Ernie Borgnine Is 95 Today

Above, Ernest Borgnine during his days on the PT-73 on "McHale's Navy."

A favorite actor is 95 years old today.

From IMDB:

Ernest Borgnine, was born Ermes Effron Borgnino on January 24, 1917, in Hamden, Connecticut. His parents were Charles who had emigrated from Ottiglio (AL), Italy and Anna who had emigrated from Carpi (MO), Italy.


One of my favorite shows from the 1960s is McHale's Navy. Thanks to the wonders of the This Network, I am able to watch McHale's Navy all over again.

Borgnine was also the jailer "Fatso" in From Here To Eternity who beat Frank Sinatra to death.

A big happy birthday to Ernest Borgnine!

McHale's Navy?????

Who cares?

"Escape from New York" is more like it.

Let's not forget his wonderful performance in Marty for which he won the best actor Oscar.
