Good morning. Today is the 264th day of the year. On this day in 1957, “Perry Mason,” starring Raymond Burr as criminal lawyer Mason, first aired on television. Mason had earlier been portrayed by another actor on the radio, but Burr became synonymous with the character in viewers’ minds. The show also starred Barbara Hale as Mason’s secretary, William Hopper as Detective Paul Drake and William Talman as District Attorney Hamilton Burger. The show lasted until 1966, after which Burr moved on to the detective show “Ironside.”
Well-known people who were born today include singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen (“Suzanne,” “Chelsea Hotel,” “I’m Your Man”), author Stephen King (Christine, Pet Semetary), comedian Bill Murray (Lost in Translation, Groundhog Day) and U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan.
