Tuesday would have been the 89th birthday of the late Mexican-born actor Ricardo Montalban. The pioneering actor- who died last January- was famous for his smooth, accented voice though his true legacy was to help gain better representation of Latinos in the film industry.
The below video comes from his 1959 guest appearance on the game show “I've Got A Secret”. In this funny clip, Montalban has some fun acting out some well-known idioms of the time. (Note how the host refers to Montalban as “Ricky” and how his wardrobe makes him look like an extra on “Mad Men”).
