Some Recent Deaths

Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalbán y Merino (1920-2009): He may been Mr. Roarke and stared opposite Esther Williams in Neptune’s Daughter (ironically playing character by the name of O’Roark) but to my geeky demographic he will always be Kahn. Still seemed vibrant a couple of years ago from what little I saw of the Spy Kids movies.

Kathleen Byron (1921-2009): She freaked me out as a Nun driven wild with lust and jealousy in the Powell/ Pressburger oddity Black Narcissus, and for this she deserves to be remembered.

Bob May (1939-2009): He was the voice of The Robot on Lost in Space, it is enough.
