“Perry Mason” Notes

In watching a “Perry Mason” episode (“The Case of the Missing Melody”), I put together a link as I am wont to do.

First I noticed Bobby Troup’s name. He was an actor and jazz performer.

Next a key character was named “Polly” in the episode. The Troup/Polly connection recalled actress Ronnie Troup as “Polly Williams” later “Polly Douglas” as the character and “Chip” are wed on “My Three Sons.”

Bobby Troup as “Bongo” is in the episode with “Polly” on “Perry Mason.”

It turns out Bobby Troup is the father of Ronnie Troup.

Ronnie Troup as “Polly,” with Stanley Livingston as “Chip,” on the television show, “My Three Sons.”
