@@FactsVerse Well, I have watched Perry Mason for the last 54 years and I like the episodes with Raymond Burr in them the best! Thats a joke! I have to say I just enjoy them all. His voice, demeanor the whole person, I would have liked to have known him, I think he was very kind.
I became aware of Raymond’s hidden life long after his death. I still watch reruns of Perry Mason on Sundance. Amazing man with an extraordinary career. End of story. RIP, Ray. Amen
@@FactsVerse There’s no way to pick a favorite episode of any show for me. It’s like trying to pick your favorite fruit from a mixed fruit orchard. They all have their season.
He was a fascinating man. And what is most known about him is the fact , that everyone loved him. His co actors who worked with him loved him and stayed friends with him through our his life even knowing he was gay. Not caring about even in a time when it was taboo to be gay . I loved him in his rolls he played. When I found out he was gay I was stunned, but when I found out how wonderful he was to everyone how he stayed faithful to his partner. I had nothing but respect. And still love and miss him. Told my wife he was one of my favorites . And me and my wife still watch his old perry mason shows.
@@FactsVerse Ha, I'm watching Perry Mason right now on MeTV. The Case Of The Tarnished Trademark. I honestly couldn't pick just one episode, I love them all!
I loved watching his shows as a child and even now as an adult. It doesn't bother me in the least. To keep it hidden during that time was probably best and his business.
What a classy gentleman! I grew up, like many kids from the late Sixties and Seventies, watching PERRY MASON and IRONSIDES reruns in Los Angeles. No one ever mentioned Raymond's sexuality while he was still alive. Perhaps his role on IRONSIDES is meant to be a tribute to outsiders everywhere.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which Perry Mason episode is the most memorable for you?
I absolutely love Raymond Burr. Watching Perry Mason is part of my wind-down ritual before going to bed during the work week. Funny, on Christmas morning, I was channel surfing, and stumbled upon Godzilla! What a great way to start the holiday! 😉❤😁
I used to see him in a gay bar on La Cienega in Los Angeles called The Cabaret Club in the 1960s and 1970s. He was always charming and polite to me, never lecherous. I've always been a fan of his work, from radio to television to films. Great actor.
@@Jaque1961 I was 16 at the time, but because I was tall I was served. But yes, I am an older person. I've seen my share of celebrities and he was by far the kindest.
@@JosephStJames2000 Aww, that is so nice. I've read he was kind to everyone on the set and every actor and actress. They didn't card you at 16?? Good old days. 😊
@@FactsVerse Anything that highlights an actor's skills, and talent and not their dirty laundry. An in-depth on Howard Caine (Cohen), AKA Major Wolfgang Hochstetter on Hogan's Heroes, as IMHO he was a very talented, but, underrated actor. Thanks.
Raymond Burr was a very good actor to me in what few movies I saw him in. The series that he played in such as Perry Mason and Ironside were the two best series he stared in. Now I must say about his personal life well it's not important to me! He chose to be what he wanted, I couldn't change it and I'm sure no one else could either. But I thank you Facts Vers for telling us about his occupation again I say thanks 👍
The COMET channel recently showed his first role in Godzilla (1956).Did his girth contribute to him using a cane in the Perry Mason TV movies from the 80s and 90s?
I prefer the actors of days gone by. They managed to keep their private lives private. (Most of them) Raymond Burr was an awesome actor. May he continue to rest peacefully. 🕊️🙏❤️ Thank you, my friends!😊 I wasn't aware he was gay and as I've said before, what people do in their bedrooms is their business. Utmost respect for him.
My mother loved Perry Mason/ Raymond Burr. As a child , mama would watch this show Perry Mason. When dad would pull up in the drive way, mama would run to turn off the TV. Dad was jealous of that character. After I had my daughter many yrs later, I named my daughter PERI... After Perry Mason
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which Perry Mason episode is the most memorable for you?
As I once heard that Raymond Burr had a bad back caused by arthritis and that the “Ironsides” character was in order to be in a wheelchair so he would not have to walk, bend over. Does anyone know if that’s true?
I'd already read elsewhere, probably online, that he was gay. Don't recall where. So, expecting this to be about a physical condition he suffered from it was an anticlimax to have the "big reveal" be that he was gay.
