Many years ago I encountered Savalas in a high-stakes Mayfair casino in London. He was sitting at a private table and was attempting to count cards using stacks of chips in front of him...I got barred but he was merrily occupied, oblivious to casino heat...
Funny. I sat at a table at third with his back to me at the next table sitting at first. He was on the phone the whole time.
