His parents were Charles and Anna Borgnine, who immigrated from Carpi, a small town in Northern Italy at the turn of the century.

He stayed in the Navy for ten years and returned home in still undecided about a career.

Ernest Borgnine, who has just died at the age of 95, certainly fitted the bill. The crumpled cheeks, the gap in the teeth, the stocky physique to match; it was all so memorably unattractive that he was nicknamed ‘Mr Ugly’, but he didn’t let that hold him back. ‘You don’t have to be tall, dark and handsome to be a movie star,’ he used to say, ‘but I was the first one to prove it.’ He also proved that you did not have to have orthodox looks to get the girl.

27 Haziran in Hollywood by admin If anybody had told Pharmacist’s Mate First Class Rhoda Kemins that the sailor lying in her surgical ward at the Brooklyn Navy Yard would someday make her the wife of an Academy Award Winner First Class, she would have burst out laughing, long and loud. Because to her he was just another serviceman. The wards were full of sailors in those days of World War II. They came and went.

Ernie: The Autobiography
I got to see this firsthand at the book signing where I purchased this book — yes, mine is an autographed copy — as he charmed the HUGE group of people that came to see him and a playing of his movie Marty. He told stories that made them laugh and smile and FEEL. Then, with great patience and good humor, he signed books for a great long line of people, long past what I myself could have endured, until the last few people got their chance to chat with him, pose with him for photos, and have their books signed. It took HOURS, and a
