Suave, debonair and immaculately groomed, they don't make them like Ricardo Montalban anymore. This 1975 commercial shows him at the top of his ultra-cool form. And he really was a cultural icon back in the day -- not only was "rich Corinthian leather" a Johnny Carson punchline for years, but he was the inspiration for one of SNL's best early skits (IMHO). Reports are that he was just as gallant off the screen as on. So to answer the age-old question, quien es mas macho, Lloyd Bridges or Ricardo Montalban? -- es Ricardo Montalban, claro que si. R.I.P.
