RIP Robert Blake.

He's probably best remembered in the TV series Bareta. He started his acting career as a child in Our Gang.

Little known fact is that he appeared as the boy who sold Humphrey Bogart the lottery ticket in Treasure of Sierra Madre.

He made that cap work for him for sure. Hard to imagine it's the same guy as in "lost highway":

Here he is with a hat at least.

And another of Robert Blake wearing a Whoopie cap when he was still Mickey Gubitosi (from one of the Our Gang shorts he appeared in).

And here Blake was while on trial for killing his wife, & facing an attempted bribery charge for offering her ex husband a bribe as a character witness in his defense.

Don't think I posted these before...hard to photograph as they are framed (did not want to remove them). 1860's full plate tintypes......

For "Their Hats" I am showing most of my smallish collection of Children's hats from the 40's thru later 50's.....all are wool but quite well made and some are even sized.
