Ernest Borgnine | 1917-2012

Ernest Borgnine's career spanned more than five decades and included such memorably disparate characters as the cruel "Fatso" Judson in "From Here to Eternity" and the carefree con artist of ABC's "McHale's Navy." In a 1996 interview with The Times, Borgnine said he considered himself "a working stiff who enjoys his work."
