Telly Savalas
Aristotelis "Telly" Savalas (January 21, 1922 – January 22, 1994) was a Greek American actor. Noted for his bald head and deep, resonant voice, he is perhaps best known for portraying Lt. Theo Kojak on the crime drama series Kojak (1973–1978) and James Bond archvillain Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). Savalas' other roles include Birdman of Alcatraz (1962), The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), Battle of the Bulge (1965), The Dirty Dozen (1967), Kelly's Heroes (1970), Horror Express (1972), Lisa and the Devil (1974), and Escape to Athena (1979). For Birdman of Alcatraz, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. As a singer, Savalas released a cover of the Bread song "If", which became a UK number-one single in 1975. The song also peaked at number 12 in Australia. In Canada, it reached #40 on the AC/Pop chart, and #88 on the rock chart.
