How well do you know the career of Ricardo Montalban?
KHAAAAAAAN!
Is there a better Star Trek villain? Strike that — is there a better villain? Khan first appeared in the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series, and returned in the finest Trek film, 1982's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Much of the character was built upon the allure of actor Ricardo Montalbán, who had played bad guys in Western and romantic leads for years on screens.
Of course, you also know him from Fantasy Island. But how well do you know the man himself, the actor with a career as fine as "rich, Corinthian leather." Let's see!

No mention of Vincent Ludwig...pshaw! One of my favorite movies with him in it. An oldie but a goodie with him in it was a movie from 1949 called Border Incident.
5/11 - no trip to Fantasy Island for me in the near future
I could swear Ricardo was married to Ester Williams. Oh well
Worst ever - I got 1 right! My sister was a waitress at a Lums restaurant, back in the late 70's, and she served Ricardo Montalban! He told her she had beautiful teeth. That always cracked me up. Could've been mistaken for saying something else!
