A few theatrical coincidences: one we’ve talked about 

Hale's son William Katt played Paul Drake’s son and Paul Drake, Jr. was a detective. He played  alongside Hale in nine of the Perry Mason TV movies from 1985 to 1988.

Then Hale guest-starred on Katt's series, The Greatest American Hero and played his mother in the 1982 episode, "Who's Woo in America". She also played his mother in a movie the 1978 movie Big Wednesday.

She won the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Continuing Character) in a Dramatic Series in 1959.

Hale guest-starred in "Murder Impromptu", a 1971 episode of Ironside, Burr's first post-Perry Mason series. She played a character named Marsha Connell. She did not play Della in this one.
