LOS ANGELES -- 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.

One of the best marketing gimmicks of all time. The stuff was produced in a plant in New Jersey and the "Corinthian" was purely a marketing ploy.
I seem to remember his being interviewed by Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. When asked by Johnny about what it was like to be a “Latin Lover,” Montalban replied (something to the effect) of, “My father was the real Latin lover.” When Johnny’s interest piqued, Montalban continued, “Yes, he was married for fifty years to the same woman and was faithful to her every day. That’s a real Latin lover.” Johnny looked like the bird of paradise flew up his nose!

You beat me to it. An ad that no one can forget! RIP Ricardo Montalban!
I was just thinking about him yesterday, and wondering how he was doing.
Rest in peace.
Rest in Peace. I enjoyed the, “Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan”
very much as well as many other of his roles. He had a good long run.
If you mean Patrick McGoohan as number one, I wonder about the 3rd. If you did not, you have your answer.
Vincent Ludwig: Inspector Drebin, welcome.
Frank Drebin: The feeling is mutual.
Vincent Ludwig: Nice to meet you too... He offers Drebin some cigars ... Cuban?
Frank Drebin: Err, no, Dutch-Irish, my father was from Wales.
First, Number Six and now Khan.
Fare thee well, good man. May your pad in Paradise be lined in rich Corinthian leather.

Prayers to his family for their loss. He was a favorite.
I hereby admit “Fantasy Island” was one of my favorites when I was a kid, even though we joked about it in later years.
Rest in peace, Senor Montalban. Sounds like he lived a long and full life.
Patrick McGoohan was Number 6 :D
I was just making sure there wasn’t a third good actor over 80 for $500.
