SHE WAS A GRIFTER OBSESSED WITH STARS
{{Oh, well! This explains everything and makes it all right to
shoot her?? Now keep in mind that Jerry Lee Lewis' nickname is "The
Killer" because of one of his own wives dying under very, very
strange circumstances in which he was a suspect but nothing was ever
proven. May have been the wife who was also his cousin and only
about 14 years old. I cannot remember that for sure as it has been
many, many years and this guy is older than dirt! Then Blake's
behavior when he went back inside the restaurant was
ultrasuspicious~~drank TWO glasses of water and did not mention
leaving anything! Appeared shaken and sweating. Then he goes back
outside and 'finds' her but instead of returning to the restaurant,
goes across the street for help. Odd to say the least. So while
she may not have been the nicest of persons, neither was the company
which she kept! Even the Brando kid has a homicide on his record.
I wonder how he is out so soon after being jailed only in 1991.
Being wealthy, I suppose. So there are three possible perpetrator.
I am going with the husband. Anybody else care to venture a guess?

SEX SCAMMER:
Leebonny Bakley financed her obsession with celebrities by selling
porn pictures of herself and running a phone-sex scam.
- Associated Press
May 8, 2001 -- ROBERT BLAKE'S slain wife was obsessed with
celebrities and would frequently break the law to support her
groupie lifestyle, friends say.
Leebonny Bakley, 44, who was shot dead Saturday night near a
California eatery, had a tainted track record that included stints
in jail, fraud charges and various scams.
Friends say all of her endeavors - including selling pornographic
pictures of herself through the mail, running a sex chat line and
phone-sex scams - allowed the starry-eyed New Jersey native to
pursue her fanatical devotion to the famous.
"She was a con artist, plain and simple, and a good one," said
Frankie Jean Lewis, sister of legendary rocker Jerry Lee Lewis, one
of Bakley's former lovers.
Her dream of marrying a star finally came true last November when
she married Blake after a DNA test revealed he was the father of her
child.
But Blake, a former child actor best known as TV's "Baretta," wasn't
the only star in Bakley's universe. The wannabe actress allegedly
had love affairs with Lewis, Dean Martin, Frankie Valli and
Christian Brando, among others, and even had a love child with
Lewis.
BAKLEY'S celebrity odyssey began after she moved out of her parent's
home in Morristown, N.J., and began pursuing a modeling and acting
career in New York. She told her family she was studying with acting
guru Lee Strasberg and that her two great ambitions in life were be
a famous actress and marry a movie star.
Instead, she married her first husband in New Jersey in the late
'70s, and they had two children - now in their 20s. While he stayed
home, she worked in real estate and was a groupie on the side.
As her marriage came apart, she moved to Memphis to be near to her
idol, Jerry Lee Lewis.
To penetrate the living legend's inner circle, she befriended
Frankie Jean Lewis and her sister Linda Gail Lewis.
"She was just like the groupies in 'Almost Famous,'" Linda Gail
recalled. "[Leebonny] loved the music and the men who made it. She
was definitely obsessed."
Frankie Jean Lewis said her hell-raising brother, who vomited when
he heard about Bakley's slaying, first met the pretty blonde in the
mid-1970s and continued seeing her even after she married Blake.
Linda Gail said Bakley was always cagey about how she supported
herself. Linda Gail said she was stunned - and horrified - when a
London tabloid claimed in 1991 that she and Bakley were peddling
porn to support themselves.
Linda Gail won a libel suit against the Daily Mirror, and, ever the
opportunist, Bakley asked for a share in the payout. But Linda Gail
said the problem was the part of the story pertaining to Bakley was
true.
"[Leebonny] was a nice person, but she did some unusual things,"
said Linda Gail, who recorded an album with Van Morrison last year.
"She also had an affair with my now ex-husband, who's an Elvis
impersonator."
Jerry Lee Lewis' wife, Carrie, detested the star-seeker who seduced
her husband, Frankie Jean revealed.
"Carrie hated her," Lewis said, adding that Carrie believed Bakley
used Demerol to get near Jerry Lee Lewis, who has a long history of
drug and alcohol problems.
Jerry Lee Lewis and Bakley have an 11-year-old daughter.
In 1989, Bakley was arrested for drug possession. At the time, she
told cops she was holding them for a celebrity, but she wouldn't
reveal who it was.
AFTER many years in Memphis and Arkansas, Bakley moved west and got
herself introduced to legendary crooner Dean Martin. Shortly before
he died, the Rat Pack partier introduced her to Marlon Brando's
troubled son, Christian.
In Christian, who was jailed for murdering his sister's lover in
1991, Bakley appeared to have finally met her soul mate.
She became pregnant during their affair.
"She was really hoping the baby was Christian's, but she made a
mistake and slept with Blake, and it turned out it was his," Lewis
explained.
"Christian Brando wanted to marry her because he loved [Leebonny].
Blake didn't love her, and she felt trapped."
Bakley trysted with Brando for two years, but after he discovered
her betrayal, he was "devastated" and broke off the relationship.
"It's . . . really bad, tragic," Brando told The Post yesterday of
his ex-girlfriend's slaying. "I don't have any answers. It broke my
heart. I couldn't believe it."
Brando said he hadn't spoken to Bakley in more than 18 months.
"She was a nice lady," he said. "She was kind to me, and we used to
have a lot of fun.
"It's just a tragic thing, and I just feel bad. I don't feel that
she had it coming like that."
In the end, Linda Gail believed Bakley's life was sad and pathetic.
"I don't think she had a lot of love in her," said Linda Gail.
"[Leebonny] wasn't a sentimental person.
"She didn't do drugs or drink much. Her addiction was celebrities.
She was addicted to hanging around the famous."
