Always loved Robert Blake and still believe in his innocence. I wish you weren't hidden away but it's understandable considering all the haters in the world today. Your talent is missed.
This mini-documentary at least helped put some context around the situation. Bonny clearly was a sociopath Black Window, Blake knew it, and tried to put legal protections around himself prior to their marriage. Can't help but feel Blake was responsible--her death was too convenient. Should've just divorced her instead. Bonny married 10 times?? and how did her previous husbands who died and left her houses die? Wouldn't be surprised if Bonny had "assisted" prior husbands in dying and had plans to help Blake die prematurely as well, she seems like just that kind.
@@jdaniels1313 Good analogy, I don't know much about her, but seems like so many Ppl find the worst ones to engage with, like I said I loved him in that character, but watching interviews of him kind of turned me off about his personality.
@@watercloset99 So what's your point.... We know hes dead, doesn't mean we can't co.miserate or praise his life.. only calluos unfeeling jerks have to rain on others comments or feelings on a subject...
Another winner, Jerry! I always admired Blake's work and knew intuitively that he killed Bonnie; plus the evidence was almost irrefutable as well. Oh well, he "got shed of her", anyway. He seemed to be a natural born actor, as he has shown many times.
I Jerry I'm glad you're still at it I know it takes a lot of time and work to do what you do and I'm here to tell you I appreciate what you do and you're one of the best at it Keith Kuhn
I hope he finally found the happiness we all deserve to experience in this life. It seems that he had a great deal of tolerance and understanding for people even when they were abusing or taking advantage of him.
At least. I don't think this includes some of the men that she married with her Lonely Hearts Club business. Just long enough to take their $$$. As a mom myself, I find the fact that she abandoned her kids even more hard to believe. No one deserves what happened, but...
As always a great video with great content. I loved Robert Blake and the series Baretta. I think he was a great actor. Too bad he had such a hard time in life. I really hope he is happy now.
Another classic Jerry....l get busy and stressed out from time to time but hearing your voice calms me more than anything....you have a God given talent for delivering narrations.....I can’t wait until the next one......until then God Bless and I wish you nothing but the best.
Thanks Jerry for these biographies of the "Little Rascal." I didn't see a lot of these characters,but they certainly charmed me as a kid. This complete bio of Robert Blake is informative, compassionate and interesting. Thanks for producing it.
You really have to see "Treasure Of The Sierra Madre" (1948)! It's one of the best movies ever...EVER, and he's in that along side the great Humph as well as both Walter, and John Huston
Robert Blake looks just like his Dad. I absolutely loved him on Barretta! One of my favorite shows growing up in the 70's. I really think he got a bum rap, getting mixed up with that lady Bonnie. I never believed he killed her at all, She was all over the place Jeez. I hope he has found peace and happiness.
i hope he's happy & at peace with him self here is a man that worked since he was what 3 or4 yrs old supported his family and was being abused at the same time. what a life to have. peace love & much much happiness for the rest of your long life & beyond ROB
Lifetime fan of Robert Blake and a fan of your channel from the first I video I watched. Informative, entertaining and all the subjects of your documentaries are treated with dignity. As a lifelong fan of too many of them to list here thank you.
Taught me empathy, honor and courage, as I believe what we witnessed in his acting, is the the true real man that he was and still is, thank you Robert.
He was a very good actor and a man with a closet full of demons. He talked about it at least once that I saw. He was very candid about a lot of bad that he lived with and took responsibility for a lot of bad he brought to the table with it. I came away from it seeing a humble man beaten, not asking forgiveness or sympathy.
Excellent video. I never believed he killed that woman. Her past should have been investigated for the source of the killer. I'm glad he is settled and happy.
This guy was gorgeous in his hey day. Better looking than any movie star to date and an awesome actor. Baretta was my all time fave show. I looked forward to that every Friday night.
@Thou Swell he might of wished she were gone but there was another man she was involved with at the same time, Christian Brando and he was really pissed at how she played him. He even said to her your lucky theres not someone out there looking to put a bullet in your head. Brando had his druggie associates cap her and let Blake take the fall.
A reminder to be thankful for what you have and not sad over what you don't have. There may be those that have more, but they also, may have more problems than you.
I saw him at the guitar shop a bunch of times around 2011ish in Sherman Oaks Cali. He’s friends with the owner and they play poker in the back. He plays guitar well. I lived by there and saw him around town before that but he spent a lot of time at the guitar shop. He seemed nice.
Mytube777 Norm’s Rare Guitars. Yes, they are friends. Norm’s has a youtube channel, and Bobby has appeared on several vids with Norm. Several of Blake’s guitars have been purchased by Norm and are on permanent display there, in a special cabinet.
Wow I watched little rascals and watched him as an adult. When I read the name Robert Blake I said I use to watch him. I never knew until today he was a little rascal. I watched him on tv all this time. I was a little girl watching him and an adult watching him and didn't know it until today. Wow.
I always liked his acting, and knew he had troubles, and problems. Followed the trials, but did not know what happened to him after. Again, great job. Thanks.👍🙂‼️
AGREED...I Also Do Feel The Older Bakely Children Shouldn't Get Squat. ...&: I've Always Wanted To See: "Electra Glide In Blue", And: "Tell 'Em Willy Boy's Here", As Well.
Thank you so much for doing this I really appreciate it Robert Blake is truly a Hollywood icon and I cannot believe they hung him out to dry .... I hope one day I meet Robert and can tell him how much he has meant to me over the years. And how unfortunate it was for him to meet Bonnie Lee ...
Thank you Tedd, I told him he was a hollywood icon and he asked if i wonted to interview him. I thanked him but i have never interviewed anyone before. He liked the video and called me, i thought that was very nice of him. Jerry
