He didnt look 6ft to me. He was about 5ft 10 or a touch over. Savalas looked a bit sort in the dirty dozen but he could have got away with being 5ft 11.

I think he looked more near 5ft 10 inches. He was the same height as 5ft 8 or 9 charles bronson in the dirty dozen but could be taller.

I saw him at Ceasars Palace with a beautiful blonde on his arm in 1977. He was about my height at the time....5 foot 8 inches.

Yeah, he was really nice til I brought up the "creative book keeping" at Universal that cost James Garner millions. He covered up his son's (I guess) ears and called them mother somethings and other dirty words even Tommy Lasorda never heard of. He was the man with the plan.

Telly lived there. And I don't mean that as a joke. He actually lived there. I'd see him in the bar as well. Telly drove a $100,000+ Rolls Royce Corniche convertable and raely if ever put the top up. The result was the leather cracked and the inside was filthy. He didn't care.

Telly loves ya baby!

I went into the Sheraton Universal to take a @#$%. Telly was at the bar eating peanuts and had regular shoes with the biggest heels I've ever seen.

I saw Telly many times when he did Kojak and he was 5'10" without his height-increasing shoes. He usually wore boots with two inch heels and with a possible lift inside. When he wore them he was taller than me by at leat an inch and a half. Without them and with normal shoes he was an inch shorter than me. Take a look at him in the film Birdman of Alcatraz where he's considerably shorter than 6'1" Burt Lancaster and that should give you a good reference as o his true height.

I'd say just a shade under 5'11.

5'10.5" for Mr. Savallas.

You guys are all scammed. My aunt was in an elevator with Mr. Savalas and said that she was astonished at the disparity between his real height and her assumptions about his stature. She, too, thought he'd be 5'10''-5'11''. She said that he was far closer to 5'6'' or 5'7''.

i agree with the 5'11" listing.in "Kelly's heroes" he looks more than 4inches
shorter than 6'4"Sutherland and Eastwood.

Mr. R says on 19/Aug/05
When he did Kojak, he was listed as 5-10. I saw him in a 1950's film the other day with Burt Lancaster, and he seemed maybe a little taller than this.

Mr. Klaus says on 11/Jul/05
I agree with this height.
Lazenby was 10/11 cm taller than Savalas in OHMSS (1969)
