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!

PATRICK McGOOHAN R.I.P.
For those of you who have seen The Prisoner or The Secret Agent no other explanation is necessary. He will be missed.
For those of you who only know him from Bravehear as the ruthless King Longshanks, go to AMC's site and watch a few episodes of the brilliant and bizarre The Prisoner, a show he not only starred in but helped to create. I'm not ashamed to say that I have no idea what his final episode is trying to say.
His annunciation was to die for (see his villian in Silver Streak) and he always brought a bit of macabre class to the episodes of Columbo that he appeared in.
Here's a taste:
