Offscreen Notes
Ernest Borgnine: 1917-2012
I must admit to being one of those people who in the past had prematurely thought of Borgnine as being dead. Well, life has caught up. One of the greatest American character actors ever has passed away at the age of 95 on July 8, 2012. His list of film roles is as long (over 200 films) as it is impressive. My favorite of his standout performances include From Here to Eternity (he’s the guy that beat the stuffing out of Sinatra), Marty, The Wild Bunch, Dirty Dozen, Willard, and I briganti italiani, RIP Ernest.
