Two Passings



This is where I put on my sad face, because two of my favorite people have died today.

1) Patrick McGoohan, who won't see AMC's "The Prisoner" miniseries now.

2) Ricardo Montalban, who was every inch the gentleman and not above poking fun at himself.

These things are usually in threes. I shudder to think who Number 3 will be.

McGoohan was a shoo-in for cool, edgy style.

Montalban, for me growing up, had been that guy on Fantasy Island. Then "Wrath of Khan" came out and a whole different side was exposed to me. Sauve, yes, but with a definite dark side when needed.

I think was Eartha Kitt would be #1 of this "3 celebrity death" series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5VaBgXzuM

Actually, Eartha Kitt is #3 of the "Kick-Ass Women Trio Of December 2008 Passings".
Bettie "Pin-Up Queen Of The Universe" Page and Majel "Lady Trek" Roddenberry are #1 and #2 respectively.
