Is Ernest Borgnine Still Alive?

October 15, 2010

Some of the conversations over the circulation desk require a little research. For example, "Isn't Ernest Borgnine dead?". Upon further investigation, no Ernest Borgnine is not dead. He is being honored next year by the Screen Actors Guild for his Lifetime Achievement. At the age of 93, his career has been described as a hidden treasure in Hollywood. You'll recognize his gap-toothed mug if you checkout From Here to Eternity, Marty, Poseidon Adventure or McHale's Navy, and you'll hear his voice as Mermaid Man on SpongeBob SquarePants. Last but not least, and this is where the conversation began, he's in the "just out this weekend" movie, Red, starring Bruce Willis. Is he dead? And the conversations and the investigations continue... Have a great weekend!
