I always admired Raymond Burr. He was a good actor, and very handsome. My husband and I watch his "Perry Mason" series everyday. He comes on twice a day here and we are right there, watching his show, every morning and evening.
When I was a little girl my mother watch the Perry Mason Faithfully every day and when I became an adult which is now I watch Perry Mason every morning on Me-TV and then the Perry Mason movie also comes on fetv. So some days I turn from me TV when it goes off and then try to catch the other half of the Perry Mason movie on fetv. LOL I also loved it when Barbara Hale's son had a part on the Perry Mason movie and I was so very surprised to find out he was the guy on Greatest American Hero. I will always be a Perry Mason fan.
I'm fortunate enough to watch the Perry Mason reruns every evening. I say reruns because I watched them as a teenager when they were first runs !! LOL As I watch them I realize how naive we were about courtroom procedure back then. And the hats that women wore were just hilarious. And just about everybody, including Perry Mason smoked ! Also the inter action between Burr and the other cast members was priceless, especially between Burr and Ray Collins, Lt. Tragg. Lastly the faces of so many characters that I remember from my past. Nameless to me but their faces I'll never forget. If you get a chance to watch Perry Mason reruns do it, especially if you're old, like me.
I go to bed with Perry Mason and I wake up with him. The 1960's rerun are aired at 11:30 p.m. and morning at 9:00 a.m. I simply love Burr's character, Perry Mason for his big beautiful eyes and his verbal responses when confronted. I challenge myself while watching the show as to who the guilty party will be
I own the complete seasons DVD box set. It’s so good, I wish they would remaster it and put it out on bluray. Kind of like Twilight zone. Definitely one of the best drama series ever!
I loved him growing up! My Uncle became a lawyer due to watching him on t.v. Needless to say he learned very quickly that Criminal law never concluded in an hour..lol
Recognition he probably would not have wanted if it meant discussing his past? Marriages, children, and war injuries that nobody seems to be able to verify? Just spit-ballin' here, hardcore lies if that's what they are... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Burr
Brian O'Neil Maybe he told things the way he wished they were. Of course, that would not make it right. He lived in a make believe world and he let it slip over into his personal life. I know about those stories, but they cannot take away from his superb acting ability or all the good he did in the world. Not to mention those eyes and that voice. There is a video on here that is a tribute to Paul Schaber. Raymond Burr is one of the speakers. In his speech he mentions Robert Benevides and calls him his partner. I think he was a beautiful person and I will always love him. He had a few hang ups, but then who doesn’t.

