You Canadians are really humourous. Go drink some maple syrup.
[edit] Really Gay?
I think it wrong to paint a fellow as 'gay' after death, who refused to paint himself as homosexual in life. "No romantic relationship has ever been proved between Burr and Natalie Wood." And where is the 'proof' of his romantic relationship with Robert Benevides. "However, these details were fabricated in an attempt to hide the fact that Burr was gay." The purported fabrication of personal loss seems quite out of character. The writer of this article is not offended by the discovery of such deception? Then the writer has no respect for truth. The validity of the entire article must come into question. User:216.167.235.11
- In 1950's Hollywood, homosexuality was very much frowned upon. Claiming to be a widower would be a relatively harmless way of asserting heterosexuality, while not having to carry on a pretense of dating, etc. It is generally acknowledged that he was gay, and it is highly unlikely that everyone who knew him (including his good friend and co-star, Barbara Hale) would lie about him after his death.

Much of the article is poorly written, like a press release: I have tried to clean up the English. Rothorpe 23:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Incomprehensible
After reading this bio, I began trying to edit it into standard English. When I got to the part about Raymond's mother moving to California, I didn't have a clue what the author meant, so I Googled Raymond Burr and came up with many conflicting versions of his life. In one, his mother was a single parent the first 10 years of his life; in one Burr began his acting career in Canada in live theater; another mentions 3 marriages and a son that died of leukemia. I suspect that Mr. Burr invented and re-invented his early life and that this brief bio does it little justice.Ibstubro 20:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
