Rolling RIP/Obituary Thread 2012

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

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

tova! guess you didn't used to read the national enquirer.

Morbius is right, how could I forget--he's really scary in From Here to Eternity.

"My Linda! Ya killed her! The only thing I ever loved!"

RIP Mermaid Man ;_;

Tova was on QVC just the other day.

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.

jesus, i LOVED that dopey supercop movie balls linked to up there, as a kid.

Borgnine was in a LOT of great shit, kinda bummed he hasn't gotten his own RIP thread. :(

anyway RIP Ernie

You have the power.

For me he's forever linked to The Poseidon Adventure, a flick which continues to unnerve me deeply to this day.

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.

(I'll wait for Ned to bring up Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders.)

His Ruth and Stengel biographies are two of my favourite baseball books; the long segment in Baseball where he describes Jackie Robinson walking and then going on to score a run is a highlight.

yeah, those books are essential.

Tom Davis!

I knew Davis had been ill a long while (Dennis Perrin met up with him several times recently).
