THE PLANE! THE PLANE! FLYING AWAY INTO THE SUNSET

Ricardo Montalban and Herve Villachaize, both now gone to that fantasy island in the sky.

Just a pick up from the internet wires. An actor who played one of the most memorable characters on TV.

LOS ANGELES — Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died Wednesday morning at his home, his family said. He was 88. Montalban's death was first announced at a city council meeting by president Eric Garcetti, who represents the district where the actor lived. He died "from complications of advancing age," his son-in-law, Gilbert Smith, later said.
