Related Topics: Bruce Lee, Hong Kong, Robert Baker

Dozens of letters attributed to Bruce Lee and his wife Linda have been recently uncovered, showing a different side to the martial arts legend and documenting what seems to be a little known affinity to various drugs.

As detailed in depth here on Bloody Elbow earlier, these mostly handwritten correspondence from the late 1960s to the early 1970s show letters signed by Lee and sent to his friend and “long rumored” dealer, Robert Baker. It discussed various topics from their early friendship trying the “holy stuff” and nights out with “little recollection of what had happened,” to the actor’s failed attempt at quitting, and to eventually planning international drug shipments to Hong Kong.
