Dick Kallman, an actor in movies and television in the late 50s and
60s, left Hollywood and began doing stage work. He toured in companies
of "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" and "Half a
Sixpence". He was also an accomplished singer who in 1963 recorded an
album of standards for EMI in London, when he was accompanied by
orchestras conducted by John Barry and Ennio Morricone. In 1975, he joined a
partnership to manufacture women's play clothes and party clothes and
also began working as a dealer in antiques, silver, and art. On
February 22, 1980, Kallman and business associate Steven Szladek of
Brooklyn were found shot to death in Kallman's posh Manhattan
apartment. 27-year-old Charles Lonnie Grosso of Queens was convicted of
the killings, which took place during a robbery, and sentenced to 25
years to life in prison. None of the paintings, jewelry, and antiques
stolen from the apartment were ever recovered.