I was in a movie theater in about 1947 and Bobby Blake was in the movie as Little Beaver. He appeared after the movie to sell items associated with Little Beaver and he was dressed in costume and signed autographs. I never realized until much later that he was the actor Robert Blake.😋
Dearest Jerry, I agree wholehearted with Karen, "The way you do your videos, without prejudice, is refreshing!" I'm still a fan, sir. I think I started watching your road trip biographies (with your wife) about 10 years ago. Maybe more. One of my favorite videos is one you made counseling people on how to be a good private investigator. I love you and your family. God bless you all. Stay safe and well, honey. Hugs, Linda Lee
My Grandfather , my Mom and Pop loved him , now it's my turn and I adore him .... I so fondly remember him on a episode of "One Step Beyond" (Gypsy) , he is so special 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Bunny was a freaking mess, and severe user of people. There were any number of her victims that were perfectly capable of offing her given the chance. The travesty of justice is that once exonerated, the police never re opened the case to find the real killer. They have no interest in doing so, as it proves they are incompetent in the first place. After the trial, Bobby did retract from a more social life, but did maintain a friendship with Shelly Winters, and attended gatherings at her home. More details about this can be learned on Jordan Lee’s youtube channel, Daze with Jordan the Lion. Shelly befriended the young Jordan soon after his arrival in LA, and gave him acting lessons and included him in her social gatherings at her home , including some where Bobby attended. Jordan tells the story of Bobby coming by such a party soon after his release, unsure if he would be welcome. Shelly welcomed him warmly.
What a wonderful response. You hit the nail on the head. Shelley was apparently quite the social norm buster. I enjoy her acting. She's a real "dame". Didn't take guff from anyone, man or woman.
If my child was in the custody of a nut case like her i wpuld do ANYTHING. I NEED TOO DO. to keep my child safe. i do not know if he did ...or knew about crime. but i do npt blame him ...luv bpbby blake
It's not unusual for the police, and district attorney to call it quits after they lose a highly publicized case, plausible deniability is built into any other cases that follow.
Very talented screen actor. Teaming up with the 'wrong' women is a critical error many men are guilty of. Sometimes a man is just better off with a dog.
In 1973, Robert Blake starred in a very good movie as a police office who rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I have this film which co-starred Billy Green Bush and Mitchell Ryan. The plot of this movie surrounds Blake's job as a cop who ties hippies to a murder in the Arizona desert. Check it out. And thanks, Jerry Skinner, for another well produced and hosted movie/TV personality. His tragic criminal and civil trials remind me of the O.J. murder case.
Wow. Incredible. Addiction goes down the generations in the most outrageous twisting turning ways. Thank you for such a good documentary. And thank you for you mature approach in not pushing who is bad right and wrong, and that is the mark of a true documentarian
It's so sad he fell so low. Parents do such cruel things to their children sometimes. And their actions as adults are a direct result of that treatment. I'm sorry for both actually. Bunnie must have had a horrific childhood to become such a user. Did he do it? NO ONE KNOWS! No matter the opinions below~no one was there. No one witnessed the murder. So no one can condemn him. Thank you for this Jerry~as usual wonderfully done. Jenn 💖 in Canada 🍁
He absolutely did NOT do it. The fact that they threw him in jail w/o bail for a year is a disgrace. The man had NO--that is ABSOLUTELY NO gunpowder residue on his hands or clothing. The cops knew the very night this happened that he COULDN'T have done it. But it wasn't the first of the last time an LA prosecutor ruined an innocent man's life. Check out what Ira Reiner did to Ray Buckey sometime!
@@TheRealDrJoey I've carried a gun for years, and I've never unstrapped it, and left it loose in a public place. If I'm in a public environment, that pistol is with me, on my person, at all times.
Fascinating, thx! Surprised no mention of his role in Electra Glide In Blue, which first put him in the public eye, and resulted in basically reprising the same character in the Baretta series.
Robert Blake was a great actor, I will always hope the best for him to have a better time now. I was also one who overcame my childhood to do what I wanted in life. God bless you Robert and Jerry for sharing. Peace.
Robert Blake was treated terribly in his personal life. I admire his strength and talent His suffering was wrong,his parent and his brother were his main problem. It was a shame that no one cared.
It’s hard to understand why abuse happens to families. It’s so sad. I remember the movie In Cold Blood. It was hard to sleep after seeing the movie. I didn’t want to see it again.
I've always been a fan of this man-I learned a lot from your documentary, though! I loved him as Baretta, but my favorite appearances of his was on Johnny Carson-he was one of the first people to publicly admit to anxiety, and I guess that just kind of captured my imagination, LoL! It runs in my family, extensively, and I guess I just found it charming, in a way. I hope he gets all he wants; he's certainly been "through it", hasn't he? I think it would be an interesting story of how he managed to graduate high school despite all those things being against him. That's amazing!
Love Robert.. so sad we all have to fight such demons in our lives.. well, maybe not all of us but too many.. Life can sure throw out the curve balls. Fighting addiction is horrible just horrible many of us need all the prayers we can get & thank you in advance
The movie In Cold Blood, he should've won a Oscar for it. Powerful performance!
Boy are you ever RIGHT!! His performance was so convincing it was eerie. Like he was cut out perfectly to play the psychopathic Perry.
Yes,I remember that movie,it was tense,dark,eerie.The execution scenes at the end just added to the tragic scenario.It was also based on a true story.Truly one of Robert Blake's most powerful performance performance yi. performance
Always loved Robert Blake and still believe in his innocence. I wish you weren't hidden away but it's understandable considering all the haters in the world today. Your talent is missed.
Gone but never forgotten. You were an amazing actor. May you finally

