Robert Blake at his preliminary hearing at the the Van Nuys Courthouse |
HOLLYWOOD - Actor Robert Blake has decided to play the role of 'grandpa' to his youngdaughter Rosie, who is currently being raised by his adult child Delana.
Delana took custody of Rosie while their father fought murder charges
levelled against him over the death of four-year-old Rosie's mother Bonny Lee
Bakley.
And now that he's been acquitted, Blake is allowing Delana to take on full
parental responsibilities for the child.
In an exclusive interview with American newswoman Barbara Walters, he says,
"Two months before I went (into jail), Delie was inundated. She had way too
much on her plate, and all of a sudden, into her life comes (her beau) Greg.
"Rosie is the joy of everyone's life. Greg is a great father. He loves Delie,
he love Rosie and I get to play grandpa. I get to take her fishing. Can you see
me at a PTA meeting or sitting with a teacher in the fourth grade discussing
her (work)? I talk to rocks and lizards and things. I don't know what to do
with all that kinda stuff.
"I see Rosie all the time. I was at her house, she's at my house. You gotta
understand, this is the blessing of the universe that Greg came in. He's a
great guy, he has his own life, he writes books, he publishes books, he does
everything that he's supposed to do.
"And that's the miracle of the ages that I don't have to be up at three
o'clock in the morning with the chicken pox."
