Ten times married (officially) and a mother of four, New Jersey born Bonnie Lee Bakley wanted to be famous but instead ended up being shot dead in the car of the In Cold Blood star Robert Blake outside a Studio City restaurant in 2001.This scammer once stated that “being around celebrities makes you feel better than other people” and falsely claimed that Marlon Brando’s son, Christian, was the father of her fourth child. In November 2005, after being acquitted of her murder in March 2005, Blake was found liable for Bakley’s death and ordered to pay $30 million to her children.

Where is Blake now?
