Donna and one of the Little Rascals

Donna Reed and Robert Blake

Robert Blake (September 18, 1933 - March 9, 2023).

Robert Blake was an American actor known for his starring roles in the film In Cold Blood (1967) and the U.S. television series Baretta (1975-1978). He began acting as a child, with a lead role in the final years of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Our Gang (Little Rascals) short film series (1939-1944).

He starred opposite Donna Reed and Dan Dailey in Mokey (1942) as an eight-year-old boy whose father (Dailey) gives him too little attention and whose stepmother (Reed) misunderstands him. His misdeeds are due to neglect and misunderstanding on the part of his elders.
