Actor Ricardo Montalban, star of the hit TV series “Fantasy Island,” died Wednesday in Los Angeles, a family spokesman said. Montalban, 88, was in deteriorating health over the past several days but “died peacefully” at 6:30 a.m. at his home, son-in-law Gilbert Smith said.
He understood “it was his time,” Smith said. The cause of death was not given.

Another Legend leaves us. An important part of my childhood has died today. I dare you to find two more prominent characters of television and movies than Mr. Roarke and Khan. You can’t because they don’t exist!
Khan was by far the best villain of all the Star Trek movies and shows, period, end of discussion. Mr. Roarke was the pinnacle of 80’s television, an icon, infamous, far and away a character who will never be forgotten for how cool he was and the last man to pull off an all white suit.
Roarke’s best friend was a midget and you don’t get more bad ass than that. Roarke would give you your fantasy, sit back while your world crumbled around you and then tell you how much of an asshat you were for wanting that fantasy.
I solute you Ricardo Montalban for in life you kicked major balls.
P.S. I know for a fact Montalban tapped Marsha Brady like a beer keg in a frat house.
