Ernest Borgnine

Actor;

Born: January 24, 1917; Died: July 8, 2012.

ERNEST Borgnine, who has died aged 95, was one of the best-loved – and most prolific – stars of his day.

A burly, self-deprecating man, he was a versatile actor who was most famous for playing tough guys but he won an Oscar for his extraordinarily touching performance as the eponymous gentle giant in Marty (1955).
