Never got a chance to lament the passing of Ricardo Montalbán, who was way more than a white suit and a Corinthian leather pusher.
Not only was he a Latin lover and a tough guy (and sometimes Asian), but he was all that and a cleavaged white pompadour-rockin' superhuman in my favorite of his roles, Khan Noonian Singh (who despite his pan-South Asian name was clearly Latino -- just listen to him enunciate the one Latino crew member's name upon reanimation).
Check this Robot Chicken Italian opera claymation version of the movie, yet another on-point miniature marvel.
That's just too funny.
