ROBERT BLAKE IS DEAD TO ME!

link below

Mandela effect. I thought he was already dead.

OP you are what my Grandmother would call a “crepe hanger” or someone who gets some weird pleasure from announcing deaths to others. You need a new hobby.

Heaven gained a murderer. Sweet.

I loved him in Los Highway

He was crazy but he was perfect in "In Cold Blood." Even looked a lot like Perry Smith. I don't think he killed Bonny Lee Bakley. She was a grifter. She had a lot of enemies.

R3 you must be new here.

I forgot he bear the murder rap. Thought he was in prison.

When will stupid old men, especially famous ones, learn to wrap their dicks if fuck women under 50.

R6, I think he did it but she was a head A scumbag and there were plenty of people who didn’t mind that she was dead. Very unsympathetic victim.

[quote] she was a head A scumbag

A what now?

Grade A scumbag.

Oh, for an edit button…

He was a fantastic actor...he and Anne Heche had the same crazy intensity that always pulled me in. They were both kind of nuts, or at least disturbed.

He was batshit crazy and ugly as fick. Thus, having to get involved with a serial grifter whore like Bakley. I too thought he was already dead.

His tv show Baretta was a hit.

In Cold Blood is one of my all time favorites. One of a few movies I can rewatch multiple times. I have an autographed photo of Scott Wilson .

Any clips of him doing pull-ups in his underwear in that film, Electra Glide In Blue?

You can take that to the bank!!!

R16, closest I could find.

Did someone forget their gun?

Or this.

Robert Blake called ugly by Orson Welles.

I'd have done him back in the day, but he couldn't live forever...

I think he killed her. He was great as Perry, for sure.

Wasn't he the last of the Little Rascals/Our Gang kids? Are there any still alive?

Awww. That's a shame. He was a terrific director. I can't decide whether my favorite is Breakfast at Tiffany's or the Pink Panthers.

He was a hot little twunk back in the day.

R24 - I would think so - he was one of the youngest alums.

R24, Sidney Kibrick is alive at 94.

Like all nuts, he was a good actor. What a weirdo. Rest in whatever.

He was textbook Ugly Hot.

He was also in Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

He was omnipresent in the '70s.

R3 is not a Datalounger.

89 is long life .

Too late to make the In Memoriam on the Oscars?

He was great in In Cold Blood. I enjoyed all his 'inside' references to Sierra Madre. They had nothing to do with Perry Smith, never mentioned in Capote's book, but referenced Blake's first film as a child where he worked opposite Humphrey Bogart.

Why haven't they turned the murder case into a TV movie by now? I'm disappointed.

Who could have played Bonny?

r24 r28 Isnt Terry Kilburn also part of that group of actors?

How many more husbands would Bonnie have had had her life not been so tragically shortened?

He's in heaven reunited with Bonnie now, I suppose...

Bastard ruined Vitello's for me- it was my favorite Italian restaurant in that area.

Whatever you think of his guilt or innocence, he had a fantastic career. Our Gang, acting in films with legends like Joan Crawford, his own series Barretta. Not bad for a little guido like him.

I eat old people’s excrement.

[quote] His tv show Baretta was a hit.

And he fucked it up. Here he finally had this great gig, a successful tv series, and he was so troublesome that it all got ruined. What a disturbed man he was.

Good riddance

Had to look him up as I didn't recognize the name. Sidney Kibrick played one of Butch's buddies. He's still alive. Thanks R28.

. . .

He had a very abusive childhood. His parents were monsters according to a story he told on an interview show.

Celebrities die in threes. First was Tom Sizemore and now Blake. Will another male celeb be the third or will be a female celeb?

I hate to brag, but I think I mentioned his name in one of DL's Celebrity Death Watch threads.

Orson Welles must've gotten fat "jokes" a lot. His retort sounded like something he had ready just in case.

Vitello's did seem like a nice, old school Italian restaurant. I wouldn't mind eating there.

R21 I have not a cloo what the fuck an Orson Wells is but good un. Fattie must be the one that originated that sayin.

Fred the cockatoo bird from "Baretta" turned 100 in 2019 - no word if he passed yet (one cockatoo lived until 125, per article).

Somebody just put Blake's name on the celebrity death thread a day or two ago - very prescient!

Shuch a shweet little man.

The death to close out the hat trick will be a woman, undoubtedly.

I loathed his deze, demz and doze act. It was so fucking phony. He moved to LA with his family from New Jersey when he was five.

R25 Go back to sleep Rose. You were talking while awake again.

Lord take a murderous sexual freak to your bosom.

That whore deserves what she got.

I thought this would become the next OJ case in the press because it was so obvious he did it. But the press wasn't much interested in it because he was old and ugly and a has-been when it happened, and because both he and the murder victim were so impossibly seedy.

The murder of his wife ruined his career - or what was left of it.

