- Born in Andover, Massachusetts to Dorcas (nee Curley; 07 Jan 1915-12 Oct 1993) and Phillip Anthony Costello (07 Dec 1912-09 Jun 2000). He grew up in Andover with his brother Michael.
After he graduated in 1955, from Phillips Andover Academy, Anthony went to both the Rhode Island School of Design, and the University of Florence in Italy, and then he attended Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where he received a master of fine arts degree.
Tony first tried painting as his artistic outlet, something he would continue on and off all of his life, but he also loved theatre, and toured with the Cleveland Playhouse in 1961. He then appeared in Boston theatre and finally on Broadway, and moved to Hollywood in 1963 looking to work more in film and television.
In 1974, he started writing a story in which he could star when the story was produced. The story then became a mini-series and then a novel, and when he was finished there was no part for him. Some studio producers showed interest, but when he said that the deal came with him as scriptwriter, they turned him down. Bantam Books published the story as a novel in early 1982 under the title Jericho. The book is a love story set around the Great Depression, the union movement, and the struggle between bosses in a Massachusetts mill town in decline in the 1930s.
Anthony Costello died at his home, after suffering from AIDS. - Actor

He died on 15 August 1983.- Catalan paleontologist and a specialist in mammalian paleontology. In 1933, he received his diploma in Pharmacological studies from the University of Barcelona and, in 1950, he completed his second degree, this time a doctorate in Natural Sciences from the University of Madrid. For his thesis titled 'The Giraffid Fossils of Spain', he graduates with honors. He then went on to complete an entrance exam at the University of Oviedo in order to become a professor of Paleontology and was awarded first place by unanimous vote. Later, he transferred to the University of Barcelona. He also worked for a time as a professor of Anthropology at the Facultat de Filosofia Societatis Iesu, also in Barcelona. His research began to circulate through his contributions to the Butlletí de Institució Catalana d'Història Natural during the period between 1933 and 1934. His articles were to become the precursors to the fields of research which followed: studies on invertebrate fossils from the Miocene era, the Miocene era in Catalonia, as well as the Tertiary and Quaternary periods in Iberia. As a specialist in the study of mammalian fossils and Evolutionism, he led excavations in the Valles - notably at the site located in Can Llobateres, now an arqueological park and protected excavation area for l'Institut de Paleontologia - as well as another site located in the Penedès region, among others. Some of his most important works include 'Los Vertebrados del Mioceno Continental de la cuenca del Vallés-Penedés' (1943, co-written by Josep Fernández de Villalta), 'El Mioceno Continental del Vallés y sus yacimientos de vertebrados' (1948, co-written by Josep Fernández de Villalta); 'El Burdigaliense continental de la cuenca del Vallés-Penedés' (1955, co-written by Josep Fernández de Villalta and Jaime Truyols), 'Estudio Masterométricos en la evolución de los Fisípedos' (1957, co-written by Jaime Truyols); 'La Evolución' (1966, co-written by Bermudo Meléndez and Emiliano Aguirre). Miquel Crusafont i Pairó was responsible for introducing the writings of French evolutionist Teilhard de Chardin to the Spanish educational system, whose belief system sought to reconcile Darwinism with Creationism, and to whom he dedicated several studies:' L'evolució avui' and 'Evolución y ascensión'. In 1945, he began a close working relationship with Paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson (1902 - 1984), promotor of Evolutionary Synthesis. In 1969, he founded El Instituto Provincial de Paleontologia, linked to the Diputació de Barcelona, in the city of Sabadell. In 1983, said institute was renamed the Institut de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont de Sabadell. The prehistoric mammal Crusafontia was even named after him, in further hommage to his life's work. At one point, Crusafont dabbled in the world of scientific documentaries with a film titled La historia de un mundo perdido (paleontología española) (1952), directed by Ramon Sanahuja in 1951, where he appears as the main host who discusses topics relating to science. Said documentary was later shown at the seasonal event Cinema i Paleontologia del ICP, and later at a different event called 'Retorn al món perdut: D'Arthur Conan Doyle i Dr Crusafont' organized by the Amics del Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona and presented by the naturalist Jordi Sargatal.
