'''Raymond William Stacy Burr''' (May 21, 1917{{snds}}September 12, 1993) was a Canadian actor who had a lengthy Hollywood film career and portrayed the title roles in the television dramas ''[[Perry Mason (1957 TV series)|Perry Mason]]'' and ''[[Ironside (1967 TV series)|Ironside]]''.

Burr's early acting career included roles on Broadway, radio, television, and film, usually as the villain. He portrayed the suspected murderer in the [[Alfred Hitchcock]] thriller ''[[Rear Window]]'' (1954), and he also had a role in the 1956 film ''[[Godzilla, King of the Monsters!]]'', which he reprised in the 1985 film ''[[Godzilla 1985]]''. He won Emmy Awards for acting in 1959 and 1961 for the role of [[Perry Mason]], which he played for nine seasons (1957–1966) and reprised in a series of 26 [[Perry Mason (TV film series)|''Perry Mason'' TV movies]] (1985–1993). His second TV series, ''[[Ironside (1967 TV series)|Ironside]],'' earned him six [[Emmy]] and two [[Golden Globe]] nominations.

Burr died due to liver cancer in 1993, and his personal life came into question, as many details of his biography appeared to be unverifiable.<ref name="Podolsky"/> He was ranked number 44 of the 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time by ''[[TV Guide]]'' magazine in 1996.

When Burr was six, his parents divorced.

Burr briefly attended San Rafael Military Academy in [[San Rafael, California]], and graduated from [[Berkeley High School (Berkeley, California)|Berkeley High School]].<ref name="Starr"/>{{Rp|10–13}}

In 1986, he told journalist Jane Ardmore that, when he was 12 years old, his mother sent him to [[New Mexico]] for a year to work as a ranch hand. (As with many of Burr's self-reported autobiographical details about his early life, this is unverified and open to question). According to Burr's story, he was already his full adult height and rather large and "had fallen in with a group of college-aged kids who didn't realize how young Raymond was, and they let him tag along with them in activities and situations far too sophisticated for him to handle." In the same article, Burr also stated he developed a passion for growing things and joined the [[Civilian Conservation Corps]] for a year in his teens.<ref name="Ardmore">{{cite news|last=Ardmore|first=Jane|date=June 3, 1986|title=Welcome Home, Perry Mason|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1314&dat=19860603&id=CFtWAAAAIBAJ&pg=6875,2759730&hl=en|newspaper=[[The Spokesman-Review]]|location=King Features Syndicate|access-date=May 22, 2016}}</ref> He did some acting in his teen years, making his stage debut at age 12 in a [[Vancouver BC]] stock company.<ref name="Grimes"/> The experiences Burr described when he was the age of 12 (working in radio in San Francisco, spending a year in New Mexico, appearing in Vancouver theatre, working for the Civilian Conservation Corps) are sometimes mutually contradictory; this would be a pattern that would recur in Burr's autobiographical reminiscences about his pre-[[Perry Mason]] personal life. {{Citation needed|date=December 2024|reason=Source for claim of unreliability}}

Burr moved from CBS to [[Universal Pictures|Universal Studios]], where he played the title role in the television drama ''[[Ironside (1967 TV series)|Ironside]]'', which ran on NBC from 1967 to 1975. In the pilot episode, San Francisco Chief of Detectives Robert T. Ironside is paralyzed by a sniper during an attempt on his life and, after his recovery, uses a wheelchair for mobility, in the first [[crime drama]] show to star a policeman with a disability. The show earned Burr six Emmy nominations—one for the pilot and five for his work in the series<ref name="Emmy Database"/><ref name="NYT Emmy Ironside Pilot"/>—and two Golden Globe nominations.<ref name="Golden Globes Burr"/>

===Other series===
[[File:Kingston confidential premiere 1977.JPG|thumb|upright|[[Mariette Hartley]] and Burr in ''[[Kingston: Confidential]]'' (1977)]]
After ''Ironside'' went off the air, NBC failed in two attempts to launch Burr as the star of a new series. In a two-hour television movie format, ''Mallory: Circumstantial Evidence'' aired in February 1976 with Burr again in the role of the lawyer who outwits the district attorney. Despite good reviews for Burr, the critical reception was poor, and NBC decided against developing it into a series.<ref name="Starr"/>{{Rp|177–78}}

