RIP Barbara Hale
2017 is not off to such a great start. Rest well Della Street, we'll miss you. Say hi to Perry for us.

If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

I'm a big fan of Raymond Burr and I watch Perry Mason regularly. Barbara Hale's Della Street is such a charming aspect of the show and she had that great chemistry with Burr and a twinkle in her eye. She contributed a lot to the show even in a limited role.

Man, January is turning out to be a crappy month. My parents were religious watchers of "Perry Mason" and, by extension, I've come to watch the show on a regular basis. The chemistry between Burr, Hale, William Hopper, and even William Talman (who portrayed Hamilton Burger, perhaps the unluckiest D.A. ever) was, and is, always great and reminds me a bit of the same chemistry portrayed in the Kirk-Spock-McCoy triumvirate, but Barbara Hale was always the one that seemed able to find a way to motivate Mason into getting the job done. She was a wonderful and underrated actress. RIP, Ms. Hale, you'll always live on through reruns and new fans.sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment
