    Will his coffin be lined in "Rich Corinthian Leather"?

    Seriously, sorry to learn of this.

    Ah, those were the days when entertainment had considerable more class! Hope he's in a better place.

    I enjoyed Sat nights when I was in Texas watching Fantasy Island.:tear: :tear:

    I'll never forget Khan's line :"I have the strength of ten men!"Maybe that was preceded with something like :"Oh but my dear Captain Kirk..."

    So, the 'Wrath of Khan' is no more; will he now have to face the 'Wrath of God'?

    Seriously, was this guy saved?

    He suffered a back injury in 1951, which troubled him and in 1993 a surgical repair was attempted, unsuccessfully, and he was confined to a wheel chair since then.

    Wikipedia (usual accuracy health-warnings!) tells me he was a practising Catholic. Good enough for me, but others here will doubtless differ....
