Rbert Blake is dead to me.

Except for the misspelling. Dammit we need an edit function

Accurate, but out of date. He's been dead for two years.

No worries OP. His name is spelled correctly in this thread from 2023.

James Dean is also dead, OP.

Robert Blake, Emmy-Winning Actor Whose Tumultuous Career Was Marred by Murder Accusation and Acquittal, Dies at 89

Generalissimo Francisco Franco lives he still?

Amanda Blake is dead also. She died 36 years ago today. Geez, it's tough being a 'Blake' these days.

Go easy on the OP. His dial-up just came back up after having been down for the past two years.

Tell me about it

JonBenét Ramsey is also dead, OP.

RIP. I will remember him best from the critically acclaimed action-comedy smash “Money Train” with Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez.

I'm alive! Come find me on the lost highway, bitches!

OP you may want to take this news sitting down:

Lucille Ball has died.

That's right, the Lucille Ball. 36 years ago. Gone.

Such an odd thread given that most people probably assumed he died much earlier even than 2023.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead too.

I just saw an article stating he died. They do this a lot now. I read Bob Newhart died last month when he died on the same date but in 2024. I guess AI is a hell of a lot dumber than we thought.

Is Phil Spector still alive or is he PERManently gone?

Robert Reed is dead, too.

At least Blake Edwards is still with us.

I wonder how much money he had to leave to his daughter with the murder victim.

His daughter Wrose?

Blake like me.

His daughter was with the murder victim at the time of her death? Did Blake throw some spare change her way as he fled the scene? Poor girl.

Be sure to pronounce Rbert’s surname correctly.

I read that Krl Malden is dead to you too

[quote] JonBenét Ramsey is also dead, OP.

Mrs. Astor safe.

Shnan Doherty is also dead to all of us, in case you hadn't heard.

Apparently

I also saw that story at R5 posted on the crappy MSN home page, It's MSN's latest clickbait trick, posting obits of well known celebs who have been dead for a few years. I saw one for a celeb who's been dead for about 10 years, although I can't recall who it was. Sometimes they'll make it a "cause of death" story: "Cause of death for Mama Cass revealed."

Yes, R29. The only time I see these types of dug up (pun intended) obits is on MSN. They make it sound like breaking news.

Cricket Blake is still with us!

Blake's Lotaburger is the fast food hamburger chain of choice for dead Blakes.

HELL TOWN

Keep yuh eye on a shparroow.

tRump is brain dead.

tRUMP's BRAIN DEAD??!!!

But BOBBY Blake is still with us.

It's apparently official.

The Flash, R37?

Dead, dead?

[Quote] for dead Blakes.

The Dead Blakes are my favorite 80s punk band.

The widow Krystle Carrington is sad to inform us that her husband Blake Carrington has been dead for years.

Also, Julie and Barbara Cooper have announced the shocking death of their mother, MS. Ann Romano, from 12 and a half years ago. A go-fund-me has been set up for the daughters for a proper burial, as their mother has been 'iced' all this time.

I forgot how sordid this whole situation was - from Bonny Lee's "accidental nude photoshoots" as a child, to marrying her first cousin, to how obviously guilty Blake was. Total trash, the both of them...

R20 The murder baby was raised by Blake’s older daughter who is seemingly normal. It appears the child has had a relatively conventional upper middle class upbringing aside from the old dad in jail aspect.

From Google: Robert Blake's older daughter is Delinah Blake, from his first marriage to actress Sondra Kerr. She was granted guardianship of his younger daughter, Rose Lenore Sophia Blake, after the death of Rose's mother, Bonny Lee Bakley. Delinah is a clinical psychologist who has worked with abused and neglected children, according to the Los Angeles Times.
