I remember her from the old reruns of Perry Mason and the remake of the same series with originals Barbara Hale and Raymond Burr. She was a secretary on the series but always seemed so much more than that. Eddie is right, she was always very attractive and carried herself well. I'm very sorry to hear of her passing.

Rest in Peace Ms. Hale.

Della Street was a looker, I always wondered what was really going on in that law office while we weren't watching.

Especially when you figure Paul Drake in the mix yet. lol

Obviously remembered for the long running Perry Mason series here in the UK when I was a kid but I also remember her in the movie '7th Cavalry'.

RIP Dear Lady

If you read the books, you would know. She was a secretary plus in the books.
