Ricardo Montalban has gone off to the Fantasy Island called heaven at the age of 88. Radar reports that he passed away from natural causes at his home, Casa Montalban in Los Angeles, at 6:30am this morning.
Ricardo's wife of 63 years just passed away last year. Ricardo's son-in-law told Radar that he was with his daughter and nurses at the time of his death.
I will forever love Ricardo for giving me the gift of Khan in Star Trek II. Amazingly hot. The Academy should give him an honorary award this year for that performance alone.
Rest in peace, Ricardo!
