In an exclusive Canadian interview with 680 Showbiz Editor Gloria Martin, Robert Blake talks about his new book “Tales of a Rascal.”
Robert Blake looks back with no filters on the good, the bad and the ugly times in his life. His highs range from being a child star in “The Little Rascals” to acting with people like Natalie Wood, Steve McQueen, Ava Gardner and Marilyn Monroe. His lows include his loveless, often tragic childhood and being accused of killing his wife Bonnie Bakley in 2001. It also includes nearly dying during a brutal incarceration only to be acquitted of the crime. Although Blake was acquitted of murder and vehemently maintains his innocence, he was later found liable for Bakley’s death in a civil trial, and ordered to pay $15 million.
They took his money and they nearly took his life but 80-year-old Robert Blake is alive and kicking and his book reveals a no-holds barred look at the real Hollywood and the outrageous facts behind his sensationalized Hollywood murder trial.
