Film Icons: Ernest Borgnine

Zap 2 It

The younger generation might remember Ernest Borgnine as that really old guy who got an Emmy Award nomination back in 2009 for his work on ER (he was 92 at the time). Eighties kids might remember him for his role as Dominic Santini, the helicopter pilot on the show Airwolf. The parents of those eighties kids might remember him as 1955's BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Academy Award winner for the film Marty. It doesn't matter where you remember him from. The important thing is you remember him at all. You should at least realize that Ernest Borgnine's name is synonymous with acting, so that your team gets a point if his name comes up while playing Cranium or something.




Ermes Effron Borgnino (no, he is not related to Zac Efron or Nora Ephron). 24 January 1917─8 July 2012.
