RIP - Robert Blake

Tools    





RIP, Robert Blake (Micheal James Gubitosi) - a really intense actor, played intense, hard edged characters in westerns, crime and war movies, also with some hard edges to his real life, including things like paternity suits, IRS-Tax problems, and being accused of the murder of his wife. He had an alibi and wasn't convicted. The fallout from the trial ended his career. Quentin Tarantino (the film maker) wrote a novel with a character based on Blake. This guy played just about any kind of unsavory character you can imagine, including the Beast of Budapest, Simon the Zealot, badly made-up fake Native Americans and "Chuck" in a movie called Rumble on the Docks.
