#RobertBlake (1933–2023)
The former #movie #ChildActor (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with #HumphreyBogart) is best remembered for starring in the 1970s #TVseries #Baretta
His most notable big-screen role is that of the co-murderer (with #ScottWilson) who's sent to the gallows in #RichardBrooks' #InColdBlood (1967), from #TrumanCapote's novel, itself based on actual events.
In real life, Blake was acquitted (in 2005) of his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley's #2001 murder.
