A thought about Ricardo Montalban

Some names, some lines just stay with you.

I was thinking about that yesterday when word first started moving about the death of actor Ricardo Montalban.

The guy had a great career, appearing in any number of serious movie and TV roles.

But what is he remembered for? That’s right, he was Mr. Roarke on “Fantasy Island.”

Actually, that is not the first thing that pops into my mind when I hear the name of Ricardo Montalban.

And what is?

Well, I was wondering if his coffin was going to be lined in “rich Corinthian leather.”

If you just smiled, welcome to my world. I would say we’re about the same age. That’s a nice way of saying we’re getting older.

Rest well, Ricardo.
