kimmek Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Are you sure Robert Blake was Spanky? I think he was on the show as Mikey or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 Very good observation Kim. I check with Google, and you were right. Robert Blade was Mikey. Spanky McFarland died of a heart attack at age 64. I fixed it on my post. Thanks Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
