LOS ÁNGELES (AP)-Robert Blake, el artista ganador del premio Emmy que pasó de aclamación por su actuación a la notoriedad cuando fue juzgado y absuelto en el asesinato de su esposa, murió el jueves a los 89 años.

Una declaración emitida en nombre de su sobrina, Noreen Austin, dijo que Blake murió por enfermedad cardíaca, rodeada de familia en casa en Los Ángeles.

Blake, estrella del programa de televisión de la década de 1970, "Baretta", había esperado una vez un regreso, pero nunca se recuperó de la larga prueba que comenzó con la muerte a tiros de su esposa, Bonny Lee Bakley, afuera de un restaurante de estudio el 4 de mayo, 2001. La historia de su extraño matrimonio, el niño que produjo y su final violento fue una tragedia de Hollywood en la corte.

Una vez aclamado como entre los mejores actores de su generación, Blake se hizo mejor conocido como acusado en un juicio por asesinato en la vida real, una historia más extraña que cualquiera en la que actuó.

En una entrevista de 2002 con The Associated Press mientras fue encarcelado en espera de juicio, lamentó el cambio en su condición de sus fanáticos en todo el país: "Dolía porque Estados Unidos es la única familia que tuve".

Estaba convencido de que no había matado a su esposa y un jurado finalmente lo absolvió.Pero un jurado civil lo encontraría responsable de su muerte y le ordenaría que le pague a la familia de Bakley $ 30 millones, un juicio que lo envió en bancarrota.

Fue un final ignominioso para una vida vivida en el centro de atención desde la infancia.Cuando era joven, protagonizó las comedias de "Our Gang" y actuó en un clásico de películas, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre".Como adulto, fue elogiado por su interpretación del asesino de la vida real Perry Smith en la película de "In Cold Blood" de Truman Capote.

Su carrera alcanzó su punto máximo con la serie de policías de televisión de 1975-78, "Baretta".Protagonizó como un detective que llevaba una cacatúa de mascota en su hombro y le gustaba los disfraces.Era típico de su especialidad, retratando a los tipos duros con corazones suaves, y su línea de firma: "No hagas el crimen si no puedes hacer el tiempo", a menudo se cita.

Blake ganó un Emmy de 1975 por su interpretación de Tony Baretta, aunque detrás de escena el espectáculo fue atacado por disputas que involucraban a la estrella temperamental.Se ganó una reputación como uno de los mejores actores de Hollywood, pero uno de los más difíciles de trabajar.

En 1993, Blake ganó a otro Emmy como el personaje principal en "Judgment Day: The John List Story", que retrata a un hombre de voz suave y de voz suave que asesinó a su esposa y tres hijos.

Su saga personal fue tan dramática como cualquiera de los personajes que retrató y luego admitió tener sus propias luchas con el alcohol y la adicción a las drogas en sus primeros años de vida.

Nació Michael James Gubitosi el 18 de septiembre de 1933 en Nutley, Nueva Jersey.Su padre, un inmigrante italiano y su madre, una americana italiana, querían que sus tres hijos tuvieran éxito en el espectáculo.A los 2 años, Blake estaba actuando con un hermano y una hermana en un acto de vodevil familiar llamado "Los tres pequeños hillbillies".

Cuando sus padres trasladaron a la familia a Los Ángeles, su madre encontró trabajo para los niños como extras de películas y Little Mickey Gubitosi fue arrancado de la multitud por productores que lo arrojaron en las comedias de "nuestra pandilla".Apareció en la serie durante cinco años y cambió su nombre a Bobby Blake.

Luego trabajó con Hollywood Legends, interpretando al joven John Garfield en "Humoresque" en 1946 y el niño que vende a Humphrey Bogart un boleto de lotería crucial en "El tesoro de la Sierra Madre".

En la edad adulta, consiguió serios papeles de películas.El mayor avance fue en 1967 con "In Cold Blood".Más tarde hubo películas que incluyen "Diles Willie Boy Is aquí" y "Electra Glide in Blue".

En 1961, Blake y la actriz Sondra Kerr se casaron y tuvieron dos hijos, Noah y Delinah.Se divorciaron en 1983.

Su fatídica reunión con Bakley llegó en 1999 en un club de jazz donde fue a escapar de la soledad.

“Aquí estaba, de 67 o 68 años.Mi vida estaba en espera.Mi carrera se estancó ”, dijo en la entrevista AP."Había estado solo por mucho tiempo".

Dijo que no tenía ninguna razón para no gustarle a Bakley: “Ella me sacó de las gradas y me volvió a poner en la arena.Tenía algo por lo que vivir ".

Cuando Bakley dio a luz a una niña, llamó a Christian Brando, hijo de Marlon, como el padre.Pero las pruebas de ADN señalaron a Blake.

Blake vio por primera vez a la niña, llamada Rosie, cuando tenía dos meses y se convirtió en el foco de su vida.Se casó con Bakley por el niño.

“Rosie es mi sangre.Rosie me está llamando ”, dijo."No tengo dudas de que Rosie y yo vamos a caminar juntos hacia la puesta de sol".

Los fiscales afirmarían que planeaba matar a Bakley para obtener la custodia exclusiva del bebé e intentaron contratar a los éxitoes para el trabajo.Pero la evidencia fue confundida y un jurado rechazó esa teoría.

En su anoche vivo, Blake y su esposa de 44 años cenaron en un restaurante del vecindario, Vitello's.Afirmó que le dispararon cuando la dejó en el auto y regresó al restaurante para recuperar una pistola que inadvertidamente había dejado atrás.Inicialmente, la policía fue desconcertada y Blake no fue arrestado hasta un año después de que ocurrió el crimen.

Una vez que era un hombre rico, pasó millones en su defensa y terminó viviendo en el Seguro Social y una pensión en el gremio de un actor de pantalla.

En una entrevista de 2006 con el AP un año después de su absolución, Blake dijo que esperaba reiniciar su carrera.

"Me gustaría dar mi mejor desempeño", dijo."Me gustaría dejar un legado para Rosie sobre quién soy.Todavía no estoy listo para un perro y un poste de pesca.Me gustaría irme a la cama cada noche desesperada por despertar cada mañana y crear algo de magia ".
