Robert Blake Turns Into 121 Year Old Woman

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Robert Blake "aged 50 years" in the moments after his wife was murdered outside a Los Angeles restaurant, a waitress who served the couple testified on Wednesday in the "Baretta" star's murder trial... "He had aged 50 years in 10 to 15 minutes," she said. "Everything about him looked completely different. He was white as a sheet. He was out of breath. He looked like he was having a heart attack."

"And that's not all," testified Robyn Robichaux, the waitress at Vitello's restaurant where Blake and his creepy wife, Miss Bonny Lee Bakley, star of whatever, were served. "They were sitting in their favorite booth, the one over to the side of the fireplace, with the big portrait of The Rat Pack. Blake told me once that he used to hang with the rat pack, but I found out that was just a lie. Closest he ever came was drinking a couple Manhattans with Joey Bishop."

"I think it was their favorite booth because you could keep an eye on the door, see if any celebrities walked in. Course we didn't have many top notch celebrities at Vitello's. Max Baer used to come in a lot, and Carol Wayne, rest her soul. But nowadays, Gilbert Gottfried walks in, it's a big event. So the point is, yeah, he was a regular, and we let him have 'the Robert Blake Booth'.  His favorite thing was to come in and find someone else sitting in his booth. If Blake knew he was coming in on a given night, he would call ahead and encourage us to seat someone at his booth, and when he would walk in Vitello's, he would just scowl and stand there until the diners asked him what was wrong, and then he'd point to the little brass plaque with his name on it. The Maitre'd would come over and move the folks to another table while Blake smirked. He was a good tipper."

"Anyway, bottom line, he looked fine that night, real dapper. So then, twenty minutes after he leaves, he's back, and I don't even recognize the guy. Wow, has he packed on the years, I couldn't believe my eyes. And not only the age thing, but he's turned into a woman! I guess... I guess it's because you don't really see that many 121 year old men. At least not in this town."
