The Resume

    (September 18, 1933-March 9, 2023)
    Born in Nutley, New Jersey
    Birth Name is Michael James Vijencio Gubitosi
    Child actor in 'Our Gang' series
    Star of the highly successful 'Baretta'
    Appeared in 'Hell Town,' 'Town Without Pity,' 'Pork Chop Hill' and 'In Cold Blood'

Why he might be annoying:

    He always seems to have a chip on his shoulder.
    He was a fatalist and said: 'Every time you think you got it made, old Mother Nature kicks you in the scrotum' (sounds like someone is not taking responsibility for themselves).
    He was bitter about his family supposedly mistreating him when he was a child star.
    He is known as a perfectionist and will not tolerate less from his co-workers.
    He had problems with illegal drugs.
    He had a child, Rose Lenore Sophia Blake, out of wedlock (June 2000).
    He eventually married the child's mom, Bonnie Lee Bakley (November 15, 2000).
    He lost his temper, when Bonnie promised to abort the baby, told him she would, then gave birth and wanted Robert to pay for everything.
    Bonnie was a con artist who had received many death threats.
    He carried a gun to protect her, but somehow dropped it in the restaurant where they were eating.
    He went to retrieve his gun, but when he returned Bonnie was shot dead (May 4, 2001).
    Surprise, Suprise: nearly a year later, he was arrested for her murder (April 18, 2002).
    He got on Barbra Streisand's nerves and she passed on him as her husband in 'Funny Lady.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served in the U.S. military (1954-56).
    His eccentric behavior earned him many appearances on Johnny Carson's 'Tonight Show.'
    He is left handed.
    He was found not guilty of the murder of Bonnie Lee Bakley (March 16, 2005).
