So sad!
The esteemed Mexico-born actor died today at the age of 88.
He was best known for his role as Mr. Roarke in Fantasy Island and for playing Khan in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Mr. Montalban received the Screen Actors Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994 and an Emmy for a 1978 miniseries.

My boyfriend will be so sad. He loved to say his name all day long after that taco bell commercial with the lions came out. “Carrrrrrrne asada…Ricardo Montalban??”

well, at least we won’t have to wonder what his casket will be lined with….fine corinthian leather, of course.

I’m waaaaaaaay older than most of you so I remember when he was very HOT! Also he was a wonderful, good man. He will be missed R.I.P.
I can remember laying on my stomach on our shag rug carpet, face in my hands, looking up at the TV when I was kid and just LOVING Fantasy Island. The babysitter would always let us stay up until it was over. Anyone remember the one where Ricardo fights the devil??
Hey, I learned to drive in 1976 in a Chrysler Cordoba with Corinthian Leather interior. That fact alone makes this man unforgettable.
Condolences to the family.
Patrick McGoohan has also died Beet. “Edward the Longshanks” from Braveheart.
Ricardo Montalban must have been a contender for Lady’s Man of the year at least a few times during his lifetime
