Ricardo Montalban died yesterday at the age of 88.
He was a prolific actor, best known among us geeky sorts for his role as Khan Noonian Singh (forgive any spelling errors) on Star Trek, original series and movie. He played all sorts of roles, in various classic Tv and movies. from the sublime to the ridiculous (i will never forget him playing a Japanese man on Hawaii Five O... yeah. he did.)
He was a devout Catholic, and married to the same woman for over 60 years.... in Hollywood... obviously his best achievement, given the average lifespan of marriages out there.
Rest in Peace.
