Out of work and out of jail B-movie actor Rober Blake saw a lot to love in Bonny Lee Bakley. She was smart. She was charming. And, best of all, she put out on the first date.

Quoting Bake from his interview with per City News Service, in tribute of Bakley, whom he made his bride in 2000: "There aren't many women who will simply sleep with you and get on the bus, if you know what I mean"

Blake and Bakley's relationship began as a would-be one-night stand at a Los Angeles hotel in 1999. Later, their sacred union was shattered in May 2001 when she was shot to death in Blake's car, then parked outside the star's favored Italian restaurant in Studio City, California.

"I loved Bonny" Blake said, per the Associated Press, "and always prayed to God to get a little light in there."

According to reports, Blake described Bakley as "extremely intelligent," "resourceful," "cunning" and oh-so "charming."

"She could charm the eyes off a rattlesnake" Blake said by way of attempted compliment.

In earlier testimony Wednesday, Blake declared that his commitment to his rattlesnake charmer was real. Why, if she hadn't been plugged after they dined out that night back in 2001--and as fate would have it, Blake had brought a loaded gun (not the murder weapon) along on the date out of "security concerns" --Blake and Bakley were going to go the distance, he told jurors.

"There was a clear understanding that Rosie belonged to me and Bonny," Blake said, per the A.P. "She was ours, and we were going to raise her."

Oh, sure, Blake recounted Thursday, there were times when he and his beloved didn't see eye to eye. Like the time she proffered her teen-age daughter to him, and he declined. Or the time he wanted her to get an abortion, and she declined--even after he ponied up $250,000 in incentives.

On the stand, Blake explained, the whole abortion thing came from his belief that the "charming" and "intelligent" Bakley couldn't be much of a mother on account of she pimped her own children.

And yet... Blake couldn't let Bakley get out of his life. About five months after the birth of the baby Bakley wouldn't give up, Blake made the woman his wife.

When asked why he would marry the woman that he sometimes bashed, Blake responded: Why, Blake's attorney asked? Why marry her?

"When Rosie was 2 weeks old, I promised God," Blake said, according to the A.P. "Rosie had changed my life, and Bonny had given me Rosie. It would be my pleasure to give her a good life."

At present time, I suppose we are still waiting to see exactly what Blake's definition of "a good life" exactly means...
