Robert Blake

He's 78 and broke. He retired years ago, but he's thinking he may return to acting. Low budget filmmakers should jump at the chance.

He was acquitted of murdering his wife several years ago. He had an alibi---he couldn't have killed her because he was was away for a few minutes getting his gun. If he was guilty, then what an idiot! He really lucked out.

His late "wife" was terrible. Even Dominick Dunne sided with Blake in this case.

But you'd think he would have had enough money that he could have divorced his wife and kept custody of his child. That's why he resorted to murder (if he did it), because he couldn't divorce her without losing his daughter and having her grow up with that degenerate woman. And a degenerate she was.

That was Blake's defense. That his wife's activities were such--she had ripped off and blackmailed so many men--that there were countless people with motive to finish her off, including convicted killer Christian Brando. When she got pregnant, she had debated whether to name Brando or Blake as the father. Her decision was based on which one would give her greater status. She wanted to marry a celebrity.

She once married a man she met online, went with him on a honeymoon in Las Vegas. They went to a casino. He gave her some cash to gamble with. She walked away with the money and he never saw her again.

Low budget filmmakers should cast Blake if possible.

You look at these low budget movies that hire Dustin Diamond, or one of the Brady Bunch, thinking it'll give the movie a real professional sheen. This could be your chance to work with somebody that's actually good! For God's sake, he worked with Humphrey Bogart!
