Troubleshooting! The Guestbook had a few problems recently. We had spammers! EVIL! Dave fixed it. (Thanks!)
If you want to leave a comment you have to enter a password. It's "Della" (without the quotation marks.) Just type it into the "Password" box. It should work fine. We hope that this will confuse the spam robots. At least... they can't "read", can they? ;-)

I've two updates today! :-)
First: I learned that Barbara Hale joint the cast of "Stump the Stars" not once but TWICE! What exciting news! I really enjoyed that show and now I'm curious about Barbara Hale's second appearance in 1963.
Entry added at the [TV and Radio] [TV und Radio] [TV y Radio] Site.
Second: I also added some screen caps of Barbara Hale's appearance on "The Greatest American Hero" starring her son William Katt, Robert Culp and Connie Sellecca. I'm excited that I got the chance to see an episode of this series! I've to say that it was fun watching William Katt as the super hero and Barbara Hale "playing" his mom. In one interview Barbara remembered her guest starring role on "The Greatest American Hero." She said that she let the producers know that there's no other woman who can play the part but her because she *is* the super hero's mother! Clever and so true!
Plot: Ralf's (William Katt) mom (Barbara Hale) wants to marry again. But the young
fiancé obviously has skeletons in the closet. The hero comes to save the day after everyone asked "Who is Woo?"

Thank you, Dave! ;-)

I've added a new link to Barbara Hale's entry at the "TV and Movie Trivia Tribute" Website.
03/02/2005:
I fixed some links in the Links section. It's a shame that some sites simply vanish!
Furthermore I got a "Barbara Hale" Google Alert that led me to an article that mentions Barbara Hale, Bill Williams and William Katt. It also has a Trivia Question! I thought this one was kind of fun. The article seems to be gone today - ALREADY! So I thought I include the paragraph here:
Just super
It was intended as an American pie in the face, a saucy bit of slapstick that poked fun at the superhero genre. But, ultimately, there was too much drama surrounding the ABC TV series "The Greatest American Hero."
After scoring with "The Rockford Files" and other shows, producer-writer Stephen J. Cannell created a comedy-adventure series about a mild-mannered high school teacher named Ralph Hinkley who stumbles into becoming a superhero. A lovable bumbler, Hinkley was played by William Katt, the son of Barbara Hale, Della Street on "Perry Mason." Among the other cast members were Connie Sellecca, Robert Culp and Michael Pare.
From the start, somebody or something was always stepping on Hinkley's cape. Twelve days after the show premiered on March 18, 1981, the similarly named John Hinckley tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan. To dodge any bad association, "Hinkley" became "Hanley" or "Mr. H." (The show went back to "Hinkley" in its second season.)
Then, Cannell was sued by Warner Bros., owner of DC Comics, which alleged the Superman image had been copied. Cannell won, but not without some anxious moments. Cannell also battled with ABC over the show's direction. Though "The Greatest American Hero" was a spoof and had been Emmy-nominated as a comedy series, the network pressed Cannell to take a more straightforward approach, which Cannell resisted.
The series, whose first season has recently been released on DVD, stayed on the air just under two years after various timeslot changes. Despite the show's shortish run, its Mike Post-Stephen Geyer theme song, "The Greatest American Hero (Believe It Or Not)," became a No. 2 hit for Joey Scarbury.
Bill Williams, the father of William Katt, played what frontier hero on TV from 1951 to 1955?

Two nice places to talk about Perry Mason, the actors and their work. If you have questions about the series in common or something that is related with the actors you might find some experts here who can help.
