Ricardo Montalban

A son of Mexico, he had a successful career in Mexican cinema before people came to know him as Mr. Roarke.
A class act. Passed at 88.

Mexico can always feel proud of this classy guy. The dad of an ex-gf did work for him and told me that the persona in private was no different than the classy public person we all came to know.

Can you name the car?

I owned one but didn't opt for the leather trim.

Regardless...a POS.

Nevermind that there is no such thing as Corintian leather. Never was. it was made up by the advertising agency. Sounded soooo good. Thanks for the link. It made me grin.

Funny thing is I was already online trying to find it before Dennis even made the post about the leather. I guess that and Fantasy Island are two things we all remember him by...

Hey boss, da plane - da plane...

Will always associate him with the opening scene at the Queen Anne Cottage in Fantasy Island. He was a memorable person.
