Barbara Hale Home Page Guestbook Thank you for visiting. Click here to add a comment! Dear Barbara, I hope this finds you well and happy. I wanted to tell you how much I admire not only your talent as an actress, but more than that, your remarkable standard of life - something that cannot have been easy in a place like Hollywood. Your marriage to Bill was such an inspiration. What a lovely man he must have been! When I read about your committment to church attendance with your young family, it warms my heart. Years ago, my husband and I took our kids from our home in Dallas to California for a family vacation. Typical tourists, we bought a cheesy "Map of the Stars" and enjoyed driving by homes of famous actors. We each chose one that we especially wanted to see, and mine of course was yours. Do you know that my sweet husband drove us all the way out to Van Nuys to your address? I would have loved to tap on your door to tell you in person how much you've meant to me, but wouldn't have intruded upon your privacy. This guestbook is a much better venue for those sentiments. Oh, and one more thing - nobody holds a candle to your poise. On the set of Perry Mason it didn't matter whether you were sitting, or walking, or just standing in the middle of a room. You had the loveliest ankle position I've even seen. It must have been from your early years as a model! Thanks for the role of Della Street. A longtime humor columnist, I recently wrote about your character on my website, www.RattlingAroundinMyHead.com. I'd love for you to read it! Take care. You are a treasure! Lee Ann Lewis <lal@enersect.com> Coral Gables, FL USA - Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 23:56:54 (EDT) Dear Ms. Hale: 2009 is the year that my sisters and I are 70, 60 and 50 years of age, and we all spent part of our youth watching our mother lose herself in either reading E.S. Gardner novels or by watching "Perry Mason" on Saturday nights. She made marvelous meals every night, but on Saturdays we really looked forward to homemade hamburgers (maybe in honor of Ham. Berger, the worthy opponent) and to eating while watching Perry Mason on the TV in the livingroom. This wonderful family tradition came to a close, as the youngest of us was one of the original hyperactives and would not keep still during Mama's favorite prohram. As for me, I grew up expecting life's problems to be solved in an hour, and for murders to be a common occurrence in one's life and for Someone to always be able to get to the truth. I patterned my behavior after the professionalism I observed on the series. I never really thought of becoming an attorney, because in those days, female parts on TV usually role modeled at-wits-end/wait-until-your-father-gets-home, failed domestic referees rather than attorneys or highly competent professionals, such as you did in the character Della Street. Thank you for the part you played in providing a respectable and believable demonstration of what a professional woman might look like. As is so true in familial relationships these days, I saw you more frequently than any of my extended family, so it began to feel as if I knew you well. I felt badly back then that the characters of Perry and Della never became romantically involved.....my husband even found a piece of sheet music with your picture on it...Unchained Melody...and as that unspoken question was an ever present undulating undercurrent on the program, that title kind of says it all. I'm so glad there is this outlet to contact an important member of my (seems like you're) family. Continued happiness to you and yours, Adee Weckert <adeewm@yahoo.com> Salem, OR USA - Tuesday, June 09, 2009 at 02:36:43 (EDT) Mrs. Hale-- i ditto all the stuff everybody else says about you and your work. my mom was a childhood pal of yours. her name was Barbara George. do you remember her? she sure as heck remembered you. we'd watch Perry Mason reruns together when i was a kid, and she'd talk about what an extraordinarily nice person you were. i guess this would have been when she was in high school, at Hollywood High. i trust you're well. after forty years, i think i've still got a crush on you. --clem robins Clem Robins <crobins@cinci.rr.com> cincinnati, oh USA - Monday, June 01, 2009 at 08:45:26 (EDT) Miss Hale, I am re-discovering the Perry Mason series again and plan on doing so many more times throughout my life. I just want to thank you for the hours of enjoyment you have given me. I will always have something to look forward to. I know that sounds a little silly, but it is how I feel about a couple of things in life. Fond memories Miss Hale. You ARE a ladies Lady. Dean USA - Friday, May 22, 2009 at 19:51:34 (EDT) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Dearest Barbara Hale wanted to thank you for your delightful and memorable contributions to the entertainment industry.Hope this greeting finds you happy and doing well. Wishing you only the best on this very special occasion. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Jay Payton <jaypay111@aol.com> Dallas, Texas USA - Saturday, April 18, 2009 at 16:42:24 (EDT) Dear Barbara, A friend from Rockford sent me the link to your website. My Mom was Bettie Erickson-Israel, West HS '40. After seeing all of the entries from Rockford, I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the old West High pictures and articles from my Mom's high school scrapbook. Her life-long friends from West were Barbara Lund-Hammes, Arlene Fitzgerald-Schrom, Janet Fitzgerald-Furseth, Dorothy Hunter-Grannis, Suzanne(Sue)Gleichman-Johnson, Pat Taphorn, Betty Flagle-Reece, Janet Hudson (moved away but I met her at my Grandfather's funeral - she was a model and very beautiful). Some of the pictures were taken after graduation when you had, according to your bio, probably already moved to Chicago to pursue your career. I lost my Mom in '92 but remember her talking about you and how happy she was for you and all of your successes. I think you might have attended one of her last West reunions... maybe '90 ? I miss her every day. I live in Vinings,Georgia and my brother, Barry, lives in HoChiMinh City, Viet Nam and Santa Barbara, CA. We lost my brother Brad, in 2004 at age 40. I hope you and your family are well and happy. I also hope the link to the album works for you. Let me know by email if you have problems. It is possible to email the album directly from the Photoworks website to an email address.

