vanillafluffyRicardo Montalban
1920 -- 2009
Okay, I could've easily found a picture from Fantasy Island. That's classic Montalban, probably the first role most people think of when they hear his name. Or, I could've scored Trekkie points with a shot of bare-chested Khan from the best Star Trek movie ever filmed. (Believe me, I thought about it.) But hey, this is me---I went with the car. Yes, indeed. Because I melted when I heard Mr. Montalban's voice caress the part about "rich Corinthian leather"....

Date: 2009-01-15 05:31 am (UTC)You're so right about the best ST movie ever filmed. Though those ear creatures still haunt me...
Though ST 3 had my favorite line: "Well, Doctor, that's what happens when you miss staff meetings." or something like that.
