I’m Mexican and I knew Ricardo Montalban because of Hollywood. Is sad that nowadays many people doesn’t know anything about this HUGE celebrity, Pride of México 🇲🇽 a charming land fulfilled with marvelous talented people.
Mr. Maltalban is a handsome, very classy gentleman! What an all round talent from old Hollywood! He carries himself so well. Loved many of the parts he played. A wonderful, athletic dancer in earlier movie parts...wow! Married to his beautiful wife for over 50 years!
@@godofawesum223 majority of Mexicans literally are Spanish descent. Most Latin Americans are descended from Spanish colonists mixed with small amounts of native central and south Americans.
@@godofawesum223 Yes, but he didn't say that he or his father were Spanish, what he said is that there is a city in Spain called Cordoba and a city in Mexico called Cordoba as well.
A pride for humanity! The only other actor who had Ricardo' s range an charisma would be Marlon Brando. Those two where on a level no other actors before or since could emulate.
A great actor and one of my favorites. We never missed "Fantasy Island" growing up at the time. I was 12 when I first viewed his portrayal of Khan in "Space Seed" in 1967. How awesome it was for this old Trekkie to see Mr. Montalban return in "The Wrath Of Khan". This was a great clip and my thanks for uploading it.
Mr. Montalban should have been nominated for The Wrath of Khan. His performance in that movie was outstanding. Oscar, Golden Globes, BAFTA, you name it.
Loved and respected this man and his work. Never saw or heard him in a demeaning role about Hispanics or Indians he portrayed. Always a class act. And his voice was as wonderful as his looks. I miss him, God bless his soul.
On the set of fantasy island the director once called for Ricardo and he replied from across the room "THATS NOT MY NAME I AM KHAN!!!" then he laughed, RIP a true larger than life talent.
One of the best- obviously I didn't know him personally, but Mr Ricardo seems like a good man- I feel fortunate to have been able to watch him through the yrs - Thanks for the memories🎶
What a great man of class a rare bread and such a loss that he of course has passed on, I really like to hear him speak with his articulation, a true gentleman.
Does Corinthian mean anyt- nothing. The best interview on talk show. How Ricardo cuts Dave's question short with a straightforward honest answer is classic.
How did I miss this spot? I loved Ricardo Montalban's work on Star Trek and Fantasy Island. A truly classy actor and a personable man. He worked with Agnes Moorehead (Endora from Bewitched) and Edward Mulhare (Devon from Knight Rider)? That's a combination that I would've liked to see.
He also appeared in the very 1st season of NBC's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. entitled The Dove Affair which also featured June Lockhart of Lost in Space and These are the Days
Everyone ask Rich Corinthian leather? Of course why not the best it’s the same with a new Chrysler New Yorker it gives you everything, powerful v6, front wheel drive, rich Corinthian leather. 7/70 protection plan. And Crystal key, better owner car than any GM sedan, even rolls or Mercedes, Chrysler New Yorker gives you one thing that you always wanted in a luxury car, everything!”~recardo montobaun (1988)
@@Underappreciatedclassics The funny thing is that NONE of those Chrysler Cordobas actually had "Corinthian" leather. I just read that it was a BS marketing gimmick that the leather originated in Corinth. In reality, that leather originated in the ancient Mecca of luxury and style known as 'New Jersey'!
Mr. Montalban was such an interesting man. He accomplished many things, and at the same time seeming quit down to earth. I bet he would have been a fascinating person to have dinner with. RIP
The only thing I ever seen him in was Wrath of Khan and he was sensational in that. Is so interesting to see hes such a wonderful and gracious man. Thanks for sharing Don Giller, I'll be searching for an episode of fantasy island because of this
You can watch Fantasy Island on the CTV app, or on the Tubi app, or on UA-cam. I’ve been watching it myself on CTV. The video quality isn’t very good on UA-cam, though. I was 16 when it first aired in the 70’s and I still love it. I sure miss Ricardo, though, God rest his soul. And my son likes him in those Spy Kids movies where he played the grandpa.
@@MadamOst Well, it was a great movie and I saw it many times, as a trek lover. But each to their own. My favorite Star Trek movie is still The Search for Spock. It was filled with love, loyalty, and sacrifice. When it came out in June of 1984 I couldn’t get enough of it for some reason. I also saw it many times but I’m not going to tell how many times I saw it. And btw, I have LOVED Fantasy Island since I was16 and I am now 60 and still love it, AND Wrath of Khan, AND The Search for Spock. Ricardo Montalbań was a wonderful, talented, consummate actor, a total professional, who was loving and kind towards his fellow actors and other human beings. I wish I could have met him at some con or other before he passed. RIP Mr. Montalban!
I remember seeing this live at the time especially on how an actor should interpret "she is" and googled for "ricardo montalban late night she is" and found it!
I have been watching episodes of Fantasy Island...Mr. Rourke, so handsome, so eloquent and now searching for interviews of Ricardo Montalbon...this man is superb! I LOVE his accent, so easy on the ears and the eyes.
What a gem this gentleman was... and what a diction for someone whose english isn't it first language. Greetings for Córdoba, Argentina (and that's right, it's accentuated on the first syllable).
What a gentleman Ricardo is - classy, elegant, well spoken, great story teller, sharp wit
That's becasue he only ever used Rich Corinthian Leather.
This man was the Latin Marlon Brando
The Most Interesting Man in the World.
@@trevinoarrache2324 that was a diffrent guy but I'm sure Ricardo probably held the title before him.
Is he single?

