Film on way about murder of Blake wife
A film about the murder of actor Robert Blake's wife Bonnie Lee Bakley is going into production and a search is on for actors to portray several real-life characters.
As well as Blake himself, others who will be portrayed in the film include Marlon Brando's son Christian, and rock star Jerry Lee Lewis.
Blake, who starred in the television series Baretta, is awaiting trial in February for the murder.
Producer Larry Thompson, who has bought the rights to the story from Bakley’s sister, tells Daily Variety that the film will be almost finished by then but the outcome of the trial could be added at the end.
