City Council President Eric Garcetti announced this morning that actor Ricardo Montalbán died today at home in his district, surrounded by family. Montalban was 88, according to Garcetti, who made the announcement at the Los Angeles City Council meeting. The Mexican-born actor's first U.S. screen credit was in 1942 with Five Were Chosen, "a story of Yugoslav villagers trying to free five of their citizens held hostage by the Nazis during World War II." Fairfax High School claims Montalban as a famous alum. IMDb listing, Wikipedia entry
