Burr, Raymond William Stacey

Burr, Raymond William Stacey
1994

      U.S. actor (b. May 21, 1917, New Westminster, B.C.—d. Sept. 12, 1993, near Healdsburg, Calif.), created formidable and enduring television characters, including the legendary criminal lawyer "Perry Mason" (1957-66) and the wheelchair-confined San Francisco detective "Ironside" (1967-75). Prior to his television career, he portrayed a series of villains in films, most memorably the white-haired wife killer in Alfred Hitchcock's suspense classic Rear Window. The actor, who specialized in portraying screen heavies, appeared as a deported gangster in His Kind of Woman, a crooked club owner in Meet Danny Wilson, and a stalker in A Cry in the Night. He also had a brief stint (March-August 1977) as the chief reporter and editor in chief of a newspaper and media organization in the television crime drama "Kingston: Confidential." His courtroom drama was revived in 1985 when he returned as Perry Mason, appeals court judge, for a television film; thereafter Burr made about three television films a year, most frequently appearing as lawyer Perry Mason, the role that had earned him two Emmy awards.