I have been a Perry Mason enthusiast ever since the television series aired on our local television Channel 7. Today I relive the delight as I purchase the Seasons as they become available. I especially enjoy the 50th Anniversary set, it's just wonderful to have your firsthand comments on each episode and I particularly love hearing your impressions of the wonderful Raymond Burr. What a special human being. Having said that I add that I love you too, Barbara. You were exquisite in "Jolson Sings Again" and then to see you as Della Street was just superb. You have a natural charm, a sincerity which is often missing from the performances of so many actors, no matter how accomplished they may be. You bring a real beauty, a sensitity, a natural joy to the screen. With our wonderful Raymond, you are a rare and beautiful person and I love you. Lyn Lyn Chiltonb <lhallyn@bigpond.com> Woodend, Qld Australia - Friday, March 20, 2009 at 04:10:06 (EDT) Dear Barbara, My husband Jeff and I have just treated ourselves to the complete Perry Mason Collection and are enjoying every minute. I read the Perry Mason's when my Mum got them from the library and eventually got them myself once I got into the "grown-ups library", then we watched them on TV many times and here Jeff and I are, in our sixties and relishing them again. Thank you so much for all the pleasure and the wonderful professional teamwork. I worked in a legal office with a very close team and it was great. Love and thanks Barbara Barbara Hardaker <barbara.hardaker@btinternet.com> Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire England - Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 15:42:22 (EDT) Hello Barbara Hale, I have just started watching your shows and perry mason is one of the best detective shows. It is just unbelievable how raymond can be so confident in his role as perry not to mention the efforts of William Hopper. It was wonderful to see such a professional relationship within your office on the show. Great job on the show. And I am sure you will be always remembered. Ram Ram kumar <ramkumar03@yahoo.com> Chennai, TN India - Monday, March 09, 2009 at 14:10:22 (EDT) Hi Barbara I have been a fan of yours since I was 12 years old - I am now 60 - have you been to England and did you like our Princess Diana - I think you are fabulous love your family and your lovely curly haired son Sue Harrington <susan.harrington@tiscali.co.uk> London, England UK - Sunday, March 08, 2009 at 16:52:47 (EDT) bayou and Bill knew my father Sid Brown in chicago Wesley Bowman studio 2177374223 bob brown <bobbrown1929@yahoo.com> mason city, il USA - Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 12:20:11 (EST) Thank you so much for your work on Perry Mason. It is one of my favorite TV shows from my childhood. I remember watching the series while lying on the floor in the family room with my mother, father brother and sisters. My dad has a season on DVD and sometimes I steal it to bring home and watch! Vito Pirri <vpirri@rogers.com> Toronto, ON CANADA - Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 19:14:33 (EST) Dear Barbara, I used to love Perry Mason myself and I loved Della, I miss her. Hope you're well and taking care. God Bless. Jo <jothouas@optusnet.com.au> East Oakleigh, Victoria Australia - Saturday, February 07, 2009 at 05:58:50 (EST) Dear Barbara, Thank you so much for you work on Perry Mason. As Della, you showed warmth, kindness, professionalism, competency and charm. In short, you were awesome! Perry Mason remains as one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm not sure if I have watched more reruns of I Love Lucy or Perry Mason, but I believe it is the latter! God Bless You, Dear Lady! Walt Walt Christen <Walt_Christen@yahoo.com> Beaverton, OR USA - Tuesday, February 03, 2009 at 04:03:38 (EST) Thank you for all these years of quality entertainment and fine acting per Perry Mason. dan rice USA - Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 19:37:53 (EST) Dear Barbara, You gave beauty, grace, intelligence, and charm to the character of Della Street. Thanks so much for your work over the years. You and Raymond Burr created the cutest couple ever to appear on television, both in the Perry Mason series and the movies. I would love to hear from you. Again, many thanks and may God Bless you always. Margaret <mcoetjen@comcast.net> So. Holland, IL USA - Monday, January 26, 2009 at 13:21:37 (EST) As I sit and watch yet another episode of Perry Mason, I can't help but notice the 'glance' you give Perry during every show opening. You look at some papers, then give Perry a series of looks and body gestures that still amaze me. Shear genius. You are a great actress! Jim Cobb <jcobb001@socal.rr.com> Santa Clarita, CA USA - Monday, January 19, 2009 at 20:47:34 (EST) Dearest Barbara Hale, My name is Amy and my mother, Nancy Smulders said that you and she were related. Your mother, and Helen Beastrum (My Grandmother) were half sisters? Is this true? My mother always watched Perry Mason, and always said what a beautiful child you were. She passed away 14yrs ago, and I just wanted to know how you two are related. Can you help me out? Thank you sincerely, Amy Amy Broniec <Cupsgr4u@aol.com> St. Petersburg, Fl USA - Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 21:11:52 (EST) Barbara Hale, You are such a great actress and person, I would love to write you a fan letter, if you could give me a fan address. Thank you, Lonnie Borden you have meant the world to me. Lonnie Borden <lonnie_eb@yahoo.com> Graham, Texas USA - Thursday, January 08, 2009 at 18:09:44 (EST) Dear Mrs. Hale, My wife and I are enormous Perry Mason fans, both the original series (a classic), and the made-for-T.V. movies. The chemistry that Raymond Burr (we love him, too --- may God rest him) and you shared was wonderful. The grace and class that you brought to the role of Della Street were major ingredients in the success of Perry Mason. When we think of Perry, we think of Della --- the two will be forever linked in the minds and hearts of all true Perry Mason fans. So, thank you for the fantastic memories. May the Lord bless you with health and happiness in 2009! The Best, Jack and Gladys Jack and Gladys - Sunday, January 04, 2009 at 21:56:13 (EST) Mrs. Hale I enjoyed your character on Perry Mason for years. I remember watching the show with my Mother she enjoyed mysteries and Mason knew how to solve them. If you have a chance please give me a email. Was your son played Paul Drake in the new Perry Mason shows? Have a Happy New Year. Diane Diane <Jacadunnology@aol.com> Chicago, ILL USA - Saturday, January 03, 2009 at 03:08:08 (EST) Is there somewhere I can send a letter to you?

