Remembering Barbara Hale with Raymond Burr

The beautiful Barbara Hale, who played Della Street in the original Perry Mason, was a remarkable woman. The former movie-star-turned-TV-icon, held a special place in the hearts of fans, friends and co-stars, such as Raymond Burr. Here, Burr discusses Barbara, the woman who was "Destined to be Della!"

Thank you for all the information on Raymond and Barbara. I was born in 1959 and remembered my parents watching the later seasons when I was a young child and had recently, at 62, reintroduced myself to the series AND its amazing stars. I have always felt sad knowing that Barbara lost both Bill and Raymond within a year of each other. Looking forward to reading the books you have written on these two incredible people.

I read all three of your books. ILet me say thank you and your wife for very respectful of Raymond and Barbara . I read another book and in opinion, the emphasis is more about Mr Burr's sexical orientation . I think is his personal business. It's seams that he didst much to protect his and the people he loved, privacy. My take away as I watch the show and interview that there are lots of clues. Like when Barbara said about the prank
With the doves and roses everywhere, jello and the faucet if I not mistaken is a frog with a rose because Barbara loved flowers especially roses. She said, in that interview that she kept it up to that point. Thanks again for sharing and keeping them alive in their fans life. They give us so much of themselves in keeping us entertained even now long after they are gone. RIP

Brian, your narration and choice of photographs is mesmerizing. You tantalized me just enough to force me to quit my procrastinating and order the new book (as a gift for my husband, of course haha). I'm sure it will be as good as your first two!
