Not surprisingly,
the former Baretta star has filed for bankruptcy. Robert Blake owes his wife's children $30 million, because,
a little over two months ago, a civil court jury found he "intentionally caused" her death. However, he was
acquitted of killing his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, by a criminal jury in March.In his bankruptcy filing, Blake lists his debts as the $30 million judgment, $1.3 million in federal taxes, and $300,000 in state taxes. Last year, he paid his attorney $250,000 in legal fees- a price tag the attorney says he put a cap on. Blake's only assets are $100,000 and $500,000. He's currently sharing an apartment in San Fernando Valley with his publicist. One of his adult daughters has adopted the 5-year-old daughter he had with Bakley.

Robert Blake, we called him "Gub" for Gubitosi, and I were in the Army (soldier showes devision)together in 1953/54 at Fort Richardson, Alaska. I was about a year ahead of him. He took over my job upon my discharge. We have been in contact over the years but have lost contact and would like to do so again. Can you provide any help.

I am glad to hear the 5 year old has been adopted by the "family", well done that daughter who did the deed.
