Raymond Burr was gay? This makes the fourth Gay Hunk that I've crushed on 😂🤔, I blame those stunning eyes of his.

How have I been a fan for so long and not known about this fact?

I found it tragic that Burr had to hide his relationship with his partner, of 35+ years, Robert Benevides.

As a Perry Mason fan, I want to publicly post a toast to the actor who made the Perry Mason character a Hollywood legend and the one who was his partner.

👇

AnnCrystal Raymond Burr and Robert Benevides, may you two have reunited in the hereafter and discovered that your love for each other remains alive. May the two of you forevermore be happy together.

I hope to one day visit the vineyard you began as a couple, and (even though I don't drink) properly sip a toast to you both with Raymond Burr wine.

Alway a fan 🥂💝.

AnnCrystal @kspenmoll 👏🏼🥳📺💝. Love that. I introduced Perry Mason to my mom, we both just love his show no matter how many times we've watched each episode before 📺💝. 2w
AnnCrystal @dabbe Truly. I found it tragic that he had to lie and make up stories about his personal life.

He gifted us with his incredible acting talent 🏆🎭 and I can't believe how he would have been lost to Hollywood if people had known back then.

Classic pulp fiction, and my first Perry Mason. Always assumed he was a detective, but is actually a lawyer.

A product of its time, I still wonder how he could analyse a broad‘s legs through binoculars while she‘s driving a car, perhaps the greatest mystery of all. Having said that he is happily working with intelligent women he respects, it wasn‘t all chauvinism.

Fun read, and I love the well journeyed cover.

This is one of the later Perry Mason novels, and I‘ve read other reviews that called it rushed and formulaic. While I agree in part with this assessment, there is something about watching Mason figure out the culprit that makes everything worthwhile. I also keep picturing Raymond Burr delivering the dialogue! A fun, quick read. #192025 #1964

I remember my mom watching reruns of the Perry Mason TV show when I was a kid, & when the movies came out, we‘d hang out by the TV to watch Raymond Burr as Mason save the day.

This is the first time I‘ve read any of the series. Mason‘s skills are extraordinary as a lawyer; the helpless female personas were a little grating. But, this definitely had a twist I did not see coming. I just wish I liked the voice narration better. Pick, but barely.

MemoirsForMe Now there‘s a classic that brings back memories for me too! 😊👍🏻 1y

While some feel Chan is dated and out of step with present day sensitivities, when Biggers wrote these stories he was taking a bold step in portraying a Chinese as an educated, smart, family man. These were written in the time of the war era‘s “yellow peril” days. It‘s important to keep it in perspective. As usual one shouldn‘t judge the books by the tv and movies. Charlie is as different in the books as Perry Mason was. #perrymason #charlie chan
