Barbara Hale, who played the title lawyer’s secretary Della Street on every episode of Perry Mason and appeared on the big screen opposite many of Hollywood’s top leading men, died Thursday at her home in Sherman Oaks, CA. She was 94. Her son, The Greatest American Hero star William Katt, confirmed Hale’s death on Facebook.
She was gracious and kind and silly and always fun to be with,” Katt wrote. “A wonderful actress and smart business woman, she was most of all a treasure as a friend and mother.”
