Ricardo Montalban. Sad news. He seemed to hold out for roles that didn't demean the minority experience. RIP.

Hi there BettyJoan. It wasn't Mercedes McCambridge, but an actress named Katherine Emery. She also appeared in the atmospheric Karloff film: "ISLE OF THE DEAD." She was buried alive in that film.

Aaaah, it's the lovely Virginia McKenna that interests me. I believe she played the Mom in Gwyneth Paltrow's "Sliding Doors." "Born Free" of course. She was lovely.
