Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 88. The veteran actor had been a star in Mexican movies when he came to Hollywood in 1946. While he made many MGM musicals and played opposite many of Hollywood's leading ladies, he is probably best known for his role as Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island" during the late 70's and early 80's.
I remember vividly Saturday nights as a kid watching Fantasy Island. Montalban made wearing a white suit cool and Tattoo a household name. I'll have to wear that suit tomorrow in honor of him.....RIP Mr. Roarke!
