“Lost my beautiful mom Barbara Hale yesterday (Thursday) afternoon,” Katt wrote. “She left peacefully at her home in Sherman Oaks surrounded by close family and dear friends. We’ve all been so lucky to have her for so long.”
Hale began her career as a model, but she made dozens of film appearances beginning in the mid-1940’s before moving to the small screen. In the 1950’s, she appeared on programs such as “Science Fiction Theatre,” “Schlitz Playhouse,” “Playhouse 90” and “The Millionaire.”
She became a star with `”Perry Mason,” which ran from 1957 to 1966.

Wow, Mary Tyler Moore, Mike Connors, and Barbara Hale in three days.
And John Hurt
John Hurt just died too..so that’s four
We have over a year of Perry Mason’s recorded and watch an episode every night. RIP Della.
>>>John Hurt just died too..so that’s four<<<
Second set of three . . .
***Wow, Mary Tyler Moore, Mike Connors, and Barbara Hale in three days.***
John Hurt.
I saw on the local news that there are several viruses going around nationally.
One of them, the Norovirus will just make healthy people feel really bad but I suspect that for elderly people who are already infirm it might be enough to take them.
We are huge fans of Perry Mason shows, too. They still them at night on MeTV. By now we know all of them.
Quick trivia question: What was Lt. Tragg’s first name?
Arthur?
Yes! You win...although I’m not sure what.
Tragg was my favorite character from the show.
I did not remember that. I might have noted it as it is my father's name.
We've been recording them on our DVR from MeTV. We used to try to watch them real time, but since they come on at 11:30pm our time, we were ALWAYS falling asleep during the show, often just before the murderer was revealed. We finally decided to record, fast forward through those soporific commercials, and find out who done it on OUR time! We're currently watching those we recorded during the 2015 pre-Christmas season.;-) We've got over 260 recorded. It's kind of funny, we don't always remember "who done it" because we still fall asleep.
Inflation?
Old wive’s claim that deaths occur in threes . . . and you don’t argue with old wives!
Did you ring Perry?
She was a doll.
I'm thankful I had an opportunity to share the acting work of these people.
Thanx, Barbara ... rest now.
An episode starts in just a few minutes.
I might just watch it for a few minutes. Neither Burgher or Tragg are in this one.
