TCOT Podcast Episode 028 - Capering Camera

This episode should have 'last' somewhere in its title. This is the last acting performance for many of the people on this episode.

Ray Collins (Lt Tragg) makes his last appearance as the hard nose detective. Even though his name continues as a regular he never appears in anymore of the "Perry Mason" shows.

Also the always beautiful Elaine Stewart (plays Irene Grey) soon marries and quits acting. She did two game shows in the 70's but never acts for a TV or film again.

Byron Palmer (plays Harper Green) was a singer in the 50's and was a guest actor on a few shows. However after this acting job he never works in front of the camera again.

And then you have the sad case of Karyn Kupcinet (plays Penny Ames). she was found dead in her apartment. In fact she was dead before this episode aired in January of 1964.


Next week we will be discussing 

The Case of the Golden Venom 

Season 8 Episode 17