I am the youngest daughter of Ruth Grogan (married name is now Morris) from Rockford Illinois and I was wondering if you remember my Mom. She has spoken fondly about you over the years. She's 87 now and doing well. I'm sure she would love to know that you're doing well. If you are able to reply, I will let her know or get her in touch with you.

Even after all these years since Ray's passing I was pleased to see an entry by you on the site 'Find A Grave', leaving a note and flowers for him. Hope all is well with you and your family. Best wishes....Russ Russ B. <russ@novuscom.net> Vancouver, BC Canada - Thursday, September 18, 2008 at 21:33:24 (EDT) I have no idea whether or not you ever see or know of things written on this website, but I wanted to thank you for you performances over the years. To me you personified all that which was decent when I was younger, and as read about your life I see how that conforms to the roles which you played--an actor whose role scripted for herself, devoid of ego, and simply being she who she actually is. Thank you for your art and your example. Alejandro Cantu <aldebaran97215@comcast.net> Portland, OR USA - Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 03:14:00 (EDT) I have been a fan of yours all my live.I think you were a very good Actress and I still love you. rudolph Klima <rudolfklima@yahoo.de> Mebourne, Vic Australia - Monday, September 01, 2008 at 07:55:52 (EDT) Hi Barbara, I met you at the Hollywood Studio Club in 1943. I was 10 and you invited me and my girlfriend to go to a tour the next day with you at RKO. It was the best day of my life. I never forgot you and how nice you were to us. You said our last names brought us together, we were both all wet. Mine was Waterfall and yours was Hale. I lived a few doors away and saw you often from time to time and you were always friendly and fun. Thanks for the memories. Barbara <barbwaterfall@att.net> Fortuna, CA USA - Monday, August 04, 2008 at 14:20:19 (EDT) Ms. Hale I just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed your role as Della Street in the TV series in the 50's and that I enjoyed the TV movies as well it broke my heart when Mr. Burr died, to me he will be the only one who will ever be know as "Perry Mason". At least I can still enjoy watching the 50's series on video via my computer. Wishing you all the best for your life, I remain a constant fan. Sincerely, Linda Frease Linda Frease <lindafrease@bellsouth.net> Denham Springs, La. USA - Monday, July 28, 2008 at 22:19:41 (EDT) Della/Barbara, For years I've wanted to tell you how pretty you are and always have been. Prettiness lasts forever and you are proof of it. I've loved your soft voice and eternal beauty. I've tried to emulate Della Street and Nora Charles(Myrna Loy) as sane, down to earth, fashionable, pretty women. So far I've done it. Today your movie, The First Time is on TCM with Robert Cummings. This must be the one about the bananas. Right? I also had the good luck to marry a wonderful man who has turned out to look like Perry Mason in his older years. Raymond Burr was a handsome man. I amm so thankful for this website so that I am able to tell you all this - at last! linda holder <holder44@juno.com> easley, sc USA - Monday, July 21, 2008 at 12:40:44 (EDT) Dear Miss Hale: First of all I was born in january 1953 in Havana, Cuba, and I remember watching Perry Mason with my mother and sister the show. I was 5 or 6 years old (Pre-Castro and during Castro) at that time when I became hook to the show and the music.(Very important that opening jingle) We later came to USA in 1961 only to continue watching Perry Mason and Della Street. As a kid I fell in love with you, and Perry was my ultimate hero, honest, integrity and all that Americana Way of life had to offer and meant. Today I am a succesfull Landscape Architect in Miami and I am currently watching as I write this to you the "Case of the Sun Bather's Diary". BTW can you re-call the show where Burger either hires Perry to defend him or someone close to him? Thank you for being so beautiful inside and out and being there every week when I was a kid. PS I also enjoy watching you in "Airport 77".

