The movie In Cold Blood, he should've won a Oscar for it. Powerful performance!

Always loved Robert Blake and still believe in his innocence. I wish you weren't hidden away but it's understandable considering all the haters in the world today. Your talent is missed.

As a teenager I couldn't wait to watch Barretta! It's a terrible shame that in his older years he lost his mind.Thx Jerry.

Robert's mistake was ever getting involved with this woman. But, most of us make choices that are not good for our mental and physical health.

Gone but never forgotten. You were an amazing actor. May you finally Have peace. 🕊️👼🏻💐

I allways liked Robert Blake.His acting in the movie In Cold Blood was fantastic.Sorry for all his troubles

She was married 10 times! WOW! That speaks volumes

I'm glad he has someone in his life who genuinely cares for him , with all the tragedy he's endured he deserves some happiness.

The way you do your videos, without prejudice, is refreshing! Thanks so much for another fine job!

This story. would make a great movie. I have always been a fan of Robert Blake. Thank you for this interesting biography.

*One fine job , after another. Thanks Mr. Skinner. I look forward to your next project.*

I Jerry I'm glad you're still at it I know it takes a lot of time and work to do what you do and I'm here to tell you I appreciate what you do and you're one of the best at it Keith Kuhn

I love Jerry's voice very cool and relaxing a pleasure to hear and I grew up with his subject and always learn something new

Electra Glide in Blue, In Cold Blood. Two classics that I am proud to say are in my collection.

Had no idea he had such a hard life. People really should think about the damage they could do before becoming parents. Great video!

He was great on Baretta.

I never knew Robert Blake was a child star. Thanks for the video.

I hope he finally found the happiness we all deserve to experience in this life. It seems that he had a great deal of tolerance and understanding for people even when they were abusing or taking advantage of him.

As always a great video with great content. I loved Robert Blake and the series Baretta. I think he was a great actor. Too bad he had such a hard time in life. I really hope he is happy now.

Thanks Jerry for these biographies of the "Little Rascal." I didn't see a lot of these characters,but they certainly charmed me as a kid. This complete bio of Robert Blake is informative, compassionate and interesting. Thanks for producing it.

Robert Blake looks just like his Dad. I absolutely loved him on Barretta! One of my favorite shows growing up in the 70's. I really think he got a bum rap, getting mixed up with that lady Bonnie. I never believed he killed her at all, She was all over the place Jeez. I hope he has found peace and happiness.

Yes..a women like bonny will bring trouble every time. .

I never knew how this all went down. I'm so glad you explained it the way you did. Straight and to the point. Thank you...

I always thought Robert Blake was a terrific actor.

Another great documentary Jerry keep them coming.

Your videos are so touching and solemn. I find myself going over my difficult life and finding piece some how. Thank you

Another classic Jerry....l get busy and stressed out from time to time but hearing your voice calms me more than anything....you have a God given talent for delivering narrations.....I can’t wait until the next one......until then God Bless and I wish you nothing but the best.

Excellent video. I never believed he killed that woman. Her past should have been investigated for the source of the killer. I'm glad he is settled and happy.

Great one Jerry. I loved Baretta when I was a kid. I recall the purse snatching scene in the opening.

Most beautiful Narrator... 💙🕊💙 🇨🇦

Glad to see you still posting Jerry, always a pleasure when your name shows up in my newest subscriptions.

I saw him at the guitar shop a bunch of times around 2011ish in Sherman Oaks Cali. He’s friends with the owner and they play poker in the back. He plays guitar well. I lived by there and saw him around town before that but he spent a lot of time at the guitar shop. He seemed nice.

This was wonderful! Thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾

What a hard life, he´s had - and what a hard fighter he is. I´ve always refused to believe, that he actually killed Bonnie. He was framed.

My Grandfather , my Mom and Pop loved him , now it's my turn and I adore him .... I so fondly remember him on a episode of "One Step Beyond" (Gypsy) , he is so special 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Jerry Skinner! You are The Grand Master of making Biographies!!!

How Jerry could miss one of his BEST Performances in a movie "Electra glide in Blue" is beyond me.... Blake owes those kids NOTHING! Love that guy.

Thank you for your wonder videos. Luv the sound of your voice & the great reshearch work you put into your videos.

I love this guys voice reminds me of the Waltons .

