The curse of Our Gang

Blake and the 'Our Gang' curse: "The acquittal Wednesday of Nutley-born former actor Robert Blake in the murder of his wife ended a long series of twists and tragedies that have bitten members of the 'Our Gang' comedy cast through the years. Most, including Blake's 2000 arrest in connection with the murder of Bonnie Lee Bakley, occurred in California, where the series was filmed."
