The last of the great ones. One classy gentleman he was indeed.

I know it is sad he has gone, but he will now be free from the pain he suffered in his last few years. He will live in peoples memories for ever.

This vid was circa '98. A year (or 2) later I was told by his TWOK co-star Judson Scott that Montalban finally got the corrective surgery he needed. Thanks to the advancements of surgical technology, Montalban was cured completely. I trust Scott was telling me the truth. This bit of news was discrete to say the least. Then again, shortly before this '98 event, I just recently learned Montalban was disabled. So you see, Montalban was a very private man keeping off the radar of the glitteratti.

No entiendo por qué en México no se le hizo reconocimiento, en cambio internacionalemte es muy reconocido... Debimos darle homenaje en vida.. al menos en este país.

Thanks for sharing! He is one of a kind and a great role model for Mexicans/latinos

[1tontomato]

@htownlithium Very true, he is a perfect role model not just for Latinos but most importantly to practicing Catholics. Montalban loved his faith, Church and family. There should be a movie made about his life, I would love to see it!