Mr. Montalban should have started his own voice and diction school worldwide. If only everyone could speak like him.
They did this as a skit on SCTV
@@boomerrocksUSAJess!
Lol..WTF are you smoking?
Never heard a bad word spoken about this fine gentleman. He had class and he had character and he was always genuine.
I DOUBT ANYONE HAD ANY GRIPE WITH THIS MAN!
This man just exudes class. Incredibly accomplished, on & off stage.
Yes, pure class. Pure charm.
Sad is not.?
Hollywood decided to get rid of the classy Latin lover types like him. Not sure why.
Very much agree
He is so genuine
How I miss Ricardo!, a very smart- enlightened guy, great conversationalist, a really pride for Mexico....

A PRIDE for the GLOBE, actually! THE GUY WAS CLASS!
My Spanish teacher was born in the same city as Mr. Montalban and She had all the qualities of character he has. he was an incredibly gracious soul.
What a funny, quick witted and just plan elegant man. The Golden Age of Hollywood is sorely missed
Ricardo Montalban, what a classy gentleman! 😇👏🏼
Ricardo Montalbán is Hollywood Royalty. Ultimate professional
Damn right!
Ricardo Montalban was so charming and elegant that I could listen to read the phone book and be entertained.
I know- just the way he says "Hi" @ 11:32 is awesome.
Ricardo was an absolute gem and so full of charisma. What a treat to watch this interview in 2021 with both men at their prime
What an elegant and polite gentleman. Too bad he is no more with us.
Now THIS guy.....REALLY miss him. Just an international treasure. An actor's actor.
One of the coolest guys who ever lived, honestly.
I could listen to this man speak for hours. So classy and witty.
You make me feel proud 😊 !🇲🇽🇲🇽 ! God bless you ❤❤ !
It would have been a true honor to meet him.
Ricardo Montalbán was a fantastic actor. RIP.
When having class actually meant something.
My entire wardrobe is made of Corinthian Leather.
I love it!

This was fantastic
What a coincidence to find a comment from you here!!! I’m a fan of your channel. I hope you have a great rest of your day...
What a neat fellow! 😂😂 He knew everybody wanted to hear him just say “Corinthian leather!” lol
What a great interview, you can tell Dave is absolutely charmed by Ricardo.
This guy is the epitome of sexy, from his looks, his voice and his mannerisms. Of course, only my opinion.
Right What a singer he was also Very Professional, & a great Sharp Dresser he was also may he RIP etc.
Not only your opinion, but mine too!
Truth
This guy was KHAN!!!
I know. David Letterman always makes me hot, too.
On the set of fantasy island the director once called for Ricardo and he replied from across the room "THATS NOT MY NAME I AM KHAN!!!" then he laughed, RIP a true larger than life talent.
Ricardo is amazing. I wish I could have met him. I’ve been watching his movies since I was a little girl.
Montalban, Bixby, Reeve....I miss them all.
Best gift Mexico ever gave the world
Maybe 2nd to Tequila ;)
@@darthnatas953 YOU´RE RIGHT MAN.
Well, this was a delight. The man told such good stories.
What a beautiful and dignified man! This is a terrific interview with a pure gentleman......
One of the best- obviously I didn't know him personally, but Mr Ricardo seems like a good man- I feel fortunate to have been able to watch him through the yrs - Thanks for the memories🎶
The classiest actor to ever grace the screen.
Funny thing about mentioning Joan Collins. Both Ricardo Montalban & Joan Collins appeared on Star Trek episodes within weeks of each other in 1967.
Two of the better episodes.
Two of my favorite episodes of Star Trek (TOS). Khan was one of the best villain ever!
She was on Fantasy Island with him, as well.
Back when there was CLASS in the world :(
Mr. Montalban IS class incarnate.
oh yeah, the world was so classy back in the '80's
There's still class in the world. Unfortunate for you that you're unable to see it.
Today the men wear tattoos and piercimgs☹
@@ChrisLawton66 That's a little strong. Maybe you could use some class yourself!
What a charismatic gentleman he was
respect to Ricardo...classy gentleman, and a brilliant actor!
The naked gun was so brilliant and he was brilliant.
Even the way he acted out the "Grand" exchange was exquisite.
what a fun actor to watch.
Montalban is the definition of winner.
Amen!
true
Thank you! A role model for young and old!
I could listen to him talk all day.
I could listen to this man talk all day!
He is delightful and very amiable. He has a damned sexy voice too! :-D
Such an amazing storyteller.

He is handsome and well spoken.
The original, _"Most Interesting Man In The World"_
What a beautiful guy. Mi epsosa es Mexicana. He reminds me of family (her's) in a way. What a decent, great guy he was. Would have liked to know him.
Interesting to see this 36 years after it aired and to learn the correct pronunciation of Chrysler Cordoba all thanks to this great actor.
Thank you for sharing this. Ricardo is amazing.
Ricardo IS class. And seemed to be such a nice man.
From Hollywood musicals with Esther Williams to playing Khan in "Star Trek" to Family Guy....now that's range.
I love his acting and hearing him speak. So eloquent and refined.love him and continue to watch his acting. ✨May He rest in peace.
One of the MOST charming and handsomest man ever on the screen...

I think his anecdote about reacting to "Mabel" being out of jail is hysterical.

For hours!
That right there is the definition of Smooth.
He’s clearly a wonderful human being, great to hang around with.

He always struck me as a sort of Latin Sean Connery. RIP
Indeed..i believe that Ricardo Montalbán would have been a good James Bond..🤔..Am i crazy for believing that??
he was son of Spanish immigrants to Mexico so he was more Hispanic than Latin
