I'd say it was sad, because at one point he was a legit good actor. But he also probably murdered his wife, so....
"Robert Blake, a controversial actor best known for his roles in the television series “Baretta” and the film “In Cold Blood,” is dead at 89.
The actor’s son, Noah Blake, confirmed his death Thursday to The Post. Blake’s family said he died of heart disease at home in LA.
Born Michael Gubitosi on Sept. 18, 1933, Blake’s six-decade Hollywood career was marred by accusations he killed his second wife, Bonny Lee Bakley.
On May 4, 2001, the 44-year-old Bakley was shot and killed while sitting in Blake’s car outside of a Studio City restaurant where the couple had just dined.
Blake, who maintained his innocence, was acquitted of Bakley’s murder in 2005.

Blake, who maintained his innocence, was acquitted of Bakley’s murder in 2005.
Eight months after his acquittal, in November 2005, a civil jury found Blake liable for Bakley’s death and ordered him to pay her family $30 million — which left him bankrupt. "

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time....
