She was a babe. I remember an interesting fact. The guy who portrayed Paul Drake’s Son on the much later revival of the series was in fact the Son of the actress who played Della Street. For some reason I can’t recall her name.
My favorite character on the show was Lt. Tragg (Ray Collins). He appeared less and less as the series went on, probably due to his age.
We actually own all nine seasons. Barabara Hale played Miss Street. Ray Collins was sickly, and the series wasn’t the same without him. For some reason, he never seemed quite the loser that Hamilton Burger was. And for whatever personal problems he had, Raymond Burr WAS Perry Mason, and the platonic ideal of lawyers ever since.
