For a few years now we've been watching the original Perry Mason series (1957-1966), about an episode per week. Half of the fun is going "Hey, is that so-and-so" at seeing an actor a few years before they became famous for something /we/ know.

Today's surprise (S5E14) is a fellow by the name of De Forest Kelley, about 5 years before his best known role 😁

Amazing photos! Time is…often an astonishment.

Have been watching HBO's fine Perry Mason series: season 2, set in 1932 LA. Hope Davis's millionaire oil heiress character, talking about how her people built this city & can make their own rules about how to rule it — she would already have been in her 20s when she doubtless walked down this rutted dirt track…that would become Sunset Boulevard.
