Got goose bumps when I heard the news about Ricardo this morning. Just watched a biography about him on the bio channel last week. One in a million. Will be greatly missed; never heard a bad word about him, just the opposite, great family man, classy, talented and decent in an old-fashioned way.

I presume the coffin will be lined with Corinthian leather....

In the wake of Montalban's passing, Obama revealed today that he would immediately scrap all Abraham Lincoln references at his inauguration and instead would deliver a new theme of “Fantasy Inauguration”.

I was fortunate enough to meet Ricardo Montalban in person when he was filming Fantasy Island in Hawaii. We happened upon the filming of a scene behind a hotel where we were dining. He was walking out of his dressing room trailor and I asked him if I could take a photo with him. He was very gracious, and even though he was being repeatedly called to film, he took his time and was very polite. He was a rare person, a fine actor and a fine man. He will be missed.
