Dennis Cole in his 70s heyday

Blonde, good looking actor Dennis Cole was one of the 70s hottest TV land studs. Cole died last week at the age of 69. He was married to Charlie’s Angel star Jaclyn Smith for a few years. He was also known for having a hot temper and was in ticketed for domestic battery as recently as 2007.

A source says:

Let’s see - in the 1970’s he was basically banned from Paramount Studios because of his threats to actor/director Bill Bixby including his manager pulling a gun on Bixby.  Yes, there were founded allegations of his abuse of Jaclyn Smith. He was arrested for domestic battery of his then girlfriend shortly after the divorce. He was involved in a major fight with the late Chris Penn in Santa Monica in the mid 1990s that landed Dennis in the hospital. I’ve had friends run into him in Florida and they say nothing has changed. He’s drunk almost 24/7/365. More allegations of domestic abuse.

In recent years, he had moved to the Fort Lauderdale area, sold real estate, and remarried.  In 1991, his son Joe was killed in a botched robbery. Some say Cole never recovered.
