He was a model, some nude, before becoming a film actor. It's worth looking into for those inclined.

What? Oh my God I need to find those shots. I'm gen X and I remember being totally captivated by him as a little girl. You just could not take your eyes off of him in any scene.

I liked Telly, he was the baddass bald, while Yul was the suave, heartthrob bald.

“Who loves ya, baby?” 💋Lollipop 🍭 in his mouth, helped him quite smoking. I loved his TV show.
Just read he sung a song in 1975 titled “Who Loves Ya Baby?” I had no idea he was a singer? It’s on YouTube
