Ricardo Montalban dies at 88

Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in
splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in
TV's "Fantasy Island," died Wednesday morning at his home, a city
councilman said. He was 88.
Montalban's death was announced at a meeting of the city council by
president Eric Garcetti, who represents the district where the actor
lived. Garcetti did not give a cause of death.
"The Ricardo Montalban Theatre in my Council District -- where the
next generations of performers participate in plays, musicals, and
concerts -- stands as a fitting tribute to this consummate
performer," Garcetti said later in a written statement.

To which I replied:
"KHAAAAN!"
And he said:
"Funny, where we went with that."
And I said:
"Yeah, funny."
I never saw Fantasy Island that I recall. I simply didn't watch TV then, really. But I do remember seeing Star Trek II at my uncle's house...funny, that.