You both came across as two very nice people. Just a few days after Raymond Burr died a radio minister relayed a message from Mr Burr. Did you hear it?

I saw it as a kid and and have it in my collection of DVD's. I love the movie. Of course, I never missed the "Perry Mason" show. Gerald Rich <grich2@cfl.rr.com> Orlando, FL USA - Sunday, April 06, 2008 at 14:51:15 (EDT) Thank you for the class act series that has withstood so much time. All aspects were superior to the programs of today. It is a program I enjoyed growing up and one that I have introduced to my children. You and Raymond and the rest should be commended. Thank you for the lifelong entertainment. Tom O <tmcm1922@sbcgobal.net> USA - Sunday, March 30, 2008 at 01:16:32 (EDT) Dear Barbara, I was born in 1956 when the Perry Mason series started! I think I have seen every one, but I still watch everyday! Others have previously pointed it out, but I think it needs to be emphasized, that YOU really were a cutting edge character for your time. You were an independent woman who (not always - but most of the time) got Perry to see your point of view! But you were always respected by all the men in the series, AND, certainly by your admiring fans like me. :) Ms. Hale, I have so much love and admiration for you. I've sat and watched the Perry Mason show with my teenage daughter and she caught on that you weren't JUST a secretary. You were an integral part of that mystery solving legal team that we all continue to watch over and over. Day after day. Ms. Hale... Barbara, if I may... you have enriched all of our lives so very much. Thank you, and may God bless you and yours. Kindest Regards, Keith --- your fan in the OC Keith <info_2004@isp.com> Tustin, CA USA - Friday, March 21, 2008 at 03:24:10 (EDT) Watch the reruns everyday. Thank you for your presence in the series. My Mom (83)introduced us to the Perry Mason series. Still takes us a while to figure out "who done it?" Use you as an example to personify professionalism. Wish you and your family well. Connie Fontanoza <cfontanoza1@aol.com> Richmond, CA USA - Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 15:22:50 (EST) Living near The Bahai Temple, in Willmette, Ill., I am a Christian who wishes only that Earl Stanley Gardner had placed some prayer and religious practice in the Perry Mason series ... but the love you all earned in us is so precious, and the available DVDs are so complete and well done today! At 58, I think of you always when viewing, having read all 84 Perry Mason novels, always seeing you all as the epitome of the characterisations -- even the 2nd season Gerty being much like the Radio series version, and Paul Drake being portrayed so much better. Della of the radio series, some of which is available to hear through the Archive (http://www.archive.org/details/Perry_Mason_Radio_Show), clearly is reflected in your own depiction. Earl Gardner's biography mentioned his love for the 23rd Psalm during his last several days -- and his respect for his Mississippian wife so manifest in his discrete behaviour (amicable legal separation, out of respect for her Christianity), I do wish that "Perry" and "Della" had overtly appealed to God om prayer, even visited churches, in some of the episodes, since much of the evils which "Mason" fought against, in the real world, are those of brutal selfishness of man "independent" of God, 'The thought of the LORD are not in all his [the wicked man's] ways.' [Psalm 10.1-7] The warm, sincere empathy you show to the troubled, even when "Perry" is absent, warms my heart & soul, a life-long bachelor who hopes to meet you some day ... at the latest in Heaven! Be there for us, Barbara, won't you? GOD Bless you!

