Ricardo Montablan has died.

Re: Ricardo Montalban has passed on.

I just heard this on CNN. I believe he passed away at 6:30 am. Bless his heart, one of the greatest villains ever and a wonderful man! I will always say to nosy people, "I grow fatigued with your questions." Of course, in The Chicago Tribune story, there's no mention of his Star Trek work. What a, uh, surprise! -- RR

Very sad news. My condolences to his family, and to the millions who are his fans.
 
Re: Ricardo Montalban has passed on.

RIP

This guy, no matter what he did...acting or being interviewed or whatever...exuded pure class and charm.

Even when selling cars. I'll never forget his "reech coreentheeaan leather" line.

RIP. He was a class act.

On a personal irony note, I just watched TWOK last night.
 
Re: Ricardo Montalban has passed on.

Celebrity deaths seem to come in threes. The question is: who's next?

Patrick McGoohan.

Did he relate to Trek somehow?

Patrick McGoohan was originally supposed to play Ira Graves in TNG's "The Schizoid Man" (which is actually an episode title taken from McGoohan's "The Prisoner"). But this isn't exactly a significant relation, I guess.


Anyway... rest in peace, Ricardo Montalban. :(

That's funny, I saw it mentioned. :confused:

Just reread the story. It's been updated, it's longer and now mentions his villainous turns in ST, TWOK, and in one of the Naked Gun flicks. I jumped the gun a bit! In his honor, I changed my avatar to Montalban as Khan in TWOK. -- RR

Oh damn, the world lost a class act. RIP Mr. Montalban, you will be missed.
 
So sorry to hear that. Only last week, I saw an interview with him (don't know when it was made), and the charm and charisma that man had was still very impressive.
He will be missed.
RIP, Mr. Montalban.:(
