ReplyDeleteR.I.P. Mr. Borgnine.
Ernest Borgnine... one of the greats and a true class act. Loved him in The Black Hole and The Poseidon Adventure where his performance was outstanding. RIP.
ReplyDeleteAh, darn this is the first time that I am hearing about this :(
ReplyDeleteIt was always a treat to see Borgnine in anything. He will be missed by his fans.
One of the greatest actors that the old studio system has ever produced. He was brilliant and outstanding in every role he had played in. Whether it was the General in The Dirty Dozen, the Russian saboteur in Ice Station Zebra, or the old outlaw in The Wild Bunch, he always gave a remarkable and memorable performance.
ReplyDeleteErnie, thanks for the memories. You will be sadly missed. God Bless you, sir.
