  • This is a jewel, where did you get it. Such a young Jack Webster! Burr seems quite uncomfortable.

  • From a friend; Webster used to have a half-hour show on KVOS in the early 1960s that was mostly issue-and-investigative story focused.

  • What a delight!!! The late great Raymond Burr was one of my all time favorite actors. Though he portrayed a lot of nogoodniks over the years, off screen he was an intelligent, artistic, creative, humble, kind, generous & gentle man. He really did work his rear off during his long career. 90 pictures in 10 years! And then TWO consecutive long running shows! Incredible work ethic! "Perry Mason" is my favorite TV show. I miss this wonderfully talented & gifted gentleman! THANKs for posting!

  • He is far more frank and articulate than any actor I can think of today.

  • RUDEST interviewer ever.

  • Great find!!!!

  • @tommyrock69 Actually, George Clooney comes to mind. George borrows a LOT from Burr in his delivery on screen.

  • There are no actors like this today. Not a one.

  • In the book "Hiding in Plain Sight" (all about Burr's life)....it seemed to be implied that the gossip collumnist Hedda Hopper worked out a deal....if burr would hire on her son William Hopper as Paul Drake she would cover up his sexuality and write only very straight, macho things about Burr in her gossip collumn. I did not get the Idea that it was black mail because it seemed that Hedda Hopper and burr were friends

  • @PhilsCinema yes, raymond burr was gay......no big deal now....but a very big deal if it were known then. Read the Book "Hiding in Plain Sight" about the life of Raymond Burr. Some really interesting reading if you like the Perry Mason series. From reading the book....no one ever had a bad thing to say about him. In fact everyone associated with the PM TV series were treated very well by Burr.

  • Godzilla with Raymond Burr is one of my favourite films to watch.

  • @JubalCalif I agree, he seems to be a normal guy.
