I was fortunate to live in Greece when my husband was in the air force. We loved it there. The Greek people are so nice and friendly. I have many happy memories of our time there.
Thank you so much for this. I am honored to say that Telly was first cousins with my mom. The artistic gene started with Telly's maternal grandfather - a Greek Clarinet musician who came to New York in 1904. He left behind in Greece his wife and three children - Aunt Millie, Aunt Christina (Telly's mom) and my grandfather who was also a clarinet musician. My great aunt Christina was a poet, painter of murals and sculptress. In the video his brother Teddy was a gifted artist musician himself. Always his pride to be of Greek blood and a New Yorker. Thank you so much.
You know there have been other famous people of Greek extraction in the entertainment Industry. George Chakiris, Melina Mercouri, Iren Papas, Nana Mouskouri,....yet none have given the Greek people the pride and joy of their ethnicity, as Telly Savalas did. He really was Greece's greatest delight and admiration, and they loved and adored him. Telly was indeed 100 percent fully American, but he was 200 percent Greek to his core. He was proud of his heritage. Educated Greeks are, they know the Glory and the marvel that was ancient Greece, and what that country gave the world. I'm afraid many young modern Greeks today do not have that pride in their heritage and that is a great shame. You are fortunate to have been related to such an intelligent man, such a talented man, and such a lovely human being as Telly was. He had no ego in spite of his huge success, he was a humble, funny, and sweet man, and I might add a man that was extremely well informed on many many topics. Thank you so much for your comment.
He was so good in front of a camera. He was always convincing no matter what role he was portraying; convincing and sincere. What a presence! I love coming to YT and finding videos like this one. Thank you for sharing. Memory eternal to Mr Telly Savalas.
Fascinante el gran kojac no me.toco verlo en su esplendor pero soy su fan y feliz por conocer de este momento donde fue espontáneo la alegría y el entusiasmo diversión y gusto en una TV limpia sin morbosidad ni pornografia vulgaridad y mal gusto esto es valioso
Greek weddings are the most fun. My sister had a greek wedding-breaking plates, throwing money, dancing in a circle It was so fun and different from other weddings I have been too.
@dreamcatcherjulie1, I bet Telly was there in spirit, and he, too, alongside your dad, even in spirit, 🕊walked her down the aisle. And I can hear Telly say, "Ya love on each other, babies," The BEST marriage advice he must have given the then newlyweds.
Telly Savalas LEGEND

😍🥰. I may not be Greek but I know a fine ass man when I see one! Telly Savalas was one good looking hunk of a man!
That voice would melt my panties off.
Love to see people bring their heritage to the forefront. Everywhere Telly Savalas went, he took Greece with him. RIP #WhoLovesYouBaby
Telly was The Man
Some one like Telly Savalas - come around every 1,000 years.
Albo i dłużej 😅
That was beautiful, the one and only Telly Savalas
Telly was The Man.
The man was a King!

@stefanomazzucato3401, I think every police agency should have someone like Kojak on their police force.🕵♂️🚨🔎
Love watching this with Telly and his brother Teddy, it shows how much Telly enjoyed himself, I miss him a lot ❤️
...and...They say The Good die ...young...

This was an awesome video - THANK YOU. He died too damn young.
Telly (aka Kojak) was SO MUCH FUN. I feel balds 👨🏻🦲 do have more fun as they have no hair to worry about.
He was so good in front of a camera. He was always convincing no matter what role he was portraying; convincing and sincere. What a presence! I love coming to YT and finding videos like this one. Thank you for sharing. Memory eternal to Mr Telly Savalas.