Dearest Jerry, I agree wholehearted with Karen, "The way you do your videos, without prejudice, is refreshing!" I'm still a fan, sir. I think I started watching your road trip biographies (with your wife) about 10 years ago. Maybe more. One of my favorite videos is one you made counseling people on how to be a good private investigator. I love you and your family. God bless you all. Stay safe and well, honey. Hugs, Linda Lee

Very talented screen actor. Teaming up with the 'wrong' women is a critical error many men are guilty of. Sometimes a man is just better off with a dog.

Lifetime fan of Robert Blake and a fan of your channel from the first I video I watched. Informative, entertaining and all the subjects of your documentaries are treated with dignity. As a lifelong fan of too many of them to list here thank you.

I grew up watching Baretta, I absolutely love Robert Blake.

Great documentary Mr Jerry. Keep up the great work.

i hope he's happy & at peace with him self here is a man that worked since he was what 3 or4 yrs old supported his family and was being abused at the same time. what a life to have. peace love & much much happiness for the rest of your long life & beyond ROB

Don't marry a goldigger . 🤣

Watched and enjoy all your work Robert Blake and Jerry Skinner

Thank you so much for doing this I really appreciate it Robert Blake is truly a Hollywood icon and I cannot believe they hung him out to dry .... I hope one day I meet Robert and can tell him how much he has meant to me over the years. And how unfortunate it was for him to meet Bonnie Lee ...

Thank you sir. Be healthy be safe out there.

19 and 39. . best narrator of all time. Sounds like all my good friends i miss

You are and always will be loved and missed, Robert. You were such a good actor. I wish life for you had been much better and much happier.

Bunny was a freaking mess, and severe user of people. There were any number of her victims that were perfectly capable of offing her given the chance. The travesty of justice is that once exonerated, the police never re opened the case to find the real killer. They have no interest in doing so, as it proves they are incompetent in the first place. After the trial, Bobby did retract from a more social life, but did maintain a friendship with Shelly Winters, and attended gatherings at her home. More details about this can be learned on Jordan Lee’s youtube channel, Daze with Jordan the Lion. Shelly befriended the young Jordan soon after his arrival in LA, and gave him acting lessons and included him in her social gatherings at her home , including some where Bobby attended. Jordan tells the story of Bobby coming by such a party soon after his release, unsure if he would be welcome. Shelly welcomed him warmly.

Another wonderful video! I hope Robert Blake is living out his years in happiness and contentment. Thanks for posting this!

He remains one of my favorite actors! Hope he has found peace in his life!

Thanks Jerry another home run of information...

good coverage of one of my favorite actors...no one could play Perry Smith (In Cold Blood) better than Blake did!

Always well done videos Jerry. Thanks

Jerry, I still enjoy your documentaries. Your voice has that nice southern drawl. Keep the good work.

It's so sad he fell so low. Parents do such cruel things to their children sometimes. And their actions as adults are a direct result of that treatment. I'm sorry for both actually. Bunnie must have had a horrific childhood to become such a user. Did he do it? NO ONE KNOWS! No matter the opinions below~no one was there. No one witnessed the murder. So no one can condemn him. Thank you for this Jerry~as usual wonderfully done. Jenn 💖 in Canada 🍁

Wow I watched little rascals and watched him as an adult. When I read the name Robert Blake I said I use to watch him. I never knew until today he was a little rascal. I watched him on tv all this time. I was a little girl watching him and an adult watching him and didn't know it until today. Wow.

I was in a movie theater in about 1947 and Bobby Blake was in the movie as Little Beaver. He appeared after the movie to sell items associated with Little Beaver and he was dressed in costume and signed autographs. I never realized until much later that he was the actor Robert Blake.😋

This guy was gorgeous in his hey day. Better looking than any movie star to date and an awesome actor. Baretta was my all time fave show. I looked forward to that every Friday night.

Jerry, you are the BEST! You sound like an actor. I thoroughly enjoy all your docs.

Very informative. Not sure how you can maintain such a disengaged attitude/delivery, while giving the sordid details of some of these people.

I always learn so much watching your videos. Thank you Mr. Skinner. 💜

I loved in cold blood one of my all times favorite movie..he rocked that leather jacket and that shiny.black hair....love at first sight

I always liked his acting, and knew he had troubles, and problems. Followed the trials, but did not know what happened to him after. Again, great job. Thanks.👍🙂‼️

Thanks for the video

Thanks again Jerry, another good video you have done! I had forgot all about Mr Blake.

