Answer 3

Telly Savalas was an actor who has become known for his bald look (even though he's had hair when he was younger - much like Yul Brynner).

Many people know him from his signature role as Lieutenant Kojak.

Answer 4

I'll hazard a guess here and say that you're not a big reader, but if you do dabble in books every now and again, it would be a good idea to get into the habit of finding some sense of autonomy with it. I'm sure if you were to stop and think about it for a moment you'd realise that it's not practical to ask a question each and every time you come across something that you can't immediately recognise in a book. And if you're lost when it comes to Stephen King - a writer who's known for incorporating all sorts of pop culture into his work, one could only imagine how much difficulty you'd have with something more literary. 

Answer 5

LOL. Kojak. He was the star of Kojak which was very popular and perpetually on TV from the 70s to the 90s.

Answer 6

Telly Savalas was an actor known for his hairless head.

Answer 7
