it's a tragedy when people die and there have been a lot of them this week
here is an opportunity to pay tribute to the famous who have gone.
The first one this week was Ricarado Motalban.
I don't remember ever watching Fantasy Island, although the small guy in the white suit yelling "the plane, the plane" is a cultural symbol of my time
i do remeber him from star trek-the wrath of khan (and from the original star trek episode "space seed"

I missed the death of Montalban. I watched Fantasy Island a lot but then I watched a lot of TV as a kid. Malcolm McDowell who took on the role of Mr.Roarke was too dark and didn't have the same air of playfulness that Montalban brought to a role that needed the right balance of light and dark.