You know my dear cousin Martha Brown Porter passed away after having moved to Atlanta to be near her daughter, Lyn. Lyn and I keep in close contact via email, and I hope to get to see her (she's so beautiful, like her mother) one of these days. Loved reading all aobut your career, marriage, and kids but mostly enjoy knowing in my heart how close you and Martha were.

Just got a newsletter from Rockford Schools Alumni group reminding me that you were from Rockford too. Enjoy watching you on Perry Mason reruns every evening. You really made the character believable. Best Wishes Steve Autor <sautor@digcom.com> Danville, IL USA - Thursday, December 27, 2007 at 17:20:31 (EST) Dear Barb, I have known of you since growing up in Rockford and my Aunt Eleanor Williams Cox knew you and your sister Juanita. I have met your sister and her son while I was at West High in Rockford. My husband and I have enjoyed your movies and especially on TV with Raymond Burr. My aunt was such a good friend to me thru the years and I miss her very much. We always had such fun especially when her brothers were in town. I hope you are better by the time you read this and hope you had a lovely Christmas. Sincerely, Margie Priest Marjorie Priest <Patches69313@yahoo.com> Brecksville, OH USA - Wednesday, December 26, 2007 at 19:37:18 (EST) just to let della know that you are watched 5 nights a week by me. i have been a fan of yours and perry mason since it started, and am just glad that it is still shown on tv and that it has stayed in b/w. happy holidays to you... brian <bluesonly4me@yahoo.com> silver creek, ny USA - Wednesday, December 19, 2007 at 06:15:44 (EST) Thank you, Miss Hale, for the sparkle and spark you invested in every "Perry Mason" episode. We watch an episode every night -- it's become a favorite bedtime story. Did you ever write any of "Della"'s lines? M. H. P. Upstate, NY USA - Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 23:50:08 (EST) I wonder if anyone can help me with th following.I have many times watched "The Window" 1949 RKO which starred Bobby Driscoll and barbara Hale. My question is this:- what is the name of the actual street location for the tenement seen as the residence of the Woodrey's. In the film several references to 225,Hull/Old Street were made.The name may have been fictional for the film or may well have been an actual street in existence at the time the film was made.I'm sure Mrs Hale may well remember this, even though the street may no longer exist. I'd be ever so grateful for any information with regards to this enquiry. Thank you. John Mather. John Mather <j.mather@merseymail.com> St. Helens, England - Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 18:14:31 (EST) A real lady. Jonathan USA - Monday, December 03, 2007 at 19:00:35 (EST) I have watched Perry Mason for much of the 47 years I have been alive, and I am still curious and amazed at the working relationship Della Street and Perry Mason enjoyed. There was a tremondous chemistry between the two. Paul Drake would come in the office and call Della Beautiful all day long, but the way Della looked when Perry Mason walked into the room was awesome. Television says make it look real, so much that you think Perry was really a lawyer, but the connection between Della and Perry? I don't think a person can just (ACT) this way. Throughout the different episodes, Della (it appears) is letting Perry know that she really is in love with him, without her actually telling him, for example: the episode where this man was married to a woman who was an illegally in the country, and her stepdaughter who loved her tried to help her get rid of her so called cousin, who wanted money to keep his mouth shut. In the end Della ask Perry about exposing her. Perry basically said, if it isn't broke don't fix it. Then Perry asked Della if she had any secrets, and Della said I will never tell, but you knew the secret involved (her feelings for) Perry. Della took care of Perry more than just a secretary Lawyer relationship on the show. When each episode comes on and it show Perrt walking up to the judge and handing him some papers, and then Perry hands the