Ricardo Montalban Dies

KHAAANNNN!

Suave actor Ricardo Montalban, who took that small-screen "Star Trek" role to the movies in 1982, has died. He was 88.

Of course, Montalban's career lasted for decades. He first graced the big screen in 1942's "Five Were Chosen." However, the Mexican-born star was best known for as Mr. Roarke, the white-suited dream maker in the '70s/'80s hit "Fantasy Island."

According to Radar Online, Montalban died at home early this morning. His wife of 63 years, Georgiana Young, died in 2007. -- Rachel Cericola
