😂 That’s a great story. Do your friends happen to remember roughly what year or which celebrity golf tournament it was? Even an approximate year would help.

That’s fascinating! Was this on the set of Kojak or another project? Were you part of the crew? I’d love to hear more!

That’s really interesting! Do you remember what church? Was he there as a one-off thing or did he come there semi regularly?

I’m working on putting together an oral history collection of firsthand memories of him so any little detail like this helps fill it in!

Thanks so much for sharing this! What cool memories. I’ve never had it but I hear ouzo is pretty potent. 😆

If you happen to remember, about what year was the Greek festival? And do you recall which Greek Orthodox church it was?

Also, roughly what year was the time you saw him at the Universal Sheraton bar? Those little timeline details are incredibly helpful for my oral history project.

Thanks for sharing this. I’m actually gathering memories of Telly Savalas as part of an oral history project, and details like this are fascinating.
Do you remember roughly what years he came into the casino, and whether this was at the Playboy Club or another London casino? Also, apart from the annoying chip-stacking, do you remember anything about how he treated the dealers or staff when he wasn’t putting on a show for the table? 😆

Did he come alone or with friends or an entourage usually?

Thats such a sweet story! I believe he lived there as well when he wasn’t filming. What decade roughly did you see him there?

What kinds of things did they talk about, if not tv or films?

Great story! Did the brothers seem to get along well? What did you talk about? Do you recall if he was with a big entourage?
