He was great in "Battleground" with Van Johnson and James Whitmore ...RIP


Wasn't he the character that was wounded and they left near a jeep while Van Johnson and James Whitmore went for help and returned to find him frozen to death?


An uncle of mine that passed away a few years ago was a life long friend of Ricardo Montalban, having grown up together Mexico City.  I got to meet him a few times when I went to visit my uncle and was very down to Earth and didn't seem to mind a 5 year old bugging him about "Tattoo" and got a chuckle when I thought his name was "Don" because everyone was calling him "Don Ricardo".

   I liked him in whatever he was in.  Lived on Fantasy Island, served a short stint as CO of USS Reliant...not a bad life.
