Ricardo Montalban 1920-2009

Will the coffin be lined in soft Corinthian leather?

He'll probably be buried in a Chrysler Cordoba.

That's it! Pick on the poor dead guy!

The truth might be that he was decent person.

In the 1970’s he sold a few Jaguar cars that owned. While being a spokesman for Chrysler, he felt it was the right thing to do.

Can anyone remember hearing any scandals about him?

While making a movie in the 1950’s he received a spinal cord injury. He suffered from it through the rest of his life.

Rest in peace!

Yes, beware The Wrath Of Khan. Ricardo Montalban was as good as they come. Wasn't like the typical Hollywood star that got married and divorced countless times. He was married for about 60 years to Georgianne Young, the sister of actress Loretta Young and was a devout Catholic. He made alot of movies with Esther Williams back in the late 40's and early 50's and people got him mixed up with Fernando Lamas who was married to Esther Williams for many years. My favorite Montalban movies are Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan where he reprised the role that he did on the old Star Trek series. The first Naked Gun movie and Battleground, where played a Hispanic-American soldier in the 101st Airborne during the Battle Of The Bulge who is overjoyed to see snow for the first time.

The most recent stuff I saw was him as the grand father on Disney's Spy Kids and doing the voices on Kim Possible.

> Ricardo Montalban was as good as they come.

I agree, I have never seen anything bad or over the top about him. Pretty productive life.
