Rest in Peace...... Sad

He was such a classy actor and add such sophistication to his acting. He was rare commodity in Hollywood that is now even rarer.

The day before I found out he'd died I saw him on TCM in a doc about MGM Studios... "Good old Ricardo- wonder what he's up to now?" I wondered.

There was something about him; you just trusted him and admired his suave. He did wonders with the most insgnificant roles.
Only the great Montalban could almost make you want to buy a POS like a Cordoba... Grin
