Many years ago I was driving a taxi and a man stepped off the kerb and hailed me. It was Ernie, he was holidaying in the city I live in. He was with his wife, I took them to their hotel. What an amazing experience. This lovely man with his wonderful smiling kind face and nature.

Pure class. Thank you Mr. Borgnine.

Ernie was also (a friend who founded Brittania Lodge in NY told me this) a Mason! He and fellow actor Royal Dano were very strong advocates of a Masonic float in the Rose Bowl Parade. I don't know if that float ever happened - but I know that Mr. Borgnine had a lifelong history with the Masons. He was devoted to his community and, civic minded.

Who remembered him in High Risk? Or Escape from New York?

I WILL ALWAYS BE THANKFUL FOR THE PHOTOS WITH AUTHOGRAPH OF ERNEST.❤

Is this the emmys or oscars

Well deserving. RIP Ernie!

So deserving, a brilliant man🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

As a kid growing up in the '80s, I was absolutely mesmerized by the show "Airwolf" (still am, actually 😁). I always thought that Mr. Borgnine was the ultimate buddy/father figure. It wasn't until afterwards, I discovered the rest of his (IMPRESSIVE) body of work. RIP, Ernie. We love you & will continue to do so forever

Pour moi c'était et ça reste un mythe du cinéma.. Il inspirait gentillesse et respect......

Ernie was more than an actor. He was far more than any screen character he performed. Ernie was a MAN..A REAL MAN. A proud veteran. A humble, kind, considerate human being. He never forgot his roots or the common man. Long after he has risen with the angels. Long after his films are forgotten, Ernie as a square deal American will be remembered. What a guy!! God Bless, Marty!!

Wow you could hear a pin drop when Ernie started talking.

He looked so handsome, dignified and elegant. Well deserved.

Didn't realize that's who he was up against when he won the oscar

Marty is still one of the best movies ever made... It's about having enough confidence in yourself to make an active decision in your life

as an aussie even though i was only 6 when he died i felt alone and i almost cried while watching (im 14 ) and such a humbled gentle man and would of loved to of met him rest easy ernie my idol for acting

He was a great man. Enough said.

Mchales navy my favorite military show

He always struck me as A Guy.

Re-SPECT!

I remember this.

Amazing clarity at his age he was blessed and blessed others in his travels

Nearly every man and woman in that room will never accomplish nor amount to the same quality of person that the decent Ernest Borgnine amounted to. And that at the age of 90-something he could walk up to those steps and speak with such humble clarity is the best gift he could give to everyone. A treasure to be sure.

Now your beautiful Tova will join you, may you both RIP forever. You will be missed eternally.

I love that s guy. But gene hackman is the greatest of all time

Ernie just showed class and elogence, something those bums in the audience don't have.

Why didn't Jan Michael Vincent look up to him?

they forgot- he was brilliant in Gattaca as a cleaner. He brought a whole pathos to the movie even if it was only 2-3 minutes. Its an outstanding movie you must see!!

at work there is a chap who looks EXACTLY like him...without the smile. I always accidentally talk like Cagney around him. Its just me, I'm aspergers syndrome.

One of the best actors up there next to Charleston Heston

You go Mermaid Man 💪🏻

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy UNITE 😭

My hero I wish I could be able to have met Mr B❤️🇺🇸

They don’t make actors like these anymore. Today, most are left-wing snowflakes fakes that are always telling people how to think.

Perfect speech. Modest and grateful, rare in these times.

remember class?

Ernie has visited every single Veterans Hospital in the USA

Unbelievable guy! The best of the best! R.I.P. Ernest.

RIP Ernest. Thanks for so many memories over the years. God Bless you sir. 🙏❤

Great American True Legend GodBless Thanks for all Memories they don’t make them like Ernie anymore ❤️🙏

Can a man believe getting that close to babe of a lifetime, Grace Kelly? There was nor will there ever be a more beautiful women this world has ever seen. IMO. And there have been some pretty ones.

The only thing that needs to be said about Ernest Borgnine is that he was the best of the Greatest Generation that saved the world and after that, he became one of the greatest actors of all time.

One of the greatest actor's of all time. And just a great everyday guy. I served him ice cream at his local Farm Shop

His marriage to Ethel Merman seemed to be very short-lived.

ahh man just love him so much. what a gem...miss you my friend.

When actors really cared.
