BADOLBILZ Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 For a second I thought it was Robert Wagner. Can't keep track of the old actors that were accused of killing their actress wives. 1 Quote

Steve O Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Big fan, being my doppelganger might have something to do with that. Spent the last 40 minutes watching his interview with Piers Morgan on youtube, really interesting and painful life, starting with his mother trying to self-abort him twice. Hop he can finally find peace. Quote
Saxum Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 I remember watching Baretta (1975–78) before I went off to college and loved his cockatoo Fred. It actually gets its own IMDB entry. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9228283/bio?ref_=nm_dyk_trv#trivia Quote The iconic Cockatoo from the television series Baretta starring Robert Blake, whose title character kept the bird in his shabby apartment. Lala was perhaps the most memorable aspect of the series. After Baretta ended, LaLa was retired to the San Diego Zoo, where he starred in live animal shows. In November, 1990, LaLa was stolen from a holding cage. He was found on a dirt road a mile away the next day, mussed up, but otherwise unharmed and returned to the zoo. It is also first show I remember seeing Dana Elcar in who became better known from MacGyver. Met him once with him taking a break from a show and he asked if I was looking for an autograph and I replied "No. I just wanted to tell you I appreciated your work." I was walking away he said in jest "Are you sure you do not want an autograph?" He must have got a lot of requests. Quote
