    One of the most incredible actors ever. Perry Mason is the best TV series of all time in my opinion. Amazing. There is absolutely no one in Hollywood today that could possibly memorize 75-80 pages of legalese dialog for one show like he did. Never a flub in almost 300 episodes over 10 seasons from 1958 to 1967. Ive been watching since 1965 and two times daily for the last 4 years since metv has been running it. Great cast of characters. No special effects, just superb writing acting and drama

    Raymond had one of the best voices of any actor. Deep and rich for sure, but with so much sincerity and feeling and color, if you will.
    His radio work was unsurpassed. He could paint pictures in your mind through the radio and make you feel like you were there.

    I graduated from Colorado University at Denver, in May of 1993; Raymond was our Commencement speaker(!!). He was witty and engaging, and the news of his death in September, only four months later, heightened the memory of his shared stories.
    His role in "Please Murder Me" against Angela Lansbury was dark, and eerie.

    • @ZENmud

    Very nice video. I have always enjoyed his work, especially those endearing roles on TV. But I really love his earlier work in radio drama, where he played the heavy. Although my favorite is his portrayal of Capt Lee Quince in the radio program “ Fort Laramie”. I once read he also collected stamps, especially stamps of the Pacific Islands. A truly great talent, thankfully we have his work on film, TV and radio to enjoy again and again.

    I was a little boy watching “Perry Mason” in the sixties. He was the first person that I ever saw with a car phone. Perry was the consummate “big-time” attorney. I never heard him or Della mention retainers or fees to his clients. But, you know the old adage.

    The "Burr" building still stands on New Westminsters' BC main street. The Burr Block missed the fire in 1898. . The Burr family were a number of over achieving sister and aunts; a strong maternal line in the Burr family.

    Very nice narration and presentation. I was able to buy one of Mr. Burr's dress shirts off of Ebay. I gave it to my brother on his birthday, and he loved it. I have also purchased several items with Burr's signature. One was on a restaurant receipt. Another was from the Hollywood "commissary" where they filmed Perry Mason. I bought photo of "Perry and Della" signed by Burr and Barbara Hale. I have also seen the old grave marker that was on the Burr gravesite before his sister Geraldine died. The original was metal and flush with the ground. I like the new marble headstone very much. Thank you for your nice post.

      @@jcvancouver Thank you for writing to me! I don't ever mean to brag about my Raymond Burr memorabilia, it is just that I am so excited about it. But here is my biggest heartache: I live on the Central Coast of California. Think Monterey and Carmel. I am roughly 4 hours from the famous Napa Valley vineyards. (Of course NOT NOW with all the fires consuming so much). Anyway, RB and his friend Robert Benavides, lived up there, around Geyserville, where they grew grapes and orchids. After RB passed away, dying at his vineyard, his friend began to bottle Raymond Burr wine. My cousin, who lives in Sacramento, told me I would LOVE the vineyard, not even so much for the wine, but there they displayed MANY items of RB, his Emmys and Oscar, and zillions of photos not seen usually. So two years ago, I finally went up there, AND HIS VINEYARD HAD BEEN SOLD. I cried like a baby. The only thing of his still there was a robin's egg blue convertible car still for sale. I don't know where his partner moved to, or if RB's items are being displayed somewhere else. I am VERY sad I didn't make it up there in time to buy some wine and oooh and aaah over his treasures!

      RB's car is a Ford Thunderbird, the great vintage car with a round window in the hardtop, and a white canvas-like soft-top. My brother, who can actually wear the RB shirt I gave him (tailored by "Anton of Beverly Hills" with 'Raymond Burr' sewn in the collar with the date.) thinks that Mr. Burr would have had a hard time fitting in the Thunderbird due to his size. My brother said that he himself probably couldn't fit into it comfortably. Who knows?!?! Please dream that we may find out where RB's memorabilia is now! Thanks, Roxie

I saw KK vs G. in the theater when it first came out. Awesome on a huge screen even with 1963 special effects. I would love to get the Japanese version of KK vs. G.