Rose mentioned Hell Town on The Golden Girls.

I loved him as Baretta, but he treated his Daughter Rosie ( the daughter with BLB) like dirt. She tried to reconnect with him, even though he killed her mother. He did talk to her and then told her he didn't want to talk to her again. Miserable bastard. R.I.P.

Mustering every ounce of his acting abilities........

His eyes were demonic

R50 Can you use your magic death watch powers on Trump and Mitch, please?

FUUUUUCCCCK, I JINXED him!

[quote] he treated his Daughter Rosie ( the daughter with BLB) like dirt. She tried to reconnect with him, even though he killed her mother. He did talk to her and then told her he didn't want to talk to her again.

Here's daughter Rosie. She doesn't seem to have any undue bad feelings towards R. Blake. Rosie was raised by a much-older sister, actually (an older daughter of R. Blake).

I really really really thought he was dead already.

Maybe I have been confusing him with Phil Spector of all people?

I’m just always grateful he gave us his son Noah, who was gorgeously muscular and always open-shirted or -vested, or else shirtless, on the syndicated TV series version of “Harry & The Hendersons” in the ‘80s.

R69, poor kid

"That's the name of that tune!"

R49, that's already been achieved. Topol died 3-8-2023, aged 87.

[quote] I loathed his deze, demz and doze act.

MARY!!!

He should have stayed with Eartha Kitt, they made a sexy couple.

White people didn’t care about his case like they cared about the OJ case.

The Israeli actor Topol, who was nominated for an Oscar for "Fiddler On The Roof", died on March 8 at age 87. Is he the third?

Never marry a woman who's had 9 previous husbands by her early 40s

Oh no, TOPOL died? Millions of smokers everywhere will be inconsolable!

And that’s the name of that tune.

A professional manipulator and whore, gets her ass blown away. Robert Blake was a national treasure.

Robert Blake/Michael Gubitosi was a complete asshole. Yes, his parents were the worst and his psychotic mother was schizophrenic. I can understand him needing to get away from them. He lived much of his childhood in the second-floor apartment of my family home, with my great-aunt Margaret. The only one in the family that took care of him and gave him love and affection. When she died in 1987, he couldn't have cared less. Fuck you Michael Gubitosi...

Signed your third cousin Joe, who became Margaret's world and I hope she never gave your selfish ass another thought.

She was warm, kind, and strict, as a devout Catholic, but she was my favorite aunt.

Topol was second; Robert Blake was third.

Perhaps it's been more than three.

Ricou Browning, the Creature From the Black Lagoon, died March 1.

His big dick couldn’t live forever.

R85, Blake was no prize himself, why do you think he married her? But I guess she deserved to die because she was a "whore"

R86, he SUPPORTED his a-hole parents and siblings from the age of THREE. That's bound to make some people a little crazy...

Thanks, R73. I was trying to remember that catchphrase of his.

R81, R87 - R74 already mentioned the third, Topol.

His character Mickey was the absolute WORST of the Our Gang comedies....especially when he had to cry.....well maybe Janet was worse....but he was a close second.

R93, I was addressing R81, who asked if Topol was the third.

I thought his Johnny Carson appearances were very funny. He was such a mess...one time he did an appearance where he was wearing a shirt turned inside out. It was funny as hell.

Yes, R95, but if R81 read through the thread R74 already addressed it - no further queries necessary.

I didn't make a 'query,' R97. I made a comment, which I have every right to do, your sock-expressed annoyance notwithstanding.

[quote][R24], Sidney Kibrick is alive at 94

I thought his movie "Barry Lyndon" was SO boring!

100!

Not one "You betchum, Red Ryder!" mention? Can it be the really ancient elder-gheys finally all died off?

R96, his appearances on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow Show were a freak show. A freak show with a full ashtray. Those were the days.

A long haphazard chaotic life, but hopefully now at peace.

[quote]I have not a cloo what the fuck an Orson Wells is but good un. Fattie must be the one that originated that sayin

Ignorant as a stump and damned proud of it!

R104 Not really. I have decided to mis spell ,most of wut I fucking right just to puiss you fucking nazee cunts awff.

He must’ve been a real inspiration to little people.

He had a long run. RIP Mr. Blake.

I read his harrowing autobio. What a weird, wild life. And Baretta was one of the best TV shows ever.

I genuinely thought he died a couple of months ago. Was there an article about him being sick, maybe?

I watched Baretta when I was a kid. Blake wasn't ugly or handsome. He was an appealing little character.

He was a very good actor. He was great in, "In Cold Blood". I enjoyed him in Barretta, too. He's one of the rare actors who started as a young child... and successfully continued acting into adulthood.

When I was a kid, I remember seeing him in his tighty whities in "Electra Glide in Blue" and getting turned on. He had a muscular, hunky body.

He probably sampled the man-sex.

