    72 years ago the actor Robert Blake was born. He appeared in he Greatest Story Ever Told. He has since been charged and put on trial accused of murdering his wife, what the result is I don't know.


    Arthur, he was found not guilty probably 3-4 months ago. I don't know any details about the case, just the fact he was not found guilty. And I think it added about 25 years to the way he looks, he didn't take the whole jail time/trial very well.

    15 years ago the actress Ina Balin died age 53 she appeared in the Comancheros and as Martha of Bethany in The Greatest Story Ever Told.


    Ok if 15 years ago she was 53 that would have made her roughly 24 years old when making The Comancheros. I always thought she was older then that. If you look at IMBD.com she was acting up till her death in 1989. Anybody have info on how/why she died?

    Doh!!! :headbonk: :lol: :lol:


    Thats what I was thinking!! errr maybe that was the problem, I was not thinking. Work has been killing me lately!!!

    93 years ago the actor and stunt man Lloyd Ford was born. he played Hank in Idol of the Crowds


    Speaking of that movie, I purchased a copy off from EBAY but it is barely watchable and I can hardly watch it. In fact, I have not watched the whole thing. It is, I believe, a dvd copy from a tape. Anybody know of a good quality version on DVD some place?

    Was he of Indian descent? Or was he like others back then who were made to look like a indian? I liked him in The Searchers.
