HAPPY BIRTHDAY

JEFFREY HUNTER (1926 - 1969)


RICARDO MONTALBAN (1920 - 2000) with wife Georgiana

The Montalbans shared one of the most charming love stories in Hollywood history. The stories vary slightly -- some versions have him falling in love with her photo in a magazine, and Ricardo himself writes of first spotting her in The Story of Alexander Graham Bell (1939) and at a distance at the Church of the Good Shepherd. What is certain is that Ricardo happened to meet Georgiana's sister and brother-in-law, Sally Blane and Norman Foster, when Foster was directing movies in Mexico, and a meeting with Georgiana was arranged. The Montalbans married just days after that first meeting, a marriage which lasted until Georgiana's death over 63 years later."

Thank you for the info Fossy, which was very interesting.
