I’m probably the last one to find out that Burr was gay!
Below info was taken from “Google” site.
Raymond Burr, who stared in the wildly popular TV shows “Perry Mason” and “Ironside,” lived a secret gay life in Hollywood when such a revelation would destroy a career.
He was hilarious in one of his last films, Delirious with John Candy! “Can’t even do that right, can you son?” LOL!