I allways liked Robert Blake.His acting in the movie In Cold Blood was fantastic.Sorry for all his troubles

Robert's mistake was ever getting involved with this woman. But, most of us make choices that are not good for our mental and physical health.
JamesDunn My heart bleeds purple piss for this murderer!
My choices of women haven't been so good either. I understand.
Roland Rodrigues But you didn’t kill them, did you?
@@price-singspuccini6124 - LOL - he was found not guilty by a Jury of his peers, try again.
Bonnie was a class act GOLDDIGGER. I can't believe Blake was stupid enough to fall for it.
I'm glad he has someone in his life who genuinely cares for him , with all the tragedy he's endured he deserves some happiness.
He's dead

I love Jerry's voice very cool and relaxing a pleasure to hear and I grew up with his subject and always learn something new
This story. would make a great movie. I have always been a fan of Robert Blake. Thank you for this interesting biography.
Electra Glide in Blue, In Cold Blood. Two classics that I am proud to say are in my collection.
Dammit Boy Electra glide in Blue was GREAT !!👍👍
I hope he finally found the happiness we all deserve to experience in this life.
It seems that he had a great deal of tolerance and understanding for people even when they were abusing or taking advantage of him.
. Sad😢
She was married 10 times! WOW! That speaks volumes
Precisely.
@@lindsey607 Can you say "Gold Digger"?

I loe him too,he was an incredible actor and a very tolerant man towards Bonnie!
He was great on Baretta.
Thomas R. Skidmore See " Electra glide in Blue" !!👍👍
He was also great in "the Little Rascals.

