[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 356101, member: 57984"] He was perfectly cast in HUMORESQUE, a Libra Rising little boy who grows into a Libra Rising adult (Garfield). Funny, in the spring of 2001, I was sitting out back of a friend's house one morning, waiting for his realtor to show up, and he got a call on his cellphone from the brother in Texas he only occasionally spoke to. Right away I heard him say, "Really? Robert Blake...?" followed by silence as he listened. Now, by 2001, Blake's name was not exactly in the news and hadn't really be for years. And if Blake had died, my friend's brother would hardly have picked up his phone and called him a thousand miles away to discuss it. My first thought was that Blake, being Blake, must have killed somebody... Then I went through my mental rolodex as to whom Robert Blake might have killed .... A stranger? His agent? A director? A local mobster? A waiter? Johnny Stompanato? None of them seemed likely... So I stopped on "his wife." My friend chatted with his brother for about 15 minutes about various family imbroglios going on, and when he hung up the phone, I asked, "Robert Blake killed his wife?" And he looked at me, surprised, and said, "Oh, you'd heard...". I had not. I just couldn't imagine why his semi-estranged brother would be calling him from Texas one morning to talk about, of all people, a washed-up celeb like Robert Blake unless Blake had killed somebody and that person was his wife. Psychic powers? Not hardly. Some things are just fated. And if any of us had been married to Bonnie Lee Blakely, we probably would have killed her, too. As an interesting side note, in IN COLD BLOOD (1967), a very good movie, Blake plays likeable real-life killer Perry Smith, who kills someone named "Bonnie" (along with her entire family). So, yeah, some cluttered lives are just fated. ... except that Blake beat the rap.
