A belated and melancholy happy trails to Academy Award winning actor Ernest Borgnine, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 94. Those who remember Borgnine as the scheming but lovable Lt. Commander Quentin McHale of the 1960's sitcom "McHale's Navy" would be in for a shock if they tune into two of Ernie's better known movie roles in "From Here to Eternity" and "Bad Day at Black Rock". Lovable - no; despicable - yes; well acted - absolutely! Borgnine also won a Best Actor Academy Award in 1955 for playing against type in "Marty".
Turner Classic Movies will be doing a 24 hour Borgnine Tribute Marathon on July 26.
RIP "Skipper" Ernest Borgnine.
