Robert Blake, TV’s Baretta Who Was Tried for Murder, Dies at 89

Carmel Dagan Actor Robert Blake, a man with a long and complex legacy, has died, according to the Associated Press. The former child actor was best known for his Emmy-winning role as the cockatoo-owning undercover cop in the popular 1970s TV series “Baretta” and, more infamously, for his trial following the 2001 murder of his wife. He was 89.As reported by the AP, Blake died from heart disease on Thursday at his home in Los Angeles. These two aspects of Blake’s legacy were inseparable in some ways, and the personal turmoil that made the latter at least circumstantially plausible (the case against Blake hinged on motive — he may have wanted to be free of his rocky marriage) fueled his acting.

It’s a sizzling comedy performance of a kook.”