Thank you for your outstanding & lovingly made video. I really appreciate these details about Robert Blake.

Taught me empathy, honor and courage, as I believe what we witnessed in his acting, is the the true real man that he was and still is, thank you Robert.

Baretta was one of my favorite shows as a kid of the 70's!!

Thank you again, Jerry for another great story.

Jerry is a storyteller who can hold the rapt attention of any audience, young and old.

Good job. I recall all these tv shows and movies. It’s too bad that Woman entered his life.

Thanks a Jerry...another complete report of “just the facts”.

As Baretta, Blake would also always say, "... and you can take THAT to the bank!"

Wow. Incredible. Addiction goes down the generations in the most outrageous twisting turning ways. Thank you for such a good documentary. And thank you for you mature approach in not pushing who is bad right and wrong, and that is the mark of a true documentarian

Always good to see your videos, Jerry. I appreciate your efforts.

A reminder to be thankful for what you have and not sad over what you don't have. There may be those that have more, but they also, may have more problems than you.

Mr. Skinner I truly enjoy your videos, which are well presented, and your voice is warm and clear. Keep them coming. God bless!

In 1973, Robert Blake starred in a very good movie as a police office who rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I have this film which co-starred Billy Green Bush and Mitchell Ryan. The plot of this movie surrounds Blake's job as a cop who ties hippies to a murder in the Arizona desert. Check it out. And thanks, Jerry Skinner, for another well produced and hosted movie/TV personality. His tragic criminal and civil trials remind me of the O.J. murder case.

Mr.Jerry skinner, keep it coming. Very good job. Thank you. ;)

Electra Glide in Blue , what a performance ! What a life ! More talent than all of Broadway !

I've always been a fan of this man-I learned a lot from your documentary, though! I loved him as Baretta, but my favorite appearances of his was on Johnny Carson-he was one of the first people to publicly admit to anxiety, and I guess that just kind of captured my imagination, LoL! It runs in my family, extensively, and I guess I just found it charming, in a way. I hope he gets all he wants; he's certainly been "through it", hasn't he? I think it would be an interesting story of how he managed to graduate high school despite all those things being against him. That's amazing!

OMG, I remember the Robert Blake trial and that Bunny was a REAL CARD! Very beautifully put together, thanks Mr. Skinner!!!

Thanks again, Mr. Skinner! Quality stuff as always.

One of the best actors ever. I liked watching him on The Tonight Show in the 70s.

Finally I found a VERY nice channel that I really enjoy!!! Ur very stright with the facts and very unbiased about good or bad situations with these stars!!! I cant wait to see more of ur work sir!!!! GREAT WORK!!!!!

Jerry... thank you for sharing this wonderful video

Keep em coming Jerry, we check regularly for new vids on your channel. Great work.

Your videos are wonderful. Thank you.

Mr. Jerry Skinner you are in a groove getting better and better. I enjoy very much listening to your stories.

I think many people remember his murder trial and ,of course, "Barrett's".

Great video loved every minute of it thnx.

Another great video thank you so much

This is one of my favorites Jerry. I have always liked Robert Blake no matter what anyone says. For years I have argued that Robert was once Little Beaver in Red Ryder, but no one would believe me. I should know because I saw these Westerns when I was a little boy. I am the same age as Robert Blake. And on one of Dear Tom Snyder's interviews he had Robert as a guest and it was one of the most intelligent interviews I have ever heard by a star. It's hard to believe that this smart intelligent man could have gotten mixed-up with a wack job like he did. What an awful mistake that was. But we all make awful and terrible mistakes. Robert's TV Show "Barretta" was one of my favorite detective shows. Better than what is on TV today. If you read this Robert I understand some of the Hell you've gone thru because of the alcohol. I have been sober for 36 years but it took me many years to STAY STOPPED. I hope you have found some happiness now Bobby. God bless you. Bob "Ziggy" Anderson

Thank you. Your presentation made clear what occurred in his later life, events which had always come across as very garbled in the press accounts. I hope his life is as he and his wife enjoy it.

Thank you Jerry! Well done

Thanks once again Jerry! Another video well done
