Montalban died Wednesday morning at his home in Los Angeles of complications related to old age, said his son-in-law, Gilbert Smith. Inside the show, Montalban was widely respected for his efforts to create opportunities for Latinos, although he and others believed that his activism hurts his career. In 1970, he founded the nonprofit Foundation us to improve the image and increase the employment of Latinos in Hollywood. He was 88. Ricardo Montalban, the suave leading man who was one of the first players born Mexican to make it big in Hollywood and who is best known for her role as Mr. Roarke on TV Fantasy Island , is dead.
