I seem to be the bearer of sad news today, but Star Trek's "Khan" has passed away, aged 88.Richard will also be remembered for his T.V. role in "Fanatsy Island".

I do hope the "stars stop going out" for a while - but, they do say that things happen in threes.........

Richard is making his final Star Trek.....

He made possible William Shatner's defining moment as an actor:

Not to drift from the subject, but I always liked him in the tv show Fantasy Island.

Montalban, McGoohan, Bettie Page...too many at the same time. All icons in their own way.
As long as we talk about them and enjoy their work, they will still live. That's the best we can ask for.

R.I.P to them all,

Claus.
