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.
