Actor Ricardo Montalban dies

Another death of an entertainment celebrity: Mexican-born actor Ricardo Montalban died today at the age of 88.

You might remember Montalban from 'Fantasy Island' - or perhaps from his commercials for the Chrysler Cordoba of the '70s.

Oddly, I just saw one of his old Cordoba ads on YouTube the other day - ads that I recall from my childhood.

    Tim!

    You forgot to mention his most famous role, as Khan in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".

    He will be sorely missed.
