Ricardo Montalban rosed to fame as Mr. Roarke in Fantasy Island. He was one of the first Latino icons in Hollywood.
As a child, I would wait impatiently for the show to begin, pondering about the fate of the planeload of people who arrived at this remote island from all over the world where they would fufill their lifelong dreams at the expense of a difficult life lesson.
I vividly remember BEGGING my mom to let me stay up to watch the double feature of Love Boat & Fantasy Island every Saturday night as a kid. TV didn't get any better than that.
Another piece of my childhood gone...sigh... RIP Mr Roarke!
