🍳 Ernest Borgnine Picture Game 🍺
Everywhere he went in America, be it in a lorry, in a truck, or on board a tractor, people used to stop Ernest Borgnine to say hello. Some would even ask to take a picture.
Back in Hamden, Connecticut, people once complained that the local council wasn't looking after Ernest Borgnine Park and that it was getting covered in litter, so they took matters in to their own hands and cleaned the place up.
Who are some of the various icons in their respective fields who you have seen pictured over the years with Ernest Borgnine?
Ernest Borgnine, First Lady Nancy Reagan, Tova Traesnaes & President Ronald Reagan
Thanks!

Wow, that's amazing. I did not know that. Amazing get-up as always, what with the pink face, white magic gloves, tartan jacket, Freddy Krueger-Minnie The Minx variation t-shirt and Chaplinesque hat.

What a picture.
Ernest Borgnine played legendary football coach, Coach Vince Lombardi, in the television movie 'Legend In Granite' (1973). Here he is with running back Jim Brown who's in the NFL (National Football League) Hall Of Fame.

She was as fiery as he was. They said he adored her and they were the most fun people to be around.

And seen here with another of the world's greatest crooners, a man who apparently helped him settle upon a title for his memoirs ('I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire, I Just Want To Keep My Nuts Warm') ...
Frank Sinatra
"As a child of Italian immigrants who joined the navy, served throughout the war and became an actor only because his mother suggested it, Ernie Borgnine has good reason to be amazed at his achievements - not least the Oscar he won as the eponymous lovable butcher in 'Marty'. However, he is breezily self-deprecating about it all, and his menacing image belies an unfailing good nature.
He is not a man much given to introspection. The nearest he comes to it is the occasional passage of homely wisdom - about the need to cherish one's parents ('When they're gone, there won't be anyone to take their place') or the dangers of tobacco (he's a reformed chain-smoker).
Nor does he delve too deeply into the characters of the myriad stars who flash across the pages of this amiable and thoroughly readable memoir. Susan Hayward 'was a doll', Shelley Winters was 'the damnedest woman', Kirk Douglas 'was - and still is - a prince of a guy'. Some of his co-stars were drunks - among them William Holden, Montgomery Clift, Alan Ladd and Natalie Wood. Some of them died of it. But Ernie ascribes no blame, merely sympathy.
He doesn't even have a bad word for his third wife, Ethel Merman, who left him during their honeymoon because she discovered he was more famous than her. 'Something about my manner,' he writes, 'makes a lot of what I say seem good-natured.'
For 'a lot' read 'everything'."
- Christopher Matthew, The Daily Mail

I can’t even imagine how insanely unpleasant and loud the Ernest Borgnine/Ethel Merman household must have been to have their marriage end after five months. That would actually make a great Broadway play.