I’m not sure how valid any argument for telling ‘tall tales’ is, particularly when it’s your profession to do that very thing on screen. It was also the very early years of television, which is totally different to theatre or stage acting - maybe he just did what most good actors, and *every* great comedian does almost 100% of the time - make up stories because his life wasn’t lived such that he could recount his many happy memories and anecdotes with male partners. I’m in my early to mid fifties - I’m 53 - but as a teen and young adult, I loved watching him Ironside, he was a brilliant actor. There was something about watching older black and white films and TV Series’ that seemed more professional than some modern rubbish. I’ve never known a time with so many channels with nothing additional to actually watch; and to watch repeats of shows made in the last 5 years on several channels simultaneously, with an hour between them, or in HD and standard, is absolutely infuriating - especially as we’re still obliged to pay the BBC for the pleasure of watching FREEVIEW or Virgin Media for example!! I miss a lot of B/W films - Westerns mostly, and we played Cowboys and Indians with our fellow British friends - can you imagine playing SEAL’s vs Taliban? Or even Marvel heroes against Terrorists? With IED’s and false beards? There’d be real casualties in the name of ‘innocent fun’ instead of living virtual and completely unrealistic games that bare no resemblance to reality whatsoever, entertaining as many are, they’re bad for social skills required for adult life - said my Dad 😂 “Space Invaders”? “Pac-Man”? and what on earth do you see in trying to get a frog across a bloody motorway? What was wrong with good old Pong? Or Skeet? Ahhhh, the good old days before ‘Footy in the park’ with lads you’d never met before. Sending kids to “Play outside, get some fresh air” is a punishment now compared to getting grounded and sent to bed early - their bedroom’s are like Holiday Amusement Arcades - better in most cases when they’ve got music going and lasers everywhere 😂
One of the best for sure, and I still watch Perry Mason... I always thought William Hopper, (Paul Drake) and Bill Talman (Hamilton Burger), were light in the loafers as well.
It was wonderful how he left funds for the Raymond Burr Theatre in New Westminster, where a dinner theatre flourished for several years at an affordable price for all.
Among the greatest acting roles played by Raymond Burr, his part in Rear Window was among his best. What a shame that he lived in a time where he felt the need to be closeted.
Raymond Burr... Didn’t matter what role he played, lead or bit parts, always had a commanding presence bot physically and verbally. I’m sorry he had to live his personal life so quietly. I know he had debilitating back problems brought on by malignant kidney tumor which he had removed. God Bless You Raymond Burr.
I don’t think he was so much closeted as he was keeping his private life, well, private. I liked him in all his roles either as good guys or heavies….. Best roles were Perry Mason and Ironside and they both have terrific casts.
Raymond Burr was a wonderful actor and a good man. I am so sorry that he had to hide who he was to maintain his career. Thank you for this compassionate video about him. There are many others out there that are sub par and cruel.💖
The only part of this video I love is a bit of history for one amazing actor. His sexual preference does not diminish who he is and always will be. His line delivery is spot on, much like And Griffin, and the amazing Don Knots. Promptly conveying their lines seamlessly. Unlike today's television shows.
Raymond Burr was one of many Hollywood stars that led a secret life, it was just the era he lived in. That said, his personal life did not interfere w/his versatile acting ability. Whether film, radio, or TV...he conquered them all, he was truly one of the greats. R.I.P.
He would not have become such a marvelous actor had he not been forced to grow against all odds. He had the relationship with his friend for over 3 decades which tells a whole lot about the xxxxxl size of his character.
At this day and age, many of us wont care - we will only look at his exceptional acting - a grand career But we need to understand that a basic livlihood would have been extremely difficult- acting or otherwise had he come out Imagine having to hide everything that u hold dear - the basic of whom you are I feel sad that anyone has to be so in hiding He used to show people are horrible for blackmail and he makes sure most things aboit him were hidden till hia death A legend indeed - I DONT CARE ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY
I think he was a great actor and donot care what sexual he like I loved Rock hutson he was gay two so what it's what your born like still fabulous people and glad we got to know them Thankyou for your films
@@FactsVerse sorry, cannot recall a full episode as it was a long time ago but there was one where he encounters a former japanese officer who interrogated him during the war.
Remember in the 50s and 60s in the U.S., gay employees lost their jobs just on the suspicion of being gay. Even a co-worker could report their suspicion, and you lost your job. The fact you were not married was reason enough for your dismissal. Tens of thousands were fired for this reason for both private and governmental jobs. Burr would never have had these jobs in TV and Movies if he “came out”. But here is a fact that is more interesting. Most of the Perry Mason TV episodes had no juries. This was justified as that these were “pre-trial hearings”. The reasons for this were.. 1. It saved money and time in not casting actors for juries. 2. It gives more money to Raymond Burr. 3. The area for where the juries were situated were useful for excellent camera shots of the main characters.
