How Raymond Burr and His Boyfriend Created Their Own Paradise? 

Why do you keep using PD photos arbitrarily?

Good

I have limited income currently but I DID ENJOY THIS! U provided info that I was NOT aware of?! He spoke with a very closed mouth so seeing some of his smiling pics were GREAT! I WAS AWARE OF HIS SEXUAL ORIENTATION THOUGH...🌟GREAT JOB🌟

@@martin3203 What does PD mean ?

Raymond Burr was gay man

Read mine please!

AMEN AND AMEN 🙏,

So very true !! What two consenting adults do behind closed doors is no one's business. The late great Mr Burr had a wonderfully caring heart & was beloved by all his co-workers. His kindness & generosity are legendary. Thank you for your thoughtful & insightful comment ! :-)

It's more complicated than that, for example a group that demands its own right to privacy doesn't necessarily respect the right to privacy for others. A group that has preferential treatment might claim discrimination.

But you are here haha!

Thats right. A wonderful human being either way. I don't care. I only hate the title of the videos as it went against his wishes.

Bethany Wilson, I wish I could hit 1,000 up votes for your comment! I couldn't have said it better myself! Everything you said is exactly what I was thinking. Thank you so much!!!

Most people measure one another with what's on the outside of a human being instead of being concerned about a man's soul. He lived a life that was forbidden by God, who said that liars, thieves, fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals were an abomination to Him because they were not OF him but were OF Satan, threfore none of them would be allowed to dwell with God in eternity. Money, fame, forturne, titles, accolades, hospitals won't mean a thing in the Day of Judgment. All of us will only have accumulated data of serving God in this lifetime or serving Satan.

@@beantrader4723 Raymond Burr was a worthless evil non person. Got it.

I still watches episodes of Perry mason. Raymond burr was a fine and handsome actor.despite of his sexuality. Rest in peace Raymond!

I too have been to his garden in Fiji it's just wonderful! He is revered there and did a lot for charity.. I found this narrative disappointing with repetitive emphasis on him being gay instead of the work he did as an actor and philanthropist. Unfortunately many wonderful people were forced to hide their true selves in the past and we can learn from that to become more accepting.

@@margies735 totally agree :)

@@margies735 Margie and the other people who have been to his garden and Fiji can you tell me when was the last time you were there ? I never ever heard of those gardens , but would love to go there .

@@gardensofthegods About 10 years ago, will go back one day soon I hope! 😏

He certainly was!

No that's not all that matters......... those are mostly just material things but any way it will be him and all the rest of us that have to answer for the sins that we commit

He did have wide shoulders!

Those are the kinds of things I'd rather see written about him. Not seedy little "secrets" things. He was a good actor, and a good man.

Oh wow

Raymond Burr was not a twin.

@@carolc.3905 I think she meant her husband looked just like Raymond Burr.

Agreed! A great man in a difficult time to be famous.

@@manuelrichardson6943 Which god? There are thousands.

Shouldn't be judged for his sequel orientation he was a wonderful actor and a kind man

"Hollywood" had no interest in revealing his homosexuality, in contradiction with the toughies he played 😉 .

I wish we had less information now. I’m especially upset with all the tattoos and careless behaviors. Hepatitis C is transmitted by tattoo needles, and in 20-30 years cirrhosis, cancer and kidney failure

One of my favorite movies -- Thelma Ritter, Raymond Burr, Grace Kelly, Jimmy Stewart. One of Hitchcock's best.

I agree! He was spooky!

But I loved him as an actor❤️

When you see an actor who normally plays "good guys" in an evil role, it has triple the impact because of the contrast and shows their versatility in their craft. Two other examples that spring to mind are Spencer Tracy as Dr Jeckyll's evil half Mr Hyde and Henry Fonda as the killer in "Once Upon a Time in the West".

@@johnbastille5483 The Henry Finda example is especially unusual. The director even had him wear contacts to change his signature blue eyes to brown. Fonda was downright evil as "Frank".

Coming out might had ended his acting career if pressure of the public reacted negatively.

Closeted? Who gives a rats ass what he does in the bedroom with whom? As long as he is not molesting children and his partners are of age who cares who he was with? More people need to keep their privates private.

@@beantrader4723 So, gay people are not real humans. Strange that “god” would create something “he” is sending direct to hell. Sadistc.

TeeHee. Puns are the lowest form of humor; so said my English teacher. Wonder how many missed it?

Went missing I believe, though they still call out for him.

What happened to Tim?

Oh nooooo. Too painful. Lol

Sad to say I missed the pun Completely. When I read Robert's comment to my wife, she got it Immediately.

little late for that now

@@beantrader4723 "liars, thieves, fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals were an abomination to Him.." You forgot rich men, money lenders, people who wear two types of cloth, people who plant more than one type of seed in their gardens, men who are uncircumcised, people who mix meat and dairy, and men who cut their hair and beards. All forbidden in the Bible. Look it up. Doesn't leave many people to be accepted on the Day of Judgment, does it?

Actors and actresses have a profession. Whats the difference of their sexuality preference have any deference about anything

@@donaldgordon3991 Nothing, but I definitely remember the time when it meant your life would be destroyed by the 'moral majority' incapable of any real compassion.

@@widowkeeper4739 Indeed. I’m a 71-year-old gay man. IN MY LIFETIME, I could have been jailed, fired or attacked just for being gay. Not even for being “caught” in an activity, but just for BEING.

@@widowkeeper4739 and “the moral majority”‘ hypocrisy. You know how society works, they show one think, and their private lives are nothing but inmortal.

