Telly Savalas was known as the hard-knock detective Kojak, in the series, and he also had a number one hit, believe it or not, called "If", on the billboard charts. He died waiting for his 60th birthday party. He knew he had prostate cancer, but in 1975, two days after he had showed up for his 60th birthday party, that's when he passed away.
