If you know who he is, you have probably heard that Ricardo Montalban passed away today at the age of 88.
Some of you are too young for this, but I used to see him on Fantasy Island every week. It always had some cool twists and turns that always turned out the best for the people seeking their fantasy on the remote isle.
My favorite role of his was his appearance as Khan in the Wrath of Khan, the second Star Trek movie. this is by far the best of the original Star trek movies, especially after the disappointment the Star Trek: The Motion Picture was.
And, I just saw that The Wrath of Khan movie was made 27 years ago. Montalban would have been about 62 when it came out, and was in great shape. Some people were shocked that he did not have a body double as he went around shirtless, as seen in the picture above.
In any case, I am sorry to see him go.
His wife, Georgiana Young, died in 2007, after 63 years of marriage.
