Robert Blake
It’s a hidden chamber of dark secrets now unlocked and bared in lost Robert Blake film footage obtained exclusively by “Extra.”
These long lost tapes come from a TV interview Blake gave back in 1968, while he was in Britain promoting his breakthrough movie, “In Cold Blood," Truman Capote's classic true story of two young drifters hanged for murdering a Kansas family of four in 1959.
The chilling words from Blake’s distant past have now come back to haunt him as he sits in a jail cell awaiting trial in the sensational Hollywood murder of wife Bonnie Bakley
In the interview, the brooding young actor appears to have become obsessed with his role as killer Perry Smith, to whom he bore a striking resemblance Blake tells interviewer Jonathan King of an affinity with death row killers he visited while researching the part. He says, “I just met people like you and me and like everybody else."
