Ricardo Montalban Dead at 88


I am so sad - Mr. Roarke has gone to the big Fantasy Island in the sky. Ricardo Montalban died today in his Los Angeles home at the age of 88. Read the story HERE.

I checked out some old pictures of Montalban and found out that he was one SMOKIN' HOT PAPI back in the day. Hubba - hubba ...

I so loved Fantasy Island when I was a little girl (although at times it gave me nightmares, I had a vivid imagination). So sad!

I remember his fabulous pecs in Star Trek--The Wrath of Kahn.

He was always so sexy.

He was the ORIGINAL Papi! I'll bet his casket is lined in rich Corinthian leather!

And he made Billy Crystal what he is today. "You are Mahhhhhhvelous."
I'm glad you are acknowledging an early papi.

I always loved his voice. Do you remember when he did the voice over for the Chrysler Cordoba with its Corinthian leather upholstery, back in the late 70s? Sigh...

Montalban epitomized the suave host image; and he did a great job in Wrath of Khan! he will be missed
