Ricardo Montalban was known for his many film and television roles, especially as Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island. He will also be remembered for his love of rich Corinthian leather. But mostly, we will all remember Montalban for playing the titular Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. But I think my fondest memory of Montalban will be his appearances in Escape From the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. I just really liked that circus guy. Montalban was 88 years old.
Patrick McGoohan was also a veteran of television, starring in Danger Man (aka Secret Agent) in the 1960s. Following that, he produced and starred in The Prisoner, a series that has become a cult classic due to the sheer insanity of being chased down a beach by an evil balloon. Later, McGoohan went on to guest star in a record four episodes of Columbo, and also directed a number of episodes. McGoohan's last prominent role was as Edward Longshanks in Mel Gibson's Braveheart. McGoohan was 80 years old.
