News Ricardo Montalban's box of fame
Posted by Curt Holman @Curt_Holman on Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 6:52 PM
You've probably already heard that Ricardo Montalban died Wednesday morning at the age of 88. Montalban was best-known as Mr. Rourke from "Fantasy Island" and Khan Noonien Singh from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but was also celebrated for his unique pronunciation of "Corinthian leather" and had a late-career resurgence in the Spy Kids sequels. One of Montalban's most peculiar gigs, however has stuck with me for two decades. He plays a unique role in this "celebrity science experiment" on Spy Magazine TV special "How To Be Famous," hosted by Jerry Seinfeld and Victoria Jackson. Look out for the "stunning display of hubris."
