Bid farewell to the mortal coil, Patrick McGoohan and Ricardo Montalban.
Both had standout roles as villains and as good guys -- McGoohan was the evil Edward I or "Longshanks" in Mel Gibson's Braveheart as well as the enigmatic Number Six in The Prisoner. Which, it seems, AMC wants to remake. My suggestion is to not do that. Montalban was the affable and somewhat mysterious Mr. Roark, the host of the strange place known as Fantasy Island, and matched William Shatner chewed scene for chewed scene in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
In an interesting anti-Hollywood-stereotype note, both men married once and stayed married to the same woman they'd started with.
