Sadly, EB passed away today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Borgnine Edited by mehaul (Sun Jul 08 2012 04:59 PM) _________________________ "...Tomorrow's come a long way to help you."

mehaul Multiloquent Registered: Wed Feb 03 2010 Posts: 3742 Loc: Florida USA	His desire to kill the Emperor was truly believable. "The Emperor of the North" (as it is also known) is one of my favorite movies. It is the tale of a train hopping hobo (Lee Marvin) and the efforts by the train security agent (EB) to not just get him off his train, but to end the hobo's life and legend. LM and EB did their own moving train fight stunts, too. Edited by mehaul (Mon Jul 09 2012 05:43 PM) _________________________ "...Tomorrow's come a long way to help you."

tjoebigham Multiloquent Registered: Sat Dec 25 1999 Posts: 2302 Loc: Fairhaven Massachusetts USA	I remember seeing Borgnine in "Poseidon Adventure" back in 1972; I think that was the only time I saw him on the big screen. The man really made a lot of movies, didn't he? He also starred in the "Airwolf" TV series, played Vince Lombardi in a TV-movie, co-starred with Joan Crawford ("Johnny Guitar"), Lee Marvin ("Dirty Dozen"), and Bette Davis ("Bunny O'Hare") among others, and even voiced a character on the "Spongebob Squarepants" cartoon series! tjoeb};> Edited by tjoebigham (Sun Jul 22 2012 09:43 AM)

What a sense of humor! Edited by mehaul (Mon Jul 23 2012 03:19 PM) _________________________ "...Tomorrow's come a long way to help you."
