In Limbo
For #tombtuesday, I bring you the gravesite of actor Raymond Burr, best known for #perrymason and #ironsides. He's buried with his parents and sister in New Westminster, British Columbia--the same city in which he was born. He passed away in 1993, and is survived by his partner of 35 years, Robert Benevides.
Intolerance in the entertainment industry during the height of his career meant Burr was forced to create a complex back story hiding his true sexual orientation to avoid being ostracized.
