Ricardo Montalban Dies at 88

quote:
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles city councilman says Ricardo Montalban has died. He was 88.

The Mexican-born actor, who became a star in splashy MGM musicals and later the wish-fulfilling Mr. Roarke in TV's "Fantasy Island," died at his home in Los Angeles, City Council President Eric Garcetti (gar-SET'-ti) said Wednesday.

Montalban lived in Garcetti's district in Los Angeles.

Patrick McGoohan dies at 80

Emmy-winning actor Patrick McGoohan, best known for starring in cult 1960s TV show The Prisoner, has died at the age of 80.

He died in Los Angeles after a short illness, his film producer son-in-law Cleve Landsberg told Associated Press.
