Ricardo Montalban, the Mexican-born actor who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later as the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died Wednesday morning at his home, his family said. He was 88. Montalban's death was first announced at a city council meeting by president Eric Garcetti, who represents the district where the actor lived. He died "from complications of advancing age," his son-in-law, Gilbert Smith, later said.
Look here for more information on the concept of a "Fantasy Island". Ricardo Montalban also played Khan in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, connecting him to Kublai Khan and KK. Wrath of Khan came out on June 4th, 1982 which is 6/4/1982, giving us a checkerboard and syncs up nicely with the age of his death, 88, and the number of keys on a piano which also represents the checkerboard.
Fixed my post clock. It was on Pacific time, I've guess I've spent too much time in my meditative "northwestern forest" trance.
Natural beauty is so dangerous to modern society. What a sad ordeal.

Wow, that's great to hear, Michael! I've been reading yours for a long time now, I read your post about RM before I got this comment and thought you really covered all the bases.
Thanks for reading!