@@BrisLS1 duh, he was the target of McCarthy. I am sure he had to invent some biographies to put a roof over his head!
Thank you, but you did not mention his role in the English version of: "GODZILLA" (1956)! I still watch "Perry Mason" on MeTV, Monday through Friday; it's still one of the best TV programs!
Raymond Burr is my all time favorite actor! I love rear window because he was in it and was great as the villain! So what if he was gay! You couldn't tell! He will be missed!!
One of the best actors to be on a television screen is Perry Mason was just the greatest in the beginning of each show which was about a minute he did more acting with his eyes and his mannerism that most of these actors the day you can do in their whole rules whatever they're playing he certainly has misseddash out on some of the awards that he should have received
For an actor who looked like he was custom made to spend his life doing beer commercials, he did OK. Burr and Hopper were originally cast to play different roles. Hopper was cast as Mason, Burr as Drake. They filmed a pilot that just didn't work. A film editor suggested they re-shoot the pilot with Hopper and Burr in one another's roles. They did that, and the rest is television history. Hopper, btw, was Hedda's son.
Those beautiful piercing eyes! I hated that Johnny Carson was so mean to him, ridiculing his weight. Raymond Burr was a class act. I hated that Perry Mason ended.
PERRY MASON WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON EVER. GAIL PATRICK JASKON WAS THE TOP PRODUCER. SHE WAS AWESOME. CHECK OUT HER BACK GROUND. GOD USED HER TO TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER. SHE WAS AN ACTOR HERSELF AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. GOD BLESS THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FOLLOWERS LIKE ME AND YOU. WHO CAN SAY ; THEY WERE GREAT. THANK YOU LORD OUR GOD YHVH. IN YESHUA JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN . I GIVE THAT SHOW A10 FOR EVERY SHOW WRITTEN. SHALOM ISRAEL AND THE IDF AND IAF AND USA MILITARY AND JGW ARMY COMBAT ENGINEERS VETERAN.WHO CARES ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO CARES FOR THE PEOPLE.
6/13/2020. Watcbing original Zilla on Comet right now. Burr's name in flick is Steve Martin.🤔. Da Zilla's still the best actor in this. Long Live Da Zilla!
I had the hots for him so bad. Especially with facial hair. His partner Robert is really nice. I met him and had a glass of wine with him at the vineyard they own.
Raymond Burr was great as was all the actors and actresses in Perry Mason. However, you should watch Warren William in his portrayal of Perry Mason in several movies done in the 1930s. Intelligent, daring, attorney who did most of his own investigations even though he had a private detective in his employ. Very, very witty. A real cad. Completely different from Burr's portrayal.
Unfortunately, yes he was gay. I forgot his lovers name but his lover did a interview about Raymond Burr living his last days with him I believe in Hawaii and said that Mr. Burr said if he died with $10.00 in his pocket that would be to much. Love his heart. Love him so much myself.
It was rumored in Hollywood that Raymond Burr was a closet gay that like black boys I can't remember who wrote it in there autobiography in the late 80s.
Not entirely accurate. Raymond was most emphatically NOT gay. Friend and business partner Robert clearly was. It was a father and son relationship, Robert addressed Raymond as 'Sir'. Raymond was 100% straight, I have never seen so much testosterone in my life. He was married 3 times, divorced once. 2 wives and son died. He was the most honest man I ever met. Great pity honour and integrity do not sell papers and books!
I met them both, spent an absolutely wonderful time talking to Raymond when he was filming the Case of the Desperate Deception in Paris December 1989. Watched him on set for 3 days. Saw and interviewed him in his hotel suite with Robert Benevedes in background, he was acting as his assistant, dealing with his appointments, putting clothes out etc. Robert addressed Raymond as 'Sir'. Raymond was very kind and attentive to me, even though I was nobody, and gad a wonderful sense of humour. He took time to clarify what my questions were and I have never seen such honesty and integrity in my life, he shone with it. And also deplored the lack of it in others at times. He had a strong Christian faith and God used him very powerfully. Raymond adored women, and they adored him back, but he was definitely NOT 'one of the girls'. I asked if he would write an autobiography, he said perhaps, but not about all the women he had slept with, he would NEVER write about that, and was clearly telling the truth. So, I am talking from personal experience, not fake news stories designed to sell papers and trash an amazing man's integrity and reputation. Robert Benevedes gay, absolutely. Raymond Burr absolutely not. Unfortunately Robert gained attention, kudos and no doubt financially by allowing the story to run and continue, but I have absolutely NO doubt Raymond Burr was straight and incapable of the sort of deception being a cupboard gay entailed.
This is BULLSHIT! This video uses a still of him from "Godzilla" TWICE! And not one mention of the two Godzilla movies he participated in. Ironic considering "Godzilla" helped him get the Perry Mason role and in the 80's he tried to obtain the rights to the Godzilla character.
And not a word about Robert Benevides, Burr's only true love and his partner during the last 33 years of his life? Strange and even more so when you consider that your video is so preoccupied with the wealth accumulated by Burr, and Benevides was the sole heir of his fortune.
Right...I wanted to know more about the men or man he loved. We all know he made a lot of money. I want to know who unzipped him and how they kept it secret.
@@duanethamm4688 Absolute rubbish! Most of this is lies. He was the straightest, most honest man I ever met. Robert was NOT his gay lover, although he may well have wanted to be. I met them both, what gay lover addresses partner as 'Sir'? And my surname is Sutherland, the same as his wife's, the one he had a son with, both died. When Robert c Mistakenly called me Sullivan, Raymond corrected him saying, "I am very familiar with the name Sutherland' and for a moment he was clearly remembering.
Nobody takes anything with them when they. The only thing you can take with you is the assurance that you are going to heaven if you truly believe 1Corinthians 15:1-4. Otherwise, you will be sent to hell. You can 'take THAT to the bank'.
I have always been told that Raymond Burr was a flaming gay person who spoke in a high voice, totally unlike his acting voice. I have nothing against this at all but I have always wondered if this is true. It would be interesting to know what actors had to conceal to have a career in Hollywood at this time. My mother loved Perry Mason.
Definitely untrue. Who told you those lies? See my other post. Incredibly honest and honourable man of integrity and faith. Wonderful deep voice, absolutely no airs and graces. I was a nobody but with me he was hospitable, humorous and entertaining. God's light shone in Raymond Burr.
Raymond Burr is my favorite actor of all time! He was great as Perry Mason and in the movie Rear Window!

Damn, I didn’t know the Ray-man drove on the left side of the road. Who cares, great actor.
He was a wonderful actor and a good man. It is sad that he had to keep his homosexuality a secret. Rest In Peace Raymond!
I loved this actor.
He's was an excellent actor.
Love him so much.

The music gave me a facial tic the rest of the day
Lol

So intrusive!
