Life and career

Sorel was born Theodore Eliopoulos in 1936 in San Francisco, California, the son of Maria (née Piccoulas) and Vassily Eliopoulos, a candy maker.[1][2] He later adopted the professional name of Ted Sorel.[1] His family had originally immigrated to the United States from their village of Kyparissi, Laconia, in Greece.[1] Sorel would later renovate his grandfather's home in Kyparissi during his life. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.[1]

Sorel resided in Katonah, New York, for much of his acting career.[1] He died of complications of Lyme disease at the Lillian Booth Actors' Home in Englewood, New Jersey, on November 30, 2010, at the age of 74.[1]
