He was a very good actor, but a complicated person

Just found this article in People Magazine from 2019. It's an interview with his daughter, Rose, who was just an infant when her mother was killed. She states she never saw or visited with him until she was 18. Probably for the better. She was raised by her older half-sister and her husband.

I loved Barretta but I believe he got away with murder. IMO.

I’ll never forget the interviews he did after he was acquitted. At least 1 was with Larry King. Totally bizarre. That’s when a person would say to themselves ‘yep, he did it.’

Oscar ceremonies snubbed Robert Blake during the ‘In Memoriam’ tributes. The host actually made a joke about whether he should be left out.

May he rest in peace.
