ROBERT BLAKE: GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER ISN’T ALL IT’S CRACKED UP TO BE

Like OJ, Robert Blake was acquitted of murdering his nefarious wife Bonny Lee Bakley, but found guilty when her family filed a wrongful death lawsuit. (Remember, Bonny was a hustler who married at least 10 times.) It’s now twelve years since Bakley was shot, and a settlement was finally reached. According to the National Enquirer, former Baretta star Blake, 79, is supposed to pay Bakley’s children around two million dollars. How he‘ll come up with the money is questionable – he doesn’t work. Blake is a sad and solitary figure often photographed having coffee alone at Starbucks in his neighborhood.

Robert Blake – alone as usual- he’s in the habit of taking a newspaper to lunch. (No more Russian girlfriends?) You can just imagine people whispering as he walks by “There’s the guy who murdered his wife and got away with it.” Just think- at one time he was a movie star and a top TV star in “Baretta” – in those days he had fans galore. Now he eats alone.