As a gay man myself and one who hid his sexuality from the 'public' for most of his adult life i can honestly say i was never in excruciating pain as a result of keeping it a secret .Where on earth do you dig up nonsensical comments like this?
Let us leave his private life aside. Was he a great actor or not.? HE WAS. I watch his films ,especially his role as Perry Mason. Great. Actors of that era had class, had style ,distinguished themselves. Sadly it is a different story today
Wow! I didn't know that Raymond Burr was gay he hid it so well I'm sure there are others that didn't know he was gay I'm sure I'm not the only one but then there probably are others that he just couldn't hide his secret from they knew but didn't want to jeopardize his career by saying anything I'm sure people were quite touchy about that kind of thing back then not like these days where it is more excepted and if he were alive today I'm sure he would be well excepted and could come out of the closet with it but I don't think it's ever going to be fully excepted by everybody cause some people just plan don't go for that kind of thing like myself for instance I can't say as I fully understand these kinds of feels I mean to be able to fall in love with the same sex as yourself I mean yeah love is love no matter who it is you fall in love with but anyway I think the majority of the people have excepted it but you're always going to have those that don't and I'm not necessarily saying that I don't per say, just that I don't understand these kind of feelings.
Raymond Burr had too much character in the face to be a matinee idol. So I think his homosexuality wouldn't have been a career breaker at all, as long as his private life were an open secret. Such a condition could preclude a person from taking political stands, or championing gay rights.
I dont get the lies about having a son who died of cancer and of taking him on a year long trip around the world, and lying about not just being a vet, but a wounded vet, at that!!!

The fact you were not married was reason enough for your dismissal. Tens of thousands were fired for this reason for both private and governmental jobs.

1. It saved money and time in not casting actors for juries.
2. It gives more money to Raymond Burr.
3. The area for where the juries were situated were useful for excellent camera shots of the main characters.
Don't isolate yourself around straight people , so there won't be any need to hide anything.
Who care was he Gay or Not i saw him as one of the Greats Actor Of All Time i Love Perry Mason Show and still watching it now every night ❤❤❤
As a gay man myself and one who hid his sexuality from the 'public' for most of his adult life i can honestly say i was never in excruciating pain as a result of keeping it a secret .Where on earth do you dig up nonsensical comments like this?
YES
Let us leave his private life aside.
Was he a great actor or not.?
HE WAS. I watch his films ,especially his role as Perry Mason. Great. Actors of that era had class, had style ,distinguished themselves.
Sadly it is a different story today
Wow! I didn't know that Raymond Burr was gay he hid it so well I'm sure there are others that didn't know he was gay I'm sure I'm not the only one but then there probably are others that he just couldn't hide his secret from they knew but didn't want to jeopardize his career by saying anything I'm sure people were quite touchy about that kind of thing back then not like these days where it is more excepted and if he were alive today I'm sure he would be well excepted and could come out of the closet with it but I don't think it's ever going to be fully excepted by everybody cause some people just plan don't go for that kind of thing like myself for instance I can't say as I fully understand these kinds of feels I mean to be able to fall in love with the same sex as yourself I mean yeah love is love no matter who it is you fall in love with but anyway I think the majority of the people have excepted it but you're always going to have those that don't and I'm not necessarily saying that I don't per say, just that I don't understand these kind of feelings.
Why is it every dog tries to dig up bones after they're burried and cant defend themselves.
He auditioned for the role of Paul Drake. Not the DA.
Raymond Burr had too much character in the face to be a matinee idol. So I think his homosexuality wouldn't have been a career breaker at all, as long as his private life were an open secret. Such a condition could preclude a person from taking political stands, or championing gay rights.
Wow First 👌
Actually, I think we watched it first ;)
@@FactsVerse but you forgot to say first stupid
*I don't see how he was a "trailblazer who paved the way for other gay actors" (**6:11**) since he remained in the closet for his entire life.*
I heard he was gay

I dont get the lies about having a son who died of cancer and of taking him on a year long trip around the world, and lying about not just being a vet, but a wounded vet, at that!!!
❤❤❤❤
Gay or not, a fantastic actor.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
