    I worked with Telly in London in the sixties, making an album which, unfortunately, never saw the light of day. We became friends and hung around together quite a bit. He came to dinner at our house with Sally Adams and spent some time in our local pub, much to the amazement of the locals. He was a cultured and very warm person and a joy to be around.

    It is so wonderful to stumble upon this link. My mother and Telly were first cousins. Thea Christina and Thea Millie were sisters to my mom's father Panagioti Kapsalis. That was Telly's mother maiden name - from Anogeia - a small lovely village close to Saprta. I remember both my great aunts coming to Toronto every year brining us clothes and gifts - we were so poor. They loved my mom very much. I have photos of Aunt Christina, Aunt Millie and thea Christina's daughter in many weddings of families. So we are family! Thank you so very much for this. Elena from Toronto

    One of the best grittiest series ever kojak was. No CGI and no tricks. Theo, crocker, stavros, sapperstein, rizzo and frank his captain they made kojak pure class. It was filmed on the streets and came through as almost believable how real they made it. R.I.P telly and who loves ya baby, wee always will.

    When I was a girl, Kojak was my first crush. After watching this show, I realized that Telly looks & mannerisms were very much like my own father, who died a few years before Kojak started. I'd always found older men much more interesting than guys my age. My father was 53 when I was born, & died at 60. Now I get why my first crush at 10 years old was on a man in his fifties. Now I'm going to go look for Kojak reruns here on TH-cam.

    Here is a true story about Telly Savalas. He was filming Kojak in NYC near the city automobile impound lot. During a break he wandered over there and found a young woman crying because her car had been towed and she didn't have the money to pay to get it out. Telly not only paid her fine, he paid everyone's fine that was waiting there. I love Telly Savalas. Loved him in every movie or performance I have ever seen him in. Especially Dirty Dozen. I was in England in 1975 and people there were crazy about him. Posters of him everywhere. Well deserved. He was terrific.

    Saw him during his Kojak years while taking one of the movie studios tour. I was about 10 years old and as the tour guide is talking about something or other he came out of a little bungalow type building. I went nuts "there's Kojak!" and he climbed into his car I went running to his car and a lady also on the tour was right behind me screaming "let me take your picture!" The car stopped and the window went down and he removed his sucker from his mouth and said what else...."who loves ya baby?". My mom was so embarrassed she wanted to leave the tour. That's about the only thing I talked about for about the next year. I thought Kojak was just about the coolest guy on the planet.

    I loved Telly Savalas and loved watching Kojak every week as a kid back in the 70s. Then in 1980 I went to the Bob Hope Golf Classic especially to see Telly and Clint Eastwood. Eastwood didn't show up but Telly did. He got out of the limousine and automatically signed autographs and I said to him "Who loves ya baby" and he pointed at me. Later on I had my picture taken with him..."Sure kid" he said when I asked. He was awesome.

I attended both funerals and the gatherings afterwards held at the Sheraton Universal. Upon returning from the funeral for Telly, I pulled up behind a parked vehicle and the Oregon license plate on the VW Bus read KOJAK! Many, many circumstances played into that moment being possible! He was a gentle giant! I miss him 🥺❤️🫂🙏

He was very handsome and sexy and just cool and he knew how to make women feel great about themselves because he really loved and cherish women .

    Interesting guy! I still remember his Player's Club commercials and when he hosted a TV special on the _Titanic_ . Long after his death, I was surprised to learn about he was haunted by a ghost in real life.

      And check out Horror Express .
      It was a fairly low budget Hammer type horror movie .
      Telly really chewed up the scenery ! Playing a Cossack ...again !
      A Cossack with a strong similarity
      to Kojak I have to admit.

    Telly Savalas the great actor playing Theodore Kojak the only American gentelman detective my favorite cop show ever. The charisma of Kojak is enormous. Telly is a character greater then live, there are no actors in his league anymore. His brother Gearge Savalas playing Stavros was also a very likable and able actor. Really enjoyed this insight in Telly his private life, the man sure was a good family man. Dear Telly an George may you both rest in the peace of our dear lord. Thank you both for so many entertaining hours of Kojak. Henry Hendriks from the beautiful town of Arnhem in the Netherlands.

    The truckers CB code had a "Kojack with a Kodak" meaning a highway patrolman with a radar gun.A "Kojack" meant also highway patrolman because of his helmet as being bald as Kojack in the television series.

    Telly Savalas also had a keen sense of humor. His guest appearance on the Carol Burnett Show in a skit with Harvey Korman was truly hilarious. He even lampooned his Kojak character.

    I was never a fan of Telly Savalas but couldn't help admire his confidence. It took guts to try to make it in 1960s Hollywood as a balding man. Most guys go into a depression with that problem

      He was losing his hair, so he shaved his head; Yul Brynner did the same thing, both men sexy & charismatic, although I’m not fond of baldness - lol

      @@jolenaagapisou3803 actually he was asked to shave his head for the role of Pontious Pilate so he did. Afterwards though he still liked the look and left it.

    It's a shame that we're a generation removed from his peak years. I have said that he would have been the perfect Lex Luthor.
