Ricardo Montalban dies


Mexican-born actor Ricardo Montalban died yesterday morning at his house surrounded by his daughter and nurse. He was 88. He was in a ton of musicals that were performed at MGM, but became most famous for his role of Mr. Roarke on the old school show Fantasy Island.

I gotta say, all of the stuff he was in was mostly before my time (I was only a year old when Fantasy Island ended), but I heard he was one of the greats. Plus, his name was straight up badass. RIP Ricardo!

I was and still am an enthuiastic fan of late RICARDO MONTALBAN,. I found him to be the SEXIEST MAN ever seen or come-across. He was so handsome , so friendly, so viril so romantique and above all so MANLY. He had the best physique i have ever seen, real muscles shaped body and owned the BEST CHEST !!! E V E R
