As a young boy watching Perry Mason at noon or never ending reruns of Perry, I was always attracted to the assistant Della Street. There was something about those painted lips and big eyes and rounded features…something sexy and contained naughtiness….now I have confirmation of Della’s uninhibited side.
Barbara 'Della' Hale 1946
Early morning and primping in the mirror before donning the cowgirl clothing. This is pre April Vokey in the wilderness…roughing it but still wanting to show the feminine side…Is there any doubt that Della would have been out there wetting a line? I think not! Neither Paul nor Perry showed any interest in Della…although I recall Paul calling Della ‘doll’. OK I am a little off here, but it was a time of well formed bras, cashmere sweaters, girdles and dare I say it garter belts…ok enough. Geez I dated myself and once again showed my predatory nature.
OK, she was a normal chick
lol :0
yeah she looks hot, probably very old (or dead) now – which makes feel abit wierd thinking about her in that way; Thanks for sharing.
Well, Geeeeeeeez, Carol. Rain on my parade! Ha! Let’s assume her lovely visage is all we know. As of 1/2/09 the lovely was born in 1922 and is alive and a lovely 86 (my God, Carol my mom is 86). Carol, I will not be dissuaded from my fantasy…and in the truest ability of males, will ignore all the negatives or downsides (thanks to you) and carry on my merry recollections of a cute young woman.
never noticed della before!
bless perry
