Before Mr. Roarke, there was Armando (here along with Roddy McDowell)

[weatherman90]

I loved him in The Naked Gun. Now both Ricardo and Robert Goulet are gone, they both played villains in the series.

Perhaps just before there are new arrivals in heaven, he will be asked to announce: "Smiles, everyone! Smiles!"

Ahem, I'm going to swallow my pride long enough to admit that I am old enough for the Chrysler Cordoba to have been my dream car in high school. I'm not quite sure when the last of those beauties rolled off the assembly line, but it was a tearfull day indeed. I remember twitching with anticipation waiting until I was old enough to get my driver's license so that maybe, just maybe, my mom would buy a used one for me -- with or without the "fine Corinthian leather". But alas, it was not to be.

Loved that show.