Obligatory statement on DL.

[quote] I thought his Johnny Carson appearances were very funny.

[quote] I'd have done him back in the day, but he couldn't live forever...

Would I have had a chance with you too, then?

[quote] He had a muscular, hunky body.

He had a compact body because he was barely 5 feet in heels.

His compact body is dead.

He was very short, very crazy and marginally talented.

And he killed that grifter Bonnie. He's dead. Good.

What I find more appalling is somebody posting here who doesn't know who Robert Blake or Orson Wells is.

The Blake case was the first time I heard the expression “they needed killing “ .

[quote] who doesn't know who ... Orson Wells is

That's rich. It's Welles!

At 5'4" Blake was a homunculus.

R36, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" was far from Blake's first film.

Bonny Lee Bakley was married ten times. Her eighth husband, Glynn Wolfe was married 31 times. Glynn Wolfe's TWENTY-EIGHTH wife was Linda Taylor, who has been married 23 times.

Count me in as one of those who thought he died a long time ago.

R125 His soul died about 25 years ago. That's probably what you were thinking of.

Definitely awakened the young gayling in me in the "Barretta" and "In Cold Blood" years.

Hold up R112, is that real?

No mention of his passing on The View despite it being the network that carried Baretta. Barbara Walters did a legendary interview with him.

....

....

[Quote]Bonny Lee Bakley was married ten times. Her eighth husband, Glynn Wolfe was married 31 times. Glynn Wolfe's TWENTY-EIGHTH wife was Linda Taylor, who has been married 23 times.

Thank God none of them were GAY marriages, because that would go against the sanctity of holy matrimony.

We wouldn't have permitted either. We're consistent. ^

R128, it's a parody account.

I married Rita Hayworth. You married Bonny Lee Bakely.

If only they'd not cancelled Toma because hot, sexy Tony Musante only wanted to do one season, we'd have forgotten Robert Blake.

R38 Terry Kilburn was never in the Our Gang/Little Rascals films. He made many movies for MGM in the 1930s and '40s. He's still alive at 96! And gay. His partner of over 50 years, actor Charles Nolte, died in January 2010.

He's not going anywhere.

Won't be missed. Gurl, bye!

He was so fucked in the head that he won't know he is in hell.

[quote]He was so fucked in the head that he won't know he is in hell.

Maybe he'll figure it out when he sees Bonnie there giving him the stink eye.

Blake was a lot more sympathetic than Bonnie Lee. At least he had acting talent. The only talents she had were lying and spreading her legs.

Bonnie’s beaver shots were horrifying. You could actually smell the stinky pussy and ass when looking at them.

[quote]Blake was a lot more sympathetic than Bonnie Lee. At least he had acting talent. The only talents she had were lying and spreading her legs.

For which she paid with her life, courtesy of a husband who was sufficiently brain-damaged to marry her in the first place.

Jimmy Kimmel took quite a shot (no pun intended) at Blake at the Oscars last night.

And no, he wasn't in the In Memoriam.

Those clips of Blake on Johnny Carson were fucking disturbing. Buddy seems seriously brain damaged. Way too much fucking white privilege from that fuckhead.

Blake wasn't in the memorials at the Oscars last night...didn't see it. I also noticed that TCM hasn't done a "TCM remembers" on him either.

He's been in Hollywood since a kid, and has done movies....notably "In Cold Blood". Regardless of his personal like, should have been included.

personal *life^^

Has Fred the cockatoo made a comment yet?

I'll ask him..^^

[quote] Blake wasn't in the memorials at the Oscars last night...didn't see it. I also noticed that TCM hasn't done a "TCM remembers" on him either.

Several people were left out of the Oscar memorial: Anne Heche, Tom Sizemore among them. TCM doesn't do TCM Remembers spots for most actors, only a selected few.

Cindy Williams and Stella Stevens.......not there.....instead we get casting directors and publicists.

No Paul Sorvino- that was a disgrace.

Hollywood is a snubby, cliquey club.

Anne Heche, no, corect?

I still think somebody pays AMPAS to get their dead non-actor relatives on the broadcast.....make that coin.

Jimmy Kimmel was a dick to do that to Robert Blake's family. They're still in the mourning.

R159 They're much more fun in the afternoon.

He had a batshit crazy appearance on Piers Morgan's CNN show after he was acquitted for killing his ho. Started off wearing a leather jacket then moved to a leather vest, no shirt underneath. I think he may have threatened to walk off and I believe Piers told him he felt threatened or that Blake wanted to fight him. Ranted about owning half of Santa Monica, blah blah blah. His dad's brother was his daddy which meant that the man who raised him hated him because he was the product of an affair that his wife had with his own brother. A complete mess. I'm surprised he made it to 89, but I guess that's just a testament to his scrappy nature.

The shittier they are....the longer they live, it seems.

For real r162.

Again?
