Khan!!!!

Ricardo seemed like a great guy. He was one of those immigrants who was extremely happy and proud to be an American.

RIP

Did anyone else think the words, "Rich, Corinthian leather" when you heard the news?

RIP

Oops, it's actually "soft, Corinthian leather." Here's his memorable Cordoba work:

1975 Chrysler Cordoba

We just watched him last night playing the Pinkerton agent in the John Wayne western "The Train Robbers".
Of course to me he will always be Kahn. As a life long sci-fi fan it was an absolute pleasure to watch Montalban and Shatner chew the scenery.
RIP

My mother told me that he hit on her in Dallas back in the early '60s when he was in town promoting a movie. She was a 20-something working in PR for a theater company with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a large rack. I'm pretty sure it happened. Just think, I came close to calling him "papi".

I grew up watching "Fantasy Island" with my father sitting behind me reading the Wall Street Journal and occasionally yelling, "Turn that garbage off!"

He was quite the entertainer.

Napolean, are you sure you aren't really a Montalban? Is your best friend a short guy, and you hang around on tropical islands? Do you have a taste for the best in leather car seats?
Do you buy Star Trek models and smash them when you get angry? Maybe better have another talk with mom.
RIP to Napolean's real dad, er to Ricardo Montalban.