In 1977, Burr starred in the short-lived TV series ''[[Kingston: Confidential]]'' as R.B. Kingston, a publishing magnate similar to [[William Randolph Hearst]], owner of numerous newspapers and TV stations, who, in his spare time, solved crimes along with a group of employees. It was a critical failure that was scheduled opposite the extraordinarily popular ''[[Charlie's Angels]]''. It was cancelled after 13 weeks.<ref name="Starr"/>{{Rp|178–80}}

Burr took on a shorter project next, playing an underworld boss in a six-hour miniseries, ''[[79 Park Avenue]]''.<ref>{{Citation|title=Harold Robbins' 79 Park Avenue (TV Mini Series 1977) - IMDb|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075515/|language=en-US|access-date=September 12, 2021}}</ref>

After several of the TV movies, Burr's age and health issues forced him to use a cane onscreen, which was jokingly explained as a "skiing accident." By 1993, when Burr signed with NBC for another season of Mason films, he was using a wheelchair full-time because of his failing health.

==Personal life==
===Physical characteristics===
Burr said that he weighed 12.75 pounds (5.8&nbsp;kg) at birth, and was chubby throughout his childhood. "When you're a little fat boy in public school, or any kind of school, you're just persecuted something awful," he said.<ref name="Tom Shales"/> His weight was always an issue for him in getting roles, and it became a public relations problem when [[Johnny Carson]] began making jokes about him during his ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson|Tonight Show]]'' monologues. Burr refused to appear as Carson's guest from then on, and told ''[[Us Weekly]]'' years later: "I have been asked a number of times to do his show and I won't do it. Because I like NBC. He's doing an NBC show. If I went on I'd have some things to say, not just about the bad jokes he's done about me, but bad jokes he does about everybody who can't fight back because they aren't there.

In October 1967, NBC aired ''Raymond Burr Visits Vietnam'', a documentary of one of his visits. The reception was mixed. "The impressions he came up with are neither weighty nor particularly revealing", wrote the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]''; the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' said Burr's questions were "intelligent and elicited some interesting replies".<ref name="Starr"/>{{Rp|160–61}}

Burr had a reputation in Hollywood as a thoughtful, generous man years before much of his more-visible philanthropic work. In 1960, Ray Collins, who portrayed Lt. Arthur Tragg on the original ''Perry Mason'' series, and who was by that time often ill and unable to remember all the lines he was supposed to speak, stated, "There is nothing but kindness from our star, Ray Burr. Part of his life is dedicated to us, and that's no bull. If there's anything the matter with any of us, he comes around before anyone else and does what he can to help. He's a great star—in the old tradition."<ref>Hollywood column by Rick Du Brow for United Press International, appearing in the State Times Advocate of Baton Rouge LA, July 19, 1960, p. 5</ref>

===Illness and death===

During the filming of his last ''Perry Mason'' movie in the spring of 1993, Burr fell ill. A Viacom spokesman told the media that the illness might be related to the [[renal cell carcinoma]] (malignant kidney tumor) that had been removed from Burr that February.<ref name="Ill"/> It was determined that the cancer had spread to his liver and was at that point inoperable.<ref name="Stevenson">Stevenson, Jennifer. Raymond Burr Dies of Cancer. St. Petersburg Times. September 14, 1993. Retrieved March 27, 2010</ref> Burr threw several "goodbye parties" before his death on September 12, 1993, at his Sonoma County ranch near [[Healdsburg]].<ref name="Grimes"/> He was 76 years old.

The day after Burr's death, [[American Bar Association]] President R. William Ide III released a statement: "Raymond Burr's portrayals of Perry Mason represented lawyers in a professional and dignified manner. ... Mr. Burr strove for such authenticity in his courtroom characterizations that we regard his passing as though we lost one of our own."<ref>{{cite news|last=Vigoda|first=Arlene|date=September 14, 1993|title=Lawyers Mourn Burr|newspaper=[[USA Today]]}}</ref> ''The New York Times'' reported that Perry Mason had been named second—after [[F.

From 2000 to 2006, the Raymond Burr Performing Arts Society leased the [[List of historic places in New Westminster|historic]] Columbia Theatre from the city of New Westminster, and renamed it the Raymond Burr Performing Arts Centre.
