Ricardo Montalban was a Mexican actor from the 1940s to the 2000s. He was unfortunately typecast in playing roles considered suitable for a Mexican actor through the early portion of his career. Some of his movies include: Battleground, Cheyenne Autumn, and Sayonara. He was memorable as Khan in both the "Star Trek" TV series and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", Mr. Roarke in "Fantasy Island", and for his series of Chrysler TV automobile commercials where he praised the "rich Corinthian leather". Montalban was also married to Loretta Young's sister Georgiana, who he apparently said he was going marry after seeing her in the movie The Story of Alexander Bell. Some friends later set him up on a blind date, and he reluctantly went, only to discover it was Georgiana! They went on to be married for 63 years. He passed away in 2009 at the age of 88.