19 and 39. . best narrator of all time. Sounds like all my good friends i miss
Yes..a women like bonny will bring trouble every time. .
the woman, play with fire and get burned. She was a narcissistic opportunist, not to mention extensionist . These celebrities smelt it a mile away.
You are and always will be loved and missed, Robert. You were such a good actor. I wish life for you had been much better and much happier.
Your videos are so touching and solemn.
I find myself going over my difficult life and finding piece some how. Thank you
Me too.
I never knew Robert Blake was a child star. Thanks for the video.
He was a talented actor from the beginning.
You really have to see "Treasure Of The Sierra Madre" (1948)! It's one of the best movies ever...EVER, and he's in that along side the great Humph as well as both Walter, and John Huston
What planet are you from that you didn't know this
Great one Jerry. I loved Baretta when I was a kid. I recall the purse snatching scene in the opening.

I never believed he killed her at all, She was all over the place Jeez. I hope he has found peace and happiness.
If he didn't kill her, he was in on it, probably paid a scumbag to shoot her
He remains one of my favorite actors! Hope he has found peace in his life!
This was wonderful! Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾
I love this guys voice reminds me of the Waltons .

Thanks Jerry another home run of information...
Mr. Jerry Skinner you are in a groove getting better and better. I enjoy very much listening to your stories.

Jerry, you are the BEST! You sound like an actor. I thoroughly enjoy all your docs.
And the actor he sounds like the most is Richard Farnsworth.
This guy was gorgeous in his hey day. Better looking than any movie star to date and an awesome actor. Baretta was my all time fave show. I looked forward to that every Friday night.
What a hard life, he´s had - and what a hard fighter he is. I´ve always refused to believe, that he actually killed Bonnie. He was framed.
And poorly at that.
And OJ Simpson has never stopped looking for the killer of his wife, and Ron Goldman.
@Thou Swell he might of wished she were gone but there was another man she was involved with at the same time, Christian Brando and he was really pissed at how she played him. He even said to her your lucky theres not someone out there looking to put a bullet in your head. Brando had his druggie associates cap her and let Blake take the fall.
Bonnie was a cowwoman, I feel for the poor daughter. Modern day Only Fans only worse, seeking celebrities to breed with.
A reminder to be thankful for what you have and not sad over what you don't have. There may be those that have more, but they also, may have more problems than you.
Jerry is a storyteller who can hold the rapt attention of any audience, young and old.
Always well done videos Jerry. Thanks
I loved in cold blood one of my all times favorite movie..he rocked that leather jacket and that shiny.black hair....love at first sight

Thanks for the video
Your videos are wonderful. Thank you.
Very informative. Not sure how you can maintain such a disengaged attitude/delivery, while giving the sordid details of some of these people.
scripted then read threw a microphone with a filter even you could do it bill
As Baretta, Blake would also always say, "... and you can take THAT to the bank!"
It's so sad he fell so low. Parents do such cruel things to their children sometimes. And their actions as adults are a direct result of that treatment.
I'm sorry for both actually.
Bunnie must have had a horrific childhood to become such a user.

Yep , in my younger days , I was a drummer for strippers in Chicago's Old town , it's hard not to fall for them.
when in doubt, hire a private investigator
Thanks a Jerry...another complete report of “just the facts”.
It’s hard to understand why abuse happens to families. It’s so sad. I remember the movie In Cold Blood. It was hard to sleep after seeing the movie. I didn’t want to see it again.
One of my favorite actors of the 70's, especially since he looks just like me!
I've always been a fan of this man-I learned a lot from your documentary, though! I loved him as Baretta, but my favorite appearances of his was on Johnny Carson-he was one of the first people to publicly admit to anxiety, and I guess that just kind of captured my imagination, LoL! It runs in my family, extensively, and I guess I just found it charming, in a way. I hope he gets all he wants; he's certainly been "through it", hasn't he? I think it would be an interesting story of how he managed to graduate high school despite all those things being against him. That's amazing!
Regardless of what Happened. Robert Blake was Still Cool RIP
Barretta was one of my late Dad's TV favorite show. I love it too.
Love Robert.. so sad we all have to fight such demons in our lives.. well, maybe not all of us but too many.. Life can sure throw out the curve balls. Fighting addiction is horrible just horrible many of us need all the prayers we can get & thank you in advance
Thanks once again Jerry! Another video well done
