Ricardo Montalban has died. He was 88 years old. Born in Mexico City, Montalban enjoyed a long acting career. He appeared in the original Star Trek television show as the villain Khan Noonien Singh. He then later appeared as the same character in the motion picture Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It’s my favorite of all the Star Trek movies and mostly it’s because of him.
He also appeared on the ABC TV series Fantasy Island as Mr. Roarke. The show ran from 1978 to 1984. The show made being home at 10:00 p.m on a Saturday night lots of fun.
He was also the spokesman for the Chrysler Cordoba. The man could say soft Corinthian leather like no other.
He was married to the same woman, actress Georgiana Young, for 63 years. She passed away in 2007.
Ricardo Montalban was a good man.
