November 25, 1920 - January 14, 2009
Ricardo Montalban, a legend to Star Trek fans worldwide died Wednesday morning January 14th, at his home in Los Angeles, California. He was 88 years old…
We all loved him as Khan, in the classic Star Trek Original Series episode, ” Space Seed” as well as Mr Roarke, in the campy tv show “Fantasy Island…” I for one will always cherish his performance in the 1982 classic, Star Trek The Wrath of Khan. His famous last words to Kirk were, ” From Hell’s Heart I Stab at Thee, For Hate’s Sake I Spit My Last Breath at Thee!”
In my opinion, his greatest performance as an actor !!!
Back a few years ago Hollywood’s famous “James A. Doolittle Theatre” was remodelled and renamed in his honor. “The Ricardo Mantalban Theatre.” I hope it inspires many others to pursue there dreams…
Rest easy now, Ricardo, and find peace on the other side!
