Cat question

While Blake is of Italian descent, he was born in the US and has only made one obscure movie in Italy. Does he really qualify to be in the category of Italian actors and actresses? MK 04:45, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Broken link

I'm moving the following link which is broken here in case it goes back online or a mirror is found. --Calm 17:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CSI Expectation demanded by jurors

One would think that due to the fact that he is of Italian descent, he is an Italian actorrandazzo562-28-06

Er, at most that makes him an Italian-American actor. Italian descent doesn't make one an Italian anything; Italian nationality does. By the same logic, Frank Sinatra is not called an Italian actor (he was of Italian descent but was born, raised, and spent most of his life in the US.)75.70.123.215 (talk) 05:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About him and her sister

Blake is not considered Italian. He's considered an ItalianAmerican actor. About her sister, the name should be Giovanna. Jake 01:00, 29 Sept 2006 (UTC)

Eating Disorder Question

The page shows a link to people with eating disorders. What is his disorder? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Al95521 (talk • contribs)

that categorization was added by an anonymous user from 68.97.43.157 on November 8, 2006. That user appears to be tagging a lot of users with that category. I can't find any independent evidence that Robert Blake has an eating disorder. Unless someone can produce some within a few days, let's remove that categorization. --Amoore 17:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After looking further into it, it appears that his attorney once claimed that Blake had an eating disorder. It was probably part of building a defense case or something, so it's hard to say if it's true or not, or if Blake would say the same thing now. I'll leave it there, though I wouldn't really argue on either side of this one. -- Amoore 15:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bonny vs. Bonnie

I don't know which is the correct spelling for the first name of Blake’s late wife, but the CBS article cited in the story spells it as Bonny in its headline. Please do not revert or change the citation of the headline. — Bellhalla 13:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

courthouse shooting

Why is there no information on William Strier and his attempt to kill an attorney outside the courthouse during Blake's trial? The (rather amazing) video of that incident has been making the rounds in the independent crime video shows lately, most notably Court TV's "Video Justice." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.102.104.5 (talk) 06:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

What is Blake doing these days???

What is Blake doing these days? I thought I read somewhere that he was living in single quarters on some ranch and working as a ranch hand. I was suprised not to see any mention in this bio of what he is doing. My guess???: it was probably put in this bio but some busybody took it out. I don't have the time to go read through all the busybody deletions to see what he is doing. Does anybody know what he is doing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.127.155 (talk) 18:11, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bakley's daughter

Does Bakley's daughter live with Blake? There seems to be very little information out there. Does anyone know about contact arrangements between the child and the two sides of her family? Because she has three siblings from her mother's side, but since they went to civil court and gained a verdict of guilty against the little one's father to do with their mother's murder, I'm wondering what the situation is there. Some information on this would certainly have a place in the Bakley and Blake articles if it could be backed up. Sky83 (talk) 13:08, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article: Robert Blake's Daughter Wins Custody [highbeam.com] has the lead to a 26 July 2002 AP story which states "Robert Blake's daughter won custody Thursday of the 2-year-old girl the actor fathered with the woman he is accused of killing. Superior Court Commissioner H. Ronald Hauptman granted Delinah Blake permanent custody of her half-sister, Rose. She won temporary custody in May." This would seem appropriate for this article, although a more recent reference, indicating any more recent changes, would be desirable as well. 58.147.52.66 (talk) 04:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Is it possible to get a Wikipedia-friendly image of Blake as an adult here? The current image is of him as a child, which is ridiculous since Blake is better known for his work as an adult. Rebochan (talk) 22:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WWII movies

Didn't Robert Blake appear in a WWII movie where he was on a Pacific Island, and there was an aerial assault by the Japanese? I was certain I had seen him in one of those, unless it was a look-alike pretending to be him.

Has there ever been a Robert Blake look-alike in any movies, like there have been for Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis? 216.99.198.122 (talk) 08:22, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blake's mother

Is Robert Blake mother, Elizabeth Cafone is still living and 99 year old? Or just missing the date of her death? Is someone have any information about that, or his mother will celebrate hers 100 birthday? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.226.234.183 (talk) 14:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is anybody read this???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.226.234.183 (talk) 16:18, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Blake, not his mother. If she were notable in her own right, she could have an article. Frank | talk 16:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just write about this, because there is the name of his family members (father, mother, brother, sister) and all of them have a birth and death date, except his mother, who only have birth date. I just interesting about is his mother is still alive, or just missing the date of her death? Because someone who born in 1910 can be alive, but that is not usually. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.226.234.183 (talk) 01:27, 10 November 2009 (UTC) Is she living or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.226.234.183 (talk) 01:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
