ROBERT BLAKE

ROBERT BLAKE

18 September 1933 – 9 March 2023

            Robert Blake is an American actor who started his career as a child actor best known as appearing in Our Gang (Little Rascals). He went on to portray Perry Smith in In Cold Blood (1967) and appeared in David Lynch’s film The Lost Highway (1997).

            Blake was born in Nutley, New Jersey into a family of entertainers who then after moved to Los Angeles in 1938. Blake grew up being violently abused by his father, at school he was bullied and was sexually assaulted by his father and ran away from home aged 14. His father took his own life in 1956.  

            Blake’s successful acting career came to an end when he was accused of killing his wife Bonny Lee Bakely in 2005. Blake was married three times and had three children.

            He married Bonny Lee Bakley in 1999, who had been married nine times previously and had a history of preying on older successful men for their money. During their relationship she was also involved with Christian Brando, the son of Marlon Brando. She got pregnant and told both men that the baby was theirs and Blake married her in 2000, he became her tenth husband. A DNA test proved he was the father.

            On 4 May 2001, Blake took Bakley out for dinner at a restaurant in California where Bakley was shot and killed whilst inside his vehicle. Blake stated he returned to the restaurant to collect a gun which he left inside the restaurant and wasn’t with Bakley when she was murdered. His gun in the restaurant wasn’t the weapon that was used in her death.

            In 2002, Blake was arrested and charged with her murder, his bodyguard, Earle Caldwell was also arrested for involvement in the crime. A retired stuntman, Ronald ‘Duffy’ Hambleton alleged that Blake attempted to hire him to kill Bakely, another stuntman came forward, Gary McLarty who also made the same allegation. Blake pled not guilty and after spending a year in prison he was given bail in 2003 and was placed under house arrest. There wasn’t enough evidence to tie him to the murder and he was found not guilty in 2005. A civil suit was filed against Blake by three of his children, stating he killed their mother, he was found liable and Blake had to pay $15 million.

            In 2010, Blake was in hot water once again for not paying his taxes. In 2021, Quention Tarantino dedicated his book Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to Blake. Brad Pitt’s character mirrors Blake’s life in the film (2019).

            Blake died from heart disease in Los Angeles in 2023, aged 89.

Saturday Night Live has seen so many fantastic guest stars over its nearly 50 year run - but not everyone is exactly welcome back to Studio 8H. From controversial performers who managed to do something shocking on stage to actors and comedians who had confrontations on and off-screen, there are some stars along the way who have done or said something controversial enough to be banned from hosting or performing on the show ever again. From Sinead O'Connor to Adrien Brody to Martin Lawrence, a surprising amount of talent has been told not to come back. 2. Sinead O'Connor In what is perhaps the most well-known case of an artist being banned from the show, Sinead O'Connor performed in October of 1992. During the performance, she ripped a photo of Pope John Paul II in half while singing Bob Marley's "War." (According to later interviews, she held up a photo of a starving child in interviews.) Joe Pesci would later address the incident a week later in his monologue, and re-runs of the show included her rehearsal footage. 6. Steven Seagal Steven Seagal just didn't have a good relationship behind-the-scenes. "He just wasn’t funny and he was very critical of the cast and the writing staff. He didn’t realize that you can’t tell somebody they’re stupid on Wednesday and expect them to continue writing for you on Saturday," said Tim Meadows. Lorne Michaels even dissed him in a later show hosted by Nicolas Cage, who said in his monologue he was worried about being seen as the biggest jerk. “No, no. That would be Steven Seagal,” Lorne responded. #AdrienBrody #AndyKaufman, #CharlesGrodin #CypressHill #elviscostello #Frank Zappa #MartinLawrence #MiltonBerle, #RageAgainsttheMachine #RobertBlake #SaturdayNightLive #SineadOConnor #LouiseLassiter #TheReplacements https://www.instagram.com/p/CRffsGMFNVh/?utm_medium=tumblr

📺🎞 #LateNightCinema #classic Watching “In Cold Blood”, a 1967 American crime film written, produced and directed by Richard Brooks, based on Truman Capote's nonfiction book of the same name. It stars Robert Blake as Perry Smith and Scott Wilson as Richard "Dick" Hickock, two men who murder a family of four in Holcomb, Kansas, and charts their time as fugitives, capture by police, and eventual executions. Although the film is in parts faithful to the book, Brooks made some slight alterations, including the inclusion of a fictional character, "The Reporter" (played by Paul Stewart). The film was shot on location at sites where Smith and Hickock's crimes occurred, including the real Clutter home where they robbed and murdered all four members of the family. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards: Director, Original Score, Cinematography, and Adapted Screenplay. Noted by film historians as an early example of Hollywood new realism, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Plot: In this adaptation of Truman Capote's seminal true-crime novel, ex-convicts Perry Smith (Robert Blake) and Richard "Dick" Hickock (Scott Wilson) hatch a plan to rob a wealthy Kansas family, the Clutters. The men enter the Clutter home expecting to find a safe filled with cash, but in fact find no money at all. Enraged, they kill the entire family and flee. While on the run, they face not only the realities of their terrible crime but also their own earthly impermanence. #movie #film #basedonatruestory #incoldblood #trumancapote #richardbrooks #robertblake #crime #thriller (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxehWQ5HbUU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dqz4nmljkhi0
