Thinking about the 1970s tv show Fantasy Island brings back a lot of fond childhood memories for me, so it was with much sadness that I learned of the death of actor Ricardo Montalban earlier today. Mr Montablan apparently passed away in his home, although no cause of death has been given at the time I am typing this. While Mr Montablan had a long and successful acting career for me he will always be Mr. Roarke. Rest in peace Ricardo Montalban. The actor was 88 at the time of his death.
