Farewell, Ricardo Montalban

Ricardo Montalban has gone off to the Fantasy Island called heaven at the age 88. Radar reports that he passed away from natural causes at his home called Casa Montalban in Los Angeles at 6:30am this morning.

Ricardo's wife of 63 years just passed away last year. Ricardo's son-in-law told Radar that he was with his daughter and nurses at the time of his death.

I will forever love Ricardo for giving me the gift of Khan in Star Trek II. Amazingly hot. Click here to see a picture of him in that. The Academy should give him an honorary award this year for that performance alone.

Rest in peace, Ricardo... Now you can be with Tattoo forever!

He was a beautiful-looking man, even in old age. RIP.

In the wake of Montalban's passing, Obama revealed today that he would immediately scrap all Abraham Lincoln references at his inauguration and instead would deliver a new theme of “Fantasy Inauguration”.

He was a good actor, and a very convincing (yet sexy) villain in The Wrath of Khan.

What a shame, I liked Fantasy Island as a kid. Although all I can remember is his greeting and of course "the plane, the plane". Charismatic actor.

What are you doing? Do some work.

Wrong thread, I know, but R.I.P. Patrick McGoohan. I think that "Danger Man" was known in the States as "Secret Agent Man". I might be wrong.

He created "The Prisoner" (what a great show that was) because he was tired of doing "Danger Man".

He was married to his wife for 57 years. Paul Newman, Ricardo Montalbaln and Patrick McGoohan. Long marriages for guys who could have kept trading in for younger women. I salute you all.

F this. I'm sorry for Ricardo, he was great.

But did you know The Prisoner ("Number 6") hottie Patrick McGoohan died today?! Surely that's even bigger news.

No I didn't see that. Loved The Prisoner.
Whose number 1? Farewll Patrick.

And Ricardo, I never would have known what "soft Corinthian leather" was without you. RIP

Nooooooooooo...he was so classy and forever good-looking. And I could listen to that accent forever! Hoping there is an afterlife, at least he may be reunited with his wife now.

I'll shed a tear for him every time I see fine Corinthian leather now...

RIP

Ricardo Montalban could have given lessons on hotness. All we get these days are the pouty looking girly men. I will miss you, Khan Noonien Singh.

RIP, Ricardo

Okay I am officially bummed out for the balance of the day. Ricardo was a hot piece in his day. I was watching some old movie with him and Esther Williams in it and shit he was the bomb! RIP man, you had a great long life, enjoy the rest.

ai! Hot Latin Mr. Ricardo Montalban, you will be missed.

Please Mr. Francis Ford Coppola, make a Godfather part 4 with Talia Shire as the Godfather and Kay finally with the program.

I just barely remember this show and The Love Boat. I don't remember any specific episode except that Charo was always on Fantasy Island for some weird reason shaking her goods.

The beautiful John Forsythe turns 90 this month. Hopefully he's hanging in there. John and Ricardo always held a special place in my (ABC Network) heart.
P. S. Cesar Romero may have been a Latin lovah on the screen, but IRL was with other men - doh!
