"Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died Wednesday morning at his home, a city councilman said. He was 88."

Hope he gets a Corinthian Leather lined casket.

You do know that he made that "rich Corinthian leather" stuff up off the top of his head, right? The ad director like the way he rolled his Rs.

Either that, or he's being chaufered through in a Plymouth Volaré Wagon with a hacked off roof.

Don't forget he was also the cow on Family Guy, the bad guy in one of those Spy Kids flicks and the shiek in Cannonball Run II.

That is a bummer.

Yet ANOTHER childhood icon gone.

I could never watch 'Wrath of Khan' without thinking of that Chrysler ad.

In reply to Tim Baxter:

Yup, they go for $20-$30 on eBay, or $60 mint in box. I'm telling you between the Khan plate and the O.G. Velcro 1980s wallet (blue with orange rainbow stripe) I found in a box of old photos, I'll be rich beyond the dreams of Solomon!
