Sad about Robert Blake, however, I'm not sure if I should believe that he was really lonely and broke at the time of his death. Didn't he have a girlfriend like 4 years ago? I don't know whether he killed his wife or if it was someone else. It's not my job to judge him. If God is real, he's already receiving his judgment if he actually did something wrong. He was a great actor who will be missed by many.

Loved this man. ❤ I understand what he said, perfectly. Death isn't something to fear. RIP 💔

When I look at the late, great Robert Blake, I see- 1.) The last of the ever-beloved Our Gang/Little Rascals, 2.) Baretta…of course, 3.) No Eyebrow Man from David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997)… 4.) A real-life father…🖤🩶🤍❤️ I DON’T see a murderer, because, as a Marine veteran, I’ve done and seen things I’M not proud of. So, no judgement here. Robert might’ve been shunned by Hollywood since the late 90’s, but I’m EXTREMELY proud of TCM for remembering “Mr. Baretta” in their 2023 edition of TCM Remembers…and a big shout out to the Oscar for taking special consideration for including RB in their In Memorium segment of the upcoming Academy Awards Ceremony. 💐💐💐🕯️🕯️🪦🕯️🕯️💐💐💐 RIP (1934-1923)… You were denied the prosperity you enjoyed earlier in life. May you enjoy that eternal Peace that eluded you after the spotlights went dead and the curtains came down for the last time. You will always be that Our Gang/Little Rascal I remember from MY childhood growing up… Peace ☮️ out…❤️🤍🩶🖤

I feel sad that his daughter never had much contact with her dad. He wrote on his wall he had “no kids.” Tragic.

He also worked with the great Laurel & Hardy in The Big Noise (1944), you can't get much higher than meeting this duo even though it's a career low point for them.
