<font color="#0080FF"><b>TrekToday:</b> "How is your health?"</font><br><br>

<font color="#02D1FD"><b>Ricardo Montalban:</b> "My health is excellent. 
However I had an spinal operation that left me paralyzed.  I'll never walk
again."</font><br><br>

<font color="#0080FF"><b>TT:</b> "I'm really sorry to hear
that."</font><br><br>

<font color="#02D1FD"><b>RM:</b> "I'm in constant pain."</font><br><br>

<font color="#0080FF"><b>TT:</b> "Are you taking any medication?"</font><br><br>

<font color="#02D1FD"><b>RM:</b> "No."</font><br><br>

<font color="#0080FF"><b>TT:</b> "Do you have any upcoming
projects?"</font><br><br>

<font color="#02D1FD"><b>RM:</b> "No.  Hollywood does not write parts for
people like me, an elderly gentleman, and when they find out you're crippled,
forget about it.  No, I'll never work again."</font><br><br>

<font color="#0080FF"><b>TT:</b> "Are you still affiliated with <a
href="http://www.nosotros.org/" style="color:#0080FF"
target="_blank">Nosotros</a>?"</font><br><br>

<font color="#02D1FD"><b>RM:</b> "Yes."</font><br><br>

And that's pretty much it!  As I mentioned before, due to the large number
of fans who were in line for Montalban's autograph, I could not ask very
many questions.  I'm just thankful I got to meet him as it was!  I'm really
sorry that he's in such pain though, but for a man who's almost 80 years of
age, he still looks great, and he still has quite a following (as you will
see by one fan's request on the next page).<br><br>
