RICARDO MONTALBAN R.I.P.

Khan! While he's best known for his iconic villian in Star Trek: Wrath Of Khan (still the best of the Trek films) and the amiable wish-granter Mr. Roarke in Fantasy Island (not to mention his Cordoba commercials), Montalban masterfully played the latin lover in many a Hollywood studio film in the 30s and 40s. He was 88 when he died.

The man not only had a lush and sonorous voice, everything about him exuded class and sophistication. He was also a helluva dancer.

Check him out in this version of La Bamba. Just wonderful!
