Was shocked to see a mid-90s (likely non-US-compliant) Alfa Spyder the other day. I thought, "How come no one designs cars like that anymore?" RIP.

The "Sykes" show is kinda terrible when you see it now - though maybe it was better in the 60s - but what a great guy and great talent RIP

oh yeah, they show it on itv4 or summat like that don't they - watched one a few weeks back where sykes ate cheese and had a nightmare he and hattie were mice. pretty trippy in a grim low budget way...

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oUjmZeacI3I/ShVkZR_Qc7I/AAAAAAAABKs/w9gMsSgFNRE/s400/ebpark1.jpg
I associate him with The Poseidon Adventure more than anything else, even though I know he made more famous films. He was just always there.

I still associate him with McHale's Navy more than anything else

He was married to both Katy Jurado and Ethel Merman, iirc. Not sure of any other spouses, I guess I'll find out now.

Because of my age, I'll forever associate Borgnine with Airwolf. I've seen him in a lot of other things at this point, but I saw him co-piloting a super helicopter first.

For me he's forever linked to The Poseidon Adventure, a flick which continues to unnerve me deeply to this day.
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Monday, 9 July 2012 15:59 (eleven years ago) link
My nextmost vivid memories of Borgnine aside from The Poseidon Adventure are Disney's The Black Hole and Escape From New York. And, of course:

He really did it all.