papers to Della, then to Drake, then to Burgger, etc... when you look at Della looking at Perry, you see more than just a working relationship. She looks at Perry like he hung the sun and the moon, and he can do no wrong, and when any woman comes in his circle, Della is there to make sure that it is all business, and if Perry looks too long, she lets him know about it, write or wrong? Maybe they were just good actors, and if they were, I take my hat off to them and the writers. However, I personally feel that there was a strong love interest on camera, that may have continued off camera, even if it was only in the heart. Chester Randolph Sr <Southernman46@hotmail.com> Huntsville, Al USA - Sunday, November 25, 2007 at 01:58:21 (EST) i have watched perry mason for years. i still watch the perry mason movies every weekend. i loved della street in the beginning. as i get older i really appreciate all that barbara hale brought to the series. you are a wonderful actress. thank you. lind geagel <lindageagel@hotmail.com> pearl city, HI USA - Monday, November 12, 2007 at 00:49:01 (EST) I watched "Perry Mason" while I was growing up, and also watched the "Perry Mason Movies" when I was older. I have been watching the "Perry Mason Movies" this past week on the Hallmark channel, and have enjoyed them so much. I always loved Ms. Hale's performances. She made Della the second most important character on the original series and in the movies, and became more beautiful as the years went on. One can see, in the later movies, the real friendship between Mr. Burr and Ms. Hale. She is a joy to watch. Virginia Arthur <vaarthur@earthlink.net> Bedford, VA USA - Sunday, October 14, 2007 at 13:10:14 (EDT) Just got back from the Wine Country. My favorite winery, of course, Raymond Burr! I have been a fan since I was 6 (I am 56 now), I think you are such a great actress. Fred, at the winery gave me a picture of you, Raymond & Robert, I will treasure it always. Here's to your great health, happiness and longevity! Sincerely, Melody Melody Butler <msmelodyb@yahoo.com> The Woodlands, Tx USA - Saturday, October 13, 2007 at 16:05:09 (EDT) I worked at an insurance agency in Bakersfield, CA where Barbara had insurance. What a classy lady! She was always gracious and pleasant when I spoke to her on the phone, which I did often. She always addressed me as "Darlin'"! I wish her much happiness and good health! She is a sweet lady! linda Bakersfield, CA USA - Tuesday, October 09, 2007 at 19:31:41 (EDT) Loved you as Ellen in "Jolson Sings Again" One of my favorite musicals! Best wishes from an old fan. Hope all is well with you. Steve N. <stevenn40@optonline.net> Massapequa, NY USA - Thursday, September 06, 2007 at 15:47:33 (EDT) I have always loved you on the screen and the TV. Especially, Perry Mason et al. You have the ability to show other women and men that someone as beautiful, gracious, strong and very much a lady can age with grace and strength. Your friendship with Raymond Burr made me feel so warm about him. As I feel in movie love with him as Perry Mason. He scared me in the old black and whites he was so big and awesome, but I can laugh about now. Thank you for your life on this earth. You will be a beautiful angel! A great great fan, Diane Diane <dianeasu@yahoo.com> Tempe, AZ USA - Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 21:55:31 (EDT) I was so happy to find this site dedicated to Barbara Hale. I am not surprised that so many feel this way about this beautiful and gracious lady we all admire so. I have been following her career for years, since she has made such an impact on me personally. I remember growing up in very difficult times watching her movies and Perry Mason and telling myself that one day I wanted to be just like her. "That inner glow" someone mentioned is so appropriate, a beauty that comes from within and shows the wonderful, sweet person she is and always with her kind, gentle smile. She presents a strong character, but remains extremely feminine and always a "lady ". I wish her health, happiness and all life's blessings. There is no real way to properly thank her so I am glad I had this chance.

