The Wrath is Over. Ricardo Montalban Dead at 88

The man who brought us the smooth phrase "Corinthian leather"and revived the Star Trek series with the film "The Wrath of Kahn" is gone as Ricardo Montalban died today at the age of 88.

Cause of death was not revealed, but in recent years Moltaban had been suffering from a painful spinal condition.

Best known as the white-suited Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island (1978-1984) the Mexican born Moltaban helped to break down doors for Latino actors since his debut in 1940's.

Actor Edward James Olmos (Miami Vice, Battlestar Galactica) called Montalban "one of the true giants of arts and culture."
