Blind Item #5 - Old Hollywood - A Reader Blind Item

This late actor was not out during his lifetime although there were always rumors.  A made-up wife didn't help.  Now everyone knows he was gay.  He was in both TV and film. On TV, he was in two different crime related dramas, one of which was based on a series of books.  In movies, he often played villains due to his size.  His most famous role was probably the one from a film by this A++++ director in which he is observed for most of the movie by the main character.  On USO tours early in his career he would share rooms with other actors.  It was quite common for those other actors to wake up in the middle of the night to find this late actor performing fellatio on them.  His response was "shhhh go back to sleep" and he would keep going.

Unknown said...

We have A++++ now? There's a director who out-fames people like Elvis and Michael Jackson?

It must be Detective Day on CDaN today!
ANYTHING is better than reality show blinds.

J said...

Lol @ go back to sleep.

I don't think so, more like get the hell out of here you damned freak.

Bob Barnett said...

Rodman?

I just watched "Rear Window" again last night. I love that movie. And the dresses Grace Kelley wore?! Madonn!!

Yeah, it's Raymond Burr. But my how strikingly handsome he was in the old Perry Mason reruns! That jet black hair, all suave and debonair, with Della on his arm.. Watching nowadays, you can't help but look twice at the smoldering, lascivious smirks Ray-Ray gives the male actors he's cross-examining...

Best blind in a while.

Hitchcock

cc423 said...

Big daddy Raymond Burr.

Sara, Making It Work said...

@Cail,
It's a reader blind, so they have their own rating scale. 😉
But I'd say Alfred Hitchcock outranks all other directors at the very least, and most celebrities.

Amartel said...

Yeah, that scene in "Rear Window" when he suddenly realizes he's being watched - genuinely scary!

William Conrad,

from "Cannon" and "Jake and the Fatman".

Often played villains.

Unknown said...

@Sara, good point, I hadn't noticed the title.

longtimereader said...

Perry mason , of course.

TownChica said...

timebob said...

A mouth is a mouth.

Kay said...

And what did the police say?

J said...

Kay, that's a great question!

Paul Saint John said...

The list of totally straight Hollywood actors must be very short indeed!

Kay said...

@J, Since you're so consistent with that question as it pertains to female victims, I'm sure it was just an oversight here, when discussing male victims. Happy to help. :)

J said...

Absolutely! Of course, what the police should have said is "tell us, mister, why did you beat the living shit out of Raymond Burr?"

Stupidpervs said...

This rating system needs some consistency ...

Stupidpervs said...

According to cdan and certain readers all of Hollywood is gay ..i think it's self projection most times

LA Native said...

@Geeljire in 2 days you have made me spit-take twice. Thats gotta be a record. Thanks for making me LMAO.
Thanks to you, as well Brayson, you made it a one-two punch!

Raymond Burr was just doing his part for the war effort. He also serves who kneels and fellates.

gauloise said...

If Raymond Burr had been doing this to women there wouldnt be all these light hearted jokes and talking about how handsome he is, this guy is a major perv and rapist, sorry, but its so...

no said...

"It was quite common for those other actors to wake up in the middle of the night to find this late actor performing fellatio on them. His response was "shhhh go back to sleep" and he would keep going."

Well, at least he was considerate.

Mystique99 said...

I would have loved to see RDJ play Perry Mason, but now word is he'll just be Exec Producer in reboot. They need an actor with piercing eyes. Burr/Mason could almost stare someone into a confession. Suggestions? Mahershala Ali could be badass..

BestMan said...

#1 favorite Hitchcock.

Brayson87 said...

@bdm, haha no problem

Sara, Making It Work said...

@Kay
Well played 😊

Mike said...

Word on datalounge is that Raymond Burr was into scat. Setting that aside, I'd pretend to sleep for him.

Aaron said...

Brayson87, I laughed so hard at your nightmare fuel comment. LOL.

Fozzy Bear said...

My Grandad used to tell the story about the time he went in a little dinghy with Burr and Benvenides out to their Naitauba island, so he could build a pontoon dock for their yacht. Burr’s dog was seasick all over everyone, and made a hell of a mess.

Raymond Burr was born in canada - just FYI
