Ricardo Montalban RIP

Ha, well, I see now I already said that upthread. One more time etc.

Unfortunately, for me RM's most memorable role involved the solemn intonation of the words "rich Corinthian leather" in describing the 1975 Chrysler Cordoba.

He was great in the Apes movies

argue with the writer, alfred, im hopeless with this stuff

prepositions are great things to end sentences with!

thanks for the tip on the commentary though, i'll check it out!

"ADMIRAL Kirk! AD-miral."

"I wish to go on... hurting you."

A marvelous interview (it hasn't been cited here before). He discusses exposition, every actor's horror; the travails of being a Mexican actor in the biz; and about making a living. "You're only an actor when you're acting. Never turn down a role unless it offends your moral principles."

Now that's sharp.

whoa at mention of Gene Lockhart (big Orson Welles hater and reactionary).

I heard Teri Garr say she was told the same by Nicholson. "Teri, actors act."
