    RIP. Only 1 Little Rascal left it appears — Sidney Kibrick a/k/a Woim, the sidekick of neighborhood bully Butch.

    My late Mom loved watching him on the Johnny Carson show. She found him quite unpretentious.

    He was great on the talk shows. Very interesting guy and a good actor. His life was not without controversy obviously.

    “Loneliness will kill you deader than a .357 Magnum.”—Off. John Wintergreen, 1973.

    He was brilliant in this brilliant slice-of-life film.

    Another great—if underappreciated picture—and with strong support from Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, and Susan Clark.

    Blake had a “Golden Era” between 67 and 74 where He starred in some excellent, quirky, off-beat films that are like no others, with T.T.W.B.I.H. being a highlight. Can’t believe He’s gone. R.I.P., Mickey Gubitosi.

    Highly recommend a picture from 72 titled CORKY in which He plays a Texan drag racer bombin’ ‘round in a Plymouth Barricuda.

    People often cite 'In Cold Blood' as Blake's best role but he was great in 'Electra Glide In Blue'.

    He was fantastic in In Cold Blood.

    He wasn't quite so fantastic in later years.

    RIP Robert Blake, sad news to read tonight. Enjoyed his work on film and television well over seven decades!

    Thank you Robert for all your creative, artistic gifts throughout your life from Our Gang era up until late 90's you where in so many memorable projects. Another gifted actor, too soon gone...
