He committed suicide several years ago.

I am sorry to hear that.

The cutoff for getting into this year's Oscar memorial tribute is January 31.

Some of these guys are really working hard to make it under the wire.

It's a bad day for old Columbo villains. If I were Robert Culp or Robert Vaughn, I'd be real careful right now.

May his casket be lined with rich corinthian leather.


Come on...you KNOW it will.

I always think of him as Armando the circus owner from the Planet of the Apes movies...

And of course, Khan from Star Trek.

It's soft corinthian leater.

I'll give you the 'soft' but I must stand firm on it being leather. I think some of the knock offs from China have the soft Corinthian leater.

I knew the name sounded familiar. Anyway, it's sad that he died but 88 years is a pretty darn good length to live.

I always thought he was fabu in whatever role he had. I loved those brunet good looks, the impeccable accent . . . just wonderful.

My favorite is Khan, of course.

He personified suave. Or debonair, maybe. Perhaps both.

A fine actor.

May he have a cortege of Chrysler Cordobas. If there are enough still running anywhere. Google spoils everything and tells me that Corinthian Leather was made in Newark, New Jersey.

Not when it came to how he treated his fans, he didn't

Eh, RIP anyhow.

Although he was confined to a wheelchair in his last years (he appeared in the Spy Kids movies in his wheelchair), Montalban was quite limber as a young man, combining good moves with a lot of sex appeal. Here's a couple of his dance numbers from some of his early musicals. The first one features him with Cyd Charisse and Ann Miller. The movie is The Kissing Bandit, a mediocre Frank Sinatra vehicle, but Montalban and the ladies livened it up:

The second one is him with Charisse. It's from his first U.S. movie, Fiesta, and is more of a showcase for his talents than Charisse's.
