[QUOTE="Zable, post: 107729, member: 47"] I'm at a loss figuring out what you mean. Are you wanting to know if there's more back story? About what/whom? Ricardo? What kind of back story? Stuff like this?.... The The Colbys scene where Zack chats with Adrienne in his hotel is RM sorta spoofing the SNL spoof of himself, Fernando Lamas and Cesar Romero in their [I]I Am Ricardo Montalban![/I] episode. The set-up – a bar where they're at & a problem to be solved – and the ending celebratory moments of both acts are similar, just that on The Colbys the interaction is between one couple, not three & the topic is entirely different. RM also channels a bit of his Mr Rourke of Fantasy Island persona here. Speaking of Cesar Romero (Falcon Crest’s Peter Stavros), the actor guest-starred in the [I]Charlie Chan at Treasure Island[/I] movie of 1939; which was directed by Norman Foster. ….The movie also guest-starred Foster’s wife, Sally Blane; who became RM’s sister-in-law a few years later when RM married her youngest sister, Georgie. ….But before RM met Georgie, Foster had directed RM in the Mexican movie that elevated RM to rising star in his homeland, [I]Santa[/I]. …Let’s just say that [I]Santa[/I] ends with flowers being placed on a grave, though it’s some other things that might have some TC viewers going “ah-ha!” – such as, a note received when drinking/dining out in a fancy place, culminating in a private bad-news meeting with 2 others. ,,,,,Also, TC's Georgina Sinclair of the New York Ballet Company is the 'embodiment' of the 2 women felt to be closest to RM: his wife Georgie (full name Georgiana), a child actress who had modelled in NY before marriage & the dancer-actress Cyd Charisse, who first trained in ballet and began her dance career with Russian ballet corps. Nana Visitor, who played Georgina Sinclair, is the niece of Nico Charisse, Cyd's ex-husband.
