Television Success
For the duration of his career, Romero's most notable projects were his television appearances. He attained pop icon status with his portrayal of the maniacal Joker in the 1966 television series Batman. Starring Adam West in the title role, Batman became an overnight sensation, boasting an impressive cast that included Burt Ward, Julie Newmar, Roddy McDowall, and Vincent Price.
During the 1970s, Romero played the recurring role of Freddie Prinze's father on the NBC comedy series Chico and the Man. From 1985-88, his part as the patriarchal Peter Stavros on the primetime soap opera Falcon Crest introduced the seasoned Romero to a whole new generation of viewers.
With a body of work spanning more than seven decades and over a hundred film credits, Romero remained an active member in Hollywood's social scene throughout his career. Although he never married, the self-described "Latin from Manhattan" was romantically linked to a number of women. On January 1, 1994, Romero died of a blood clot. He was 86 years old.
