BREAKING NEWS: Baretta star Robert Blake dies of heart disease aged 89: Was once cleared of hiring stunt double to murder his wife who had at least 10 previous husbands
Robert Blake has died at the age of 89 after a battle with heart disease, according to his family.
Blake worked for more than 60 years in Hollywood, starring in classics like Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Humphrey Bogart and In Cold Blood with John Forsythe. He was also the star of a number of studio westerns under the stage name Bobby Blake.
On television, he was also known as undercover New York City detective Tony Baretta in Baretta, which aired on ABC for four seasons in the mid-1970s.
But while his career was widely celebrated, Blake had also been charged with the murder of his wife Bonny Lee Bakley in 2002, along with solicitation of murder, conspiracy and special circumstances of lying in wait.
A jury, though, found him not guilty and his wife’s case was never solved.
