Jailed actor Robert Blake is to talk to the American public - at last. The Baretta star, who was arrested and jailed for the suspected murder of his wife Bonny Lee Bakley last April, has been going against his attorneys' wishes and trying to set up TV interviews with top broadcasters. His efforts to secure a TV chat with newscaster Diane Sawyer last year, which cost him the services of defense lawyer Harland Braun, were scuttled when the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department declared the interview would be a travesty. But, now the authorities have agreed to Blake's wishes, and top broadcaster Barbara Walters will visit the jailbird on Monday, where she will record an interview with him, which will be broadcast at a later date on her news magazine show 20/20. Meanwhile, friends of Blake say the actor is annoyed after hearing record producer Phil Spector was allowed to post bail after he was arrested and charged with the murder of actress Lana Clarkson earlier this month. Blake has not been allowed to post bail and walk free, despite many attempts.