I don't know of her equal on television. Dan Gunter USA - Friday, August 25, 2006 at 02:28:46 (EDT) Tell Barbara that she has been my favorite since Perry Mason tv show was on with the orgininal cast now since all but her are dead now. I am a big fan of hers for a long time. I hope she does more tv appearences. Judy <Jdf0816@aol.com> Troy, NY USA - Wednesday, June 21, 2006 at 01:04:38 (EDT) I just wondered if Ms Hale remembers roller skating in Rockford with my mother Juanita Brown. They were friends in high school. My mother is a fan and speaks of her often. I hope Barbara is doing well - I enjoy seeing her on Perry Mason. Thanks, Mark Cleveland Mark Cleveland <Mcleve2000@comcast.net> Battle Ground, Wa USA - Wednesday, June 14, 2006 at 16:08:34 (EDT) Just a note to tell Barbara what a remarkable and wonderful career she had. I have had so much pleasure over the years seeing her in every Perry Mason I could, even setting the alarm for 4 AM when it was on cable at that hour. I sent Barbara a sympathy card c/o Raymond Burr when her husband died. I got back a note from Raymond Burr saying he had given my regards to Barbara and she asked him to thank me for her. His note to me arrived the day he died!

I would love to send Ms. Hale a letter to let her know how much I enjoyed her as Della Street. Is there an address for a Barbara Hale fan club?

I say this to doctors and lawyers, when they ask: "What line of work are you in ?" or "No one has ever asked for this much detail before..." I answer, "Well, you know I was Perry Mason's Assistant." Almost all the time, they say "REALLY !!!" Almost everyone "bites" on this one, even if they're old enough to have seen Perry Mason. They don't even realize that Perry Mason is a fictional character. Sometimes I tell them the truth, some times I don't. I loved all your eye glances, "but Perry, what about this?" What I can't fiqure out is why Perry never said "good-bye" before he hung up the phone on you. I, too, fell in love with my husband at first sight. Your birthday is very soon. I'll wish you Happy Birthday a little early. I would love to send some flowers, too! (Whatever you are comfortable with) You have a beautiful son, also!!!

There was a painting by Howard Chandler Christy and one of the faces of the ladies reminded me of Barbara Hale. The waiter told me it was indeed Barbara in the painting. We always wondered if it was true. A friend of ours pointed out Barbara's home in California but I didn't want to intrude. I always wondered if it was true. The 2001 picture looked great. Glad you are well.

Marialita <brent_904@yahoo.com> Santiago, Chile - Thursday, August 11, 2005 at 20:12:50 (EDT) I have been a fan since I saw my first Perry Mason episode in 1957. The chemistry between Barbara and Raymond Burr was extraordinary. I still watch reruns on Hallmark Channel and always find the stories entertaining and the relationship between cast members is wonderful. I know it's hard work to do a weekly series, but it must have been a great joy to work with that cast. You are always remembered and enjoyed as often as I can find an episode. Tom Jones <tjones@pinestreet.org> Harrisburg, PA USA - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 11:13:11 (EDT) As I was growing up I watched the Perry Mason's on Friday night with my mother while my father went shopping for groceries. I always identified "Della" with my mom because both were secretaries and basically ran offices. This is how I learned some of what my mom was doing at work. Of course I'm glad my mom wasn't as taken with the boss as Della seemed to be! What an attractive, capable and devoted secretary--the perfect role model for the liberated but traditional woman! Great work, Barbara! David Hagy <dhagy@wfu.edu> Salisbury, NC USA - Friday, August 05, 2005 at 18:15:51 (EDT) Congratulations on your birthday. Our family are great fans of the Perry Mason show and watch it at least once a day.

I read a long time ago in an interview with Barbara Hale that Nita acted as a stand in for Barbara on some of the Perry Mason movies. Perhaps that was it? Does anyone have any recent photos of Barbara Hale and her children and grandchildren? Apart from William Katt I've never seen shots of them as adults. Elizabeth UK - Friday, May 20, 2005 at 10:14:10 (EDT) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Elizabeth! Furthermore: Barbara Hale's daughter Jody was in the audience when the Perry Mason cast appeared on the "Vicki" show in 1993. A screen cap can be found
here. What a great website! Can anyone help with a Barbara Hale query? I read an article about her when Perry Mason came back saying that her daughter Nita was due to appear in an episode, and that Nita had also been in Star Trek. I've never spotted her! Does anyone know if this ever happened and if so who did Nita play?
