Robert Blake Signed Photo. An 8  x 10  portrait
<B>Robert Blake Signed Photo to Buckwheat.</B></I> An 8" x 10" portrait of Robert Blake during his 1939-1944 <I>Our Gang</B></I> era, when he played "Mickey." Originally Blake used his birth name of Michael Gubitosi (or "Mickey" Gubitosi), later changing it professionally to Bobby Blake. In slightly-scrawled handwriting, Blake writes "Your pal Mickey," and had presented the still to <I>Our Gang</B></I> co-star Buckwheat. There are some chips in the borders and a few minor creases and tiny blemishes - overall Very Fine + condition. It is fascinating to look at all this childhood innocence and ponder Blake's performance as the killer of <I>In Cold Blood,</B></I> his Emmy award winning <I>Baretta</B></I> and his 2005 acquittal of charges of having murdered his wife. <I>From the William "Buckwheat" Thomas Jr. Estate.</B></I> <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
