Perry Mason: The Case of the Shooting Star (1986)

Trivia

Perry Mason: The Case of the Shooting Star

Edit
Ivan Dixon, who plays the judge, appeared in two episodes of the original "Perry Mason (1957)." "The Case of the Promoter's Pillbox" (1962) and "The Case of the Nebulous Nephew" (1963).
Last "Perry Mason" TV movie to have been shot in Canada, and also the second and last one to have been filmed in Toronto.
Jennifer O'Neill, who played the lead role of Alison Carr in this episode, was also a lead player in a television series called "Cover Up (1984)" two years earlier. That show ended soon after the show's male lead, Jon-Erik Hexum, accidentally shot and killed himself with a prop gun on set.
Lisa Howard plays the victim's stepdaughter, Sharon Loring. His portrayer, Alan Thicke, was formerly married to Gloria Loring.
Alan Thicke was a real-life talk show host, for Thicke of the Night (1983) and The Alan Thicke Show (1980).
