Actor Robert Blake, whose long career was overshadowed by accusations that he murdered his wife, has died. He was 89.
With a career beginning in the late 1930s, he acted in classic film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and as the murderer Perry Smith in a 1967 adaptation of Truman Capote's novel In Cold Blood. Mr Blake's wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, was alone in the actor's car in the Studio City neighbourhood of Los Angeles when she was shot.
Four years after her death, including a year of Mr Blake awaiting trial in jail, a jury in LA found him not guilty of her murder.
