represents a living connection to a period of American music and Hollywood history that has largely disappeared, making his long life and career especially remarkable.
