He's not exactly a big star, but Norbert Leo Butz IS a two time Tony award winner. His sister Teresa was killed by a psycho named Isaiah Kalebu, who entered her home (she lived there with her partner Jennifer Hopper; they were planning to be married) though an open window. He stabbed Butz to death and nearly killed Hopper, after raping them ("in every way imaginable" said the prosecutor) for a couple of hours.

^ Wow, that's horrible. I've heard of Norbert Leo Butz but never knew about his sister

"Robert Blake murdered his wife."

Excuse me, someone else murdered my wife while I was getting my gun!

OP, R14, Milos Milos (Milosevic) was also a friend, stunt double, and former bodyguard of Alain Delon. He was also involved in criminal underworld activities. His ex-wife, actress-showgirl Cynthia Bouron was also quite the character, having slapped Cary Grant with a paternity suit, claiming her daughter Stephanie was his. When Grant demanded a blood test, she refused and the case was dropped. Bouron was later found bound, gagged and beaten to death, in the trunk of her car parked outside the Market Basket in Studio City, in 1973. The murder was never found.

Anybody could have killed Robert Blake's wife Bonnie Lee Bakley. She was a grifter with a lot of enemies.

Anyone didn't kill her. Her husband did.

R35, But there was a very limited window of opportunity that evening after Blake left her in the parked car to briefly go back into the restaurant.

Dominic Dunne's daughter

"Anyone didn't kill her. Her husband did."

Yes, I'm sure you were right there and saw exactly what happened. I guess you like her. That's...weird.

Roman Polanski

R39, I guess you think Blake is a falsely accused saint. That's....weird.

Sarah Miles boyfriend was murdered, probably by Burt Reynolds.

" I guess you think Blake is a falsely accused saint. That's....weird."

No, I just think a lot of people would have liked to see Bonnie Bakley dead. Are you a relative of hers? Is that why you like her? Or maybe it's just that you're...weird.

r43, you aren't bright. I don't like her. I just think it's obvious that he killed her. All the people who supposedly wanted to kill her weren't at the scene. Robert Blake was. Are you a relative of his? Is that why you like him? Or maybe it's just that you're weird.

Sofia Vergara's brother was shot and killed in Colombia.

OJ Simpson’s second wife was murdered. OJ is still searching for the killer.

R44, you're an idiot. Being at a crime scene doesn't constitute proof of murder. If the proof was rock solid that he killed her, then why was he acquitted? It wasn't like Robert Blake was a glamorous figure like O. J. Simpson. Robert Blake was not a well regarded character at all; he was sleazy, in fact. But he was acquitted and for a good reason: the prosecution failed to prove its case. You're obviously a relative of Blakley.s. That must be why you love her. Either that, or you're just very, very weird.

R47, you sure seem to put a lot of effort into defending him. Get a hobby. Or just get laid.

R47, stfu

I’m hoping to one day report that mine husband vas murdered.

Fingers, not legs, crossed.

R48, you sure seem to put a lot of effort into condemning him. All I've been doing is stating facts. Get a life. Lose your virginity. Fantasies of sucking Bonnie Bakley's cunt must be so unsatisfying.

R49, you and R48 should get together. You both seem to have the same affliction.

r52 has the affliction known as mental retardation

R47 "If the proof was rock solid that he killed her, then why was he acquitted"

Meet OJ Simpson

R54, And then give a hearty hello to Claus von Bulow.
