Tributes and Memories
A Gentleman from Mexico
(A Tribute to Ricardo Montalban)
by Jeffrey Lu

Ricardo Montalban,
a gentleman from Mexico,
Was Mr. Roarke from "Fantasy Island"
To Khan Noonien Singh
from the movie "Star Trek II."
He is now gone.

He is a gentleman from Mexico
Who shows not only talent
With his style and voice
But also with his head
And his heart
In theaters, movies, and home.

Ricardo Montalban,
A gentleman from Mexico,
Is knighted for his Catholic faith.
He is awarded an Emmy and life achievement.
He is forever remembered to Star Trek fans as "Khan!"
In Memory of Ricardo Montalban


The last time I saw him was in a wheelchair. I was at a Star Trek convention in 1990s in which Mr. Montalban made his first appearance. Strange, but the crowd was giving one great Star Trek villain, a standing ovation. He smiled and waved.

I had waited a few hours in line to get his autograph. Ricardo was generous and kind to all comers. He was a gentleman. Star Trek lost a great actor- Jeffrey Lu.
