Ernest Borgnine, best

known for Academy

award-winning role of a butcher in ‘Marty’, passed away due to kidney failure. He was 95.

Borgnine died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center here surrounded by his family. The former member of US Navy is survived by his fifth wife Tova Traesnaes, and his children Christofer, Nancee and Sharon Borgnine, a stepson David Johnson, six grandchildren, and his sister Evelyn Verlardi, reported Ace Showbiz.

“It’s a very sad day. The industry has lost someone great, the caliber of which we will never see again. A true icon. But more importantly, the world has lost a sage and loving man who taught us all how to ‘grow young’,” his manager Lynda Bensky said.

Borgnine was the son of Italian immigrants and the grandson of Count Paolo Boselli. He served in the Navy until 1945 before pursuing an acting career.

He starred in a number of big and small-screen projects including 1960’s series “McHale’s Navy” as Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale and famous children series “SpongeBob SquarePants” as the Mermaid Man. But it was his role in “Marty” that brought him to prominence.

Fellow celebrities were quick to tweet condolence messages upon hearing the sad news. (PTI)
