1941 Paul Winfield - Actor (Cliffhanger, Dennis the Menace, Presumed Innocent, Sounder, The Terminator, Star Trek 2) He was in the Perry Mason episode The Case of the Runaway Racer

That was a good episode.

1942 Barbara Parkins - Canadian actress (Peyton Place, Captains and the Kings, Valley of the Dolls) She was in the Perry Mason shows The Case of the Unsuitable Uncle and The Case of the Notorious Nun

Those were good episodes too.

1838 Canada’s last fatal duel took place in Verdun, Quebec, when Colonel Robert Sweeny killed Major Henry Warde on the Montreal race track. Warde had sent a love letter to Sweeny's wife

All for just writing a love letter? Seems a bit harsh.

1966 Raymond Burr performed in the last original Perry Mason episode, titled The Case Of The Final Fade-Out. The episode featured author Erle Stanley Gardner, creator of the fictional lawyer, as the judge

It was a very classy way to end the run.
