Robert(1960-2002)
Robert Steffey earned notoriety in 1989 from his role in _One Year in a Life of Crime Part (1989) (TV)_. The
documentary, produced by often-lauded New York filmmaker and video-
journalist Jon Alpert, followed a trio of career criminals, Rob, Mike
and Freddy. In gritty, cinema verite style, Alpert filmed every aspect
of the men's lives for 12 months, from their daily jaunts to the Jersey
suburbs to pull shoplifting gigs, to the sometimes wretched gloom of
their domestic lives. When the final package debuted on the cable
channel in 1989, it was nominated for several industry awards. Alpert
kept in contact with the men, and in 1998, HBO broadcast Part II of the
documentary, which dealt with the men trying to reform their lives. It
won Alpert his 11th Emmy award. He is survived by 2 daughter, Jaclyn
Steffey, and the other unknown. His daughter Jaclyn is now 22 years
old.
