One of the best villains ever.:up:

Don't forget "Da Plane! Da plane!" (Fantasy Island for those who don't know). Yes it's a shame,:oops: but we all have to go sometime!!:cry:
My Father died of a massive heart attack aged 53.:-?

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN!!! :cry:

Why did you leave us...:cry:

"Cordoba. The car for the man who know who he is!"

Been a fan of sorts since the '50s. He was much better than some give him credit for.

Rich Corinthian leather will never be describe the same way again... :cry:

Funny....how famous that line from a commerical was. Oddly enhough that's a misquote as Montalbán actually says that "soft Corinthian leather" is an available upholstery option for the 1976 Chrysler Cordoba.

Even more odd is there is no such thing as Corinthian leather. Just a marketing term.

Farewell Ricardo. :cry:

Sorry it must be 30 years since i last heard it. :oops:

Corinthian Leather = a product of the Corinth Leather Company, Corinth NY.

On a side note, Number Six also died. RIP Patrick McGoohan.

GAH! Its like a space illness is killing all the Star Trek stars! Somebody hide Shatner!!! Who knows which show is next, hell, it might slip into movies!!



Not Harrison Ford !!

Two of my favorites gone in one day...both had a good long run, though.

We have a generation of bad Montalbán impersonators to blame for it. ;)

Patrick McGoohan too! I wonder if the cause of death was being smothered by a giant floating bubble. :p

:D Coincidentally i just watched a movie with him in it. "Ice Station Zebra" where he also plays a spy.

He was considered for the role of James Bond for Dr. No in 1962. So close to the greatest spy character of all. :cool: He also played the English king Edward Longshanks in the movie Braveheart.

Always loved that scene where he throws his son's 'military advisor' out the window.

That is sad. I did like him in the Khan roll. It suited him. RIP

That was something of a comeback role for him iirc.

Close too? Drake could clear up in thirty minutes something that Bond would take hours to resolve, and he'd do it with less mess to clean up.:D

The Plane, The Plane

Will miss Khan!
