SCREEN LEGEND ERNEST BORGNINE DEAD AT 95

 Ernest Borgnine


Ernest Borgnine, who won a Oscar in the best-actor category  for playing a lovesick butcher in "Marty" in 1955, died today. He was 95. His spokesperson said he died of Renal Failure.

Most of us from the 60's and 70's, remember Borgnine for his crazy antics of the hit television show McHales Navy. The showed aired from 1962 to 1966, but remained for many years on the syndication circuit. A whole generation grew up with the show.


Borgnine's longest marriage was to Tova Traesnaes. He married Tova in 1973, and this was his last marriage. 

Another legend has been lost.
