[@dominickeefe2454]

That was a nice interview. People even on TV used to be genuinely interested in the good things that had happened to each other and mutually respectful and affectionate without having to find an angle for attack or criticism. Wonder where that all went.

[@adamquiles2468]

I was born in '84 so obviously Savalis wasn't my time but I'm sure he was terrific and was adored by fans all over

Aristotelis "Telly" Savalas (griego: Αριστοτέλης Σαβάλας; 21 de enero de 1922 - 22 de enero de 1994), conocido profesionalmente como Telly Savalas, fue un actor y cantante estadounidense cuya carrera abarcó cuatro décadas. Conocido por su cabeza calva y su voz profunda y resonante, quizás sea más conocido por interpretar al teniente Theo Kojak en la serie de drama criminal Kojak (1973-1978) y al archivillano de James Bond, Ernst Stavro Blofeld en la película Al servicio secreto de Su Majestad (1969).

[@PersnicketyRed]

My father in law was a federal agent, and all of the women who worked for him, had it put in writing, that he could call them honey, baby, sweetheart, darling, etc…as much as he wanted. LOL (one woman complained, and the others rallied around him. 🩷)
