The world has lost the last surviving original cast member of a popular crime drama, who starred in the iconic show throughout its five-season run.<\/p>\n

\n

His death was confirmed on December 10 by his publicist, Rachel Harris. Cole\u00a0died peacefully<\/a>\u00a0at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center, surrounded by loved ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A statement released by Cole\u2019s representative highlighted the actor\u2019s enduring impact on the entertainment industry and his contributions to social discourse through his work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cCole\u2019s talent, combined with his magnetic presence, made him a defining figure of the era,\u201d the statement\u00a0read.<\/a> \u201cThe Mod Squad,\u201d which aired during a time of cultural change, addressed themes of racial and social justice. Cole\u2019s portrayal of Pete brought authenticity and heart to the series, earning him widespread acclaim and making him a household name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Beyond his career, the statement praised Cole\u2019s personal attributes. \u201cMichael Cole will be remembered for his warm and generous spirit,\u201d it\u00a0said.<\/a> Known for his charm, wit, and compassion, Cole\u2019s presence brought joy to those around him. Whether sharing Hollywood anecdotes or dispensing wisdom, he had a gift for making others feel valued and appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fans and friends mourned his loss, sharing tributes online. In a heartfelt Facebook post on Margie Paxton-Fromm\u2019s page, Stephanie Whitehead\u00a0shared,<\/a> \u201cIT IS WITH A TOTALLY BROKEN HEART THAT I MUST CONFIRM THE DEATH OF OUR DEAREST MICHAEL. ACTOR, AUTHOR, ADORED HUSBAND, FATHER, AND FRIEND\u2026 HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The tribute\u00a0went on to celebrate<\/a> Cole\u2019s enduring connection with his fans and followers. \u201cHE BORE A STRONG LOVE FOR ALL HIS FANS, WHOM HE PREFERRED TO CALL HIS FRIENDS. NO SERVICES HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED AT THIS TIME.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whitehead also\u00a0noted<\/a> Cole\u2019s deep bond with his loved ones and the community of admirers who cherished him. \u201cHE IS SURVIVED BY HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE, SHELLEY, HIS THREE CHILDREN AND HIS GRANDCHILDREN, HIS TWO DEVOTED SISTERS AND OVER A THOUSAND MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP WHO LOVED HIM FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY. HE LOVED THEM AS MUCH AS THEY LOVED HIM. REST PEACEFULLY, OUR BELOVED IRISHMAN!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Don Foster, a former senior editor at LUMINESS, reflected on his interactions with Cole in a heartfelt Facebook post. \u201cOur Old Pal, Michael Cole passed away this morning. He made it to 84 and was doing great. He died from a sudden illness,\u201d Foster\u00a0shared.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou might remember him from the 70\u2019s cop show \u2018The Mod Squad.\u2019 Michael and his wife Shelley were our Pet Shop customers and we became friends. We\u2019ll miss his easy-going, and sweet personality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another tribute came from Vicki Abelson, a columnist for Upworthy, who reminisced about her admiration for Cole as a teenager and their eventual friendship. Abelson\u00a0revealed<\/a> in a touching post, \u201cWhen I was a teenager, I wanted to be Peggy Lipton\u2026 and I wanted Michael Cole to be my boyfriend. I crushed hard. Fortyish years later Michael came to my living room \u2013 twice \u2013 with his gorgeous wife Shelley.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Abelson recounted the emotional and unforgettable moments she shared with Cole during two interviews for her shows, \u201cWomen Who Write\u201d and \u201cThe Road Taken\u201d (aka \u201cGame Changers\u201d). She\u00a0recalled,<\/a>\u00a0\u201c[We] talked for hours \u2013 we laughed, we cried. It was one of the most emotional shows I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Their bond extended beyond the interviews, as Cole frequently called to check on Abelson, expressing concern about her well-being and personal life. \u201cHe and Shelley were inseparable. Their adoration for each other \u2013 their mutual respect, their affection \u2013 they had what I wanted,\u201d she\u00a0added.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite their close connection, Abelson admitted that their communication ceased suddenly, leaving her to wonder if Cole was unwell. \u201cMaybe he\u2019d taken ill\u2026 I\u2019ll never know,\u201d she\u00a0lamented.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In her tribute, she expressed profound gratitude for having shared those cherished moments with Cole and highlighted the enduring impact of his kindness. She\u00a0concluded her post<\/a> on a poignant note, \u201c[Fly] in coolness, dear man. You are sorely missed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cole\u2019s legacy as an actor and cultural icon was cemented by his role in the\u00a0groundbreaking TV series<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThe Mod Squad.\u201d Running from 1968 to 1973, the show followed a trio of reformed juvenile delinquents \u2014 Pete (Cole), Linc Hayes (Clarence Williams III), and Julie Barnes (Peggy Lipton) \u2014 as they worked as undercover cops under the guidance of Captain Adam Greer (Tige Andrews).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The series, created by former LAPD undercover narcotics officer Buddy Ruskin, stood out for its focus on addressing social issues rarely explored on television at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cole\u2019s portrayal of Pete embodied the rebellious spirit of the 1960s counterculture. Personally chosen by executive producer Aaron Spelling, Cole initially hesitated to take on the role, wary of portraying a character who turned on troubled peers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, after reading the scripts, he embraced the part, bringing authenticity and depth to the character. His work on \u201cThe Mod Squad\u201d catapulted him to stardom, making him a household name during the show\u2019s five-season run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cole\u2019s\u00a0journey to fame<\/a>\u00a0was marked by significant challenges. Born on July 3, 1940, in Madison, Wisconsin, he never knew his biological father and spent his early years living with his grandmother.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By the age of 12, he began drinking, and his struggles with substance abuse would persist into adulthood. As a teenager, he dropped out of school, ran away from home, and lived on the streets of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a 2018 interview, Cole\u00a0recalled<\/a>\u00a0his troubled childhood, \u201cI was put in jail. I was like 15 or 14 or something like that. I passed out in the gutter\u2026 Everything went black.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fortunately, his life took a turn when he met Estelle Harman, a renowned acting coach who saw potential in him. She provided free lessons and even allowed him to sleep on the stage of her workshop. This opportunity paved the way for his entry into acting, and in 1966, Cole made his big-screen debut in the sci-fi film \u201cThe Bubble.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He later appeared in the western action film \u201cChuka\u201d (1967) before landing his career-defining role on \u201cThe Mod Squad\u201d in 1968. Despite the success and popularity that followed, Cole faced personal struggles, including insecurities and a battle with addiction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By 1994, with the support of his second wife, he sought help at the Betty Ford Center and overcame his addiction. In his autobiography, \u201cI Played the White Guy,\u201d Cole candidly shared his experiences with substance abuse, his Hollywood career, and his personal growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In addition to his iconic role in \u201cThe Mod Squad,\u201d Cole appeared in various TV shows, including \u201cGet Christie Love!,\u201d \u201cMurder, She Wrote,\u201d and \u201cGeneral Hospital.\u201d He also played a memorable villain in Stephen King\u2019s miniseries \u201cIt\u201d (1990).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Michael Cole\u2019s legacy as an artist and his dedication to his craft leave an indelible mark on both Hollywood and those who knew him personally. While his absence is deeply felt, his contributions to the arts and his enduring kindness ensure his memory will continue to inspire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
