Years ago I saw an outtake of Montalban in a Maxwell House Coffee Commercial. In the spot he was supposed to smell the aroma of the coffee, sip it and say how wonderful it was.

He smelled the cup of coffee and said “This Maxwell House coffee is...” then he took a sip and yelled, “yikes...it’s too f——ing hot!!” It was very funny.

Re: ...there was rumor going around Trekkie triva that claim that Ricardo wore plastic chest after Leonomy Nimony or Bill Shatner put that theory to rest that was Ricardo real chest dude work out get all buff up in that movie...

I knew that rumor was bullhockey from the git go, seven... I am old enough to recall what good shape Ricardo Montalban kept himself in and that he would accept wearing such a device would be totally out of character for him.

Is Clint really quite that old? I suppose he is... I’d guess he is about 75. Lemme check... ok, he’s 78. He’s got 10 years to make it to Ricardo’s age of passing.

Abe will be 88 in February, God bless.

Maybe one of the Saturday Night Live spoofs contributed to that rumor. IIRC, Dana Carvey made an appearance as "Khan", sporting an absurd prosthetic chest.

RIP. Likable screen presence. I think I’ve only seen Fantasy Island once. Some Vietnam vet was reliving some stuff.

He was the villian in the last episode of Disney’s Zorro.

2 veteran actors in 2 days (McGoohan). They say these things happen in threes, a meaningless old canard. But still, Kirk Douglas better be careful.

Nope, that was his own physique in TWOK. I recalled the “We offered the world order” line in another thread that got yanked as a dupe.

Kirk will live to 110... just as long as we keep him away from his adoring fans like John Travolta trying to steal his soul...

What he wants to covert him? Eep.

They sure seem to aggressive on that front, especially if you have money.

‘Fantasy Island’??? *That’s* what the author of this article thinks was his main claim to fame?? He was a much better actor than that.

"I know from an interview I saw with him that he was a devoted family man who a strong faith in God."

Yes, both he and his wife were devote Catholics. His wife Georgiana was Loretta Young's sister. She died in November of 2007.
