Another old great fades into memories.
Ernest Borgnine, dead at age 95. My first memory of him was staring in McHale's Navy, some 45 years ago. Hawaiian hat and shirt, water-skiing behind a PT boat, with a beer in hand. That did have just a little influence on me joining the Navy. Well, that and the fact that I did like the Navy uniform.... Then they gave me one.
A very highly talented ICON from years gone by. He left his mark on the motion picture industry, and on those of us that remember seeing him. There were times when I went to see a movie. Didn't know a lot about the movie itself, but with Earnest Borgnine in it, it had to be a good one.
