...opened the latest tawdry act in the current Los Angeles celebrity-murder scandal, involving tough-guy actor Blake, 68, and his wife Bonny Bakley, 44, an ex-model with a history of petty crime who was shot to death after dining with Blake at a Studio City restaurant last May. Blake told police at the time that after walking Bakley to his car, he returned to the restaurant to retrieve his legally held pistol, which had slipped out of his waistband. When he came back, he said, he found his wife had been shot. Blake is due to be arraigned...
...tabloid hoping to cash in on a rerun is likely to be disappointed. If the O.J. case was a feature film fit for the multiplex, this is a straight-to-video rental. True, there is seamy intrigue. Bakley was a confessed celebrity stalker who sent nude pictures of herself to lonely men to solicit money. But there is no racial component in the case.

"It was a situation where he had not intentionally created a child and felt an obligation toward his daughter." Blake had a prenuptial agreement drawn up saying Bakley should not get into any more trouble with the law, but it was never signed. Bakley lived in a guest house behind Blake's ramshackle home in Studio City, but even so she was rarely around. A nanny cared for her baby, Rose Lenore Sophia, who lived in Blake...
...Bakley's defenders are few and mostly kin (or lawyers they have hired). Her half brother Peter Carlyon of Memphis, Tenn., says that Bakley had phoned to say she was afraid of Blake and that if she ended up dead he would be to blame. But sympathy has emerged from the L.A.P.D. Responding to Braun's lurid tales, police spokesman Lieut. Horace Frank said, "It's kind of unfair. Here's a person who's been murdered, and now they start painting her as a bad person." He added, "The focus of the investigation is not on her past...
