RIP Ernest Borgnine

Intru pe imdb randomly in timp ce ascultam Funeral For A Friend (la fel de alaetor), de Elton John din 1973. Si vad ca tocmai s-a dus si Ernest Borgnine ! Man ! Avea 95 de ani si abia jucase intr-un nou film, The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez. Peste 200 la activ, Tv cu McHale's Navy si Airwolf...The last cast member of From Here to Eternity. Oscar pentru Marty (1955), an unlikely leading man. Insurat de 5 ori, memorii in 2008: "Ernie: An Autobiography".

De cind imi amintesc filme ii stiu fata, ochii si zimbetul lui Ernest Borgnine. la fel ca Martin Balsam, Jack Palance, si Eli Wallach (96 de ani!-god forbid, Tuco !) n-a jucat prea multi eroi romantici....

dar e de neuitat in Bad Day at Black Rock, Vera Cruz, Barabbas, Vikingii, The Dirty Dozen, Ice Station Zebra, The Wild Bunch, Aventura lui Poseidon, Emperor of The North, Flight of The Phoenix, Escape from New York...man's man movies...in my childhood High Risk (first videos), Poliziotto superpiù (Superpolitistul-Superfuzz), Nimic nou pe frontul de vest de TV vazut la cinema Cosmos din Bv, si centurionul din Iisus din Nazareth!!!!
no more heroes anymore ?
