RIP Ricardo Montalban

[Lady Nicolette]

I could have sworn I posted this earlier...

He really DID look mahvelous!

And had a splended nephew, David Lindley (largely unsung monster guitarist who started out with The Kaleidoscope, played with Jackson Browne forever and is a fabulous gypsy violinist).

I read this last night too.  I had the pleasure as a teenager and then later as an adult to spend many memories where much of Fantasy Island was filmed.  He truly was a fyne actor.  Blessings.

He was 62 years old when he was in The Wrath of Kahn- amazing. I just watched the pilot of Fantasy Island last night. Such a great voice. RIP Ricardo!

In several interviews and public speeches, Montalbán described "the five stages of the actor" as follows:

Who is Ricardo Montalbán?
Get me Ricardo Montalbán.
Get me a Ricardo Montalbán type.
Get me a young Ricardo Montalbán.
Who is Ricardo Montalbán?

And who can forget the 'soft Corinthian leather' of the Chrysler Cordoba?