@@tomkellycartoons I'm only 44 and remember the "Gay Plague" of the '80's and the "Gay Panic Defense" from the '90's. Matthew Shephard would have been 45 today. Scott Amedure (one of the bravest man I've ever seen in my life) would have been 58. I'm still angry. You and your partners deserved so much better. I know I'm in good company when I say we ARE going to carry on the HARD-fought legacy and freedom your generation laid down for us. We're never, ever, going to let this society regress back to what you had to put up with. The 'Moral Majority' can die of their plague of stupidity.

Well after all, Roy Cohen "did"

It MIGHT have helped WAY BACK BEFORE INTERNET that he was originally from B.C. so he could make up a story & people had to REALLY have an interest to validate his STORY or not? He was an EXCELLENT ACTOR & proof of that in his personal life as well with his REALITY being SO DIFFERENT from the SCRIPT he wrote to CONCEAL THE REALITY during McCarthy Era politics?

Interesting that the late Roy Cohn endured the same sort of rumors as an assistant to the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy during his hearings on communists in the U.S. Army and in Hollywood... but this time it was HOLLYWOOD spreading the nasty rumors and character assassination about his homosexuality. And, like Raymond Burr, the rumors and innuendoes about Roy Cohn were 100% true. Cohn died of AIDS complications in Bethesda, MD in 1986.

I certainly have a notion to second that emotion !!

You're correct about his versatility as an actor, but it isn't sad that he had to "act" off-camera. He chose to live according to his lusts and outside of society's norms. If it bothered him that much, then he simply would have exercised greater control over the temptations which plagued him, instead of bending to them.

No

A lot of Hollyweird actors were gay...but coming out would have ruined their careers. My patents never missed Perry Mason but I doubt they would have accepted his sexual preferences.

Couldn't agree more with Terence

Yes.. there was a time when what you did and who you were as a PERSON was far more important than WHO you did are are doing. Nowadays, people are "famous" but have absolutely no substance, talent or even a sense of propriety or goodness.

Absolutely !

Wow so they didn’t employ any servants or help ?! Oh you mean aids .

Me, neither! I thought I knew all the rumored ones, but somehow Raymond totally missed me.

This monstrous, murder-hard-hearted hypocritical prejudice, practiced by the 'approved' brand of monosexuality, is fast-headed toward the longing mouth of the wood-chipper of history! Our younger ones are well-onto the rotten con of it, and are having impressively little of it, knowing now the 'standard plan' taught from the first slice of the "unkindest cut," to be the insanity that this mystically-derived heterocentric REPRO-CULT truly is. The never ending heterocentric 50/50 WARRING, waged against Mother Nature within -- this carried-out in the name of supposedly "complying" with Her (as is favoritely-cited by living, arrogant mostly male steroided stinking hypocrisy), is a thing TRULY perverse, speaking of it. As given such damage as done, it really should be no wonder that most of human males have in some form or other, been driven to barely-disguised madness by it! Within or without, Mother Nature assesses Her penalties for countering or ignoring, what she emplaces for rational use within us. It is ONLY a matter of how soon or later, that they are to be EXACTED on deniers! (And, most having no idea as to what it is truly, that so-eats them alive through life!) Actor Burr, by some luck of happenstance, had a mind enabling him to counter all of the mad, cracked-pot Heterocentric hell in which he was 24/7/365, and worked-out this "opposites only please" immersion, to good and profitable end-effect. Most do not, and are teased-out and destroyed by the rotten old CULT in any way it can. Liked or no, the history of it's denying horror campaign, is coming to it's vicious, malcreant career end! Now "truth seeker." YOU might benefit by just a HINT's-worth, as to why YOU "never would have dreamed" of it!

It wasn’t quite a secret if you grew up near Hollywood, I remember in 7th grade the kids all knew he was, it was no big deal! Many parents were employed by the studios back in 1967, one of the biggest employers ! Nothing was really a secret back then, and few cared!

This is the U.S.A., where you have the right to live your life any way you want --- as long as you don't infringe upon my right to disagree with you.

@@lauranardoni5626 A lot of actors and actresses in Hollywood were either gay, or bi, and most knew someone who was. It's not really Hollywood per se , but rather the type of press that would capitalize on that information. Perry Mason was a well liked and respected, main stream, middle America, favorite character. There were actual PSA's warning young boys about "The Homosexual", showing men prowling around in their cars trying to "pick up" young boys, for a ride in their car. The Military actively court martialed and imprisoned any homosexuals found in the Services. So, it wasn't something that he wanted to get out to main stream middle America.

And handsome. No one on this thread has mentioned that.

I agree, especially the practice of ‘outing’ someone. Think about it, if how one expresses one’s sexuality is protected by privacy laws, as in, “what they do in their private life is no one’s business but their own” sentiment; why, on earth, would you make it everyone’s business by outing them? I like to keep my life (mostly) private, I have had experiences that are difficult for others to comprehend, they have no frame of reference. Although they have shaped me, I don’t like talking about them. There is great emphasis on ‘transparency’ these days, but it seem to me the subject should decide what to share and what to hide: to tell their own story, as it were.

It hadn't been kept a secret. There used to be tell-all hollywood magazines that told everything about everyone. Even had crossword puzzles. lol

Raymond Burr employed Hedda Hopper's son in his show. That says a lot of why Hedda kept her mouth shut.

I thought the Perry Mason series was based in San Francisco, many of the office scenes were in the original central police station now torn down and located on Kearney and Washington Streets just below Grant Ave., Chinatown San Francisco.
