Ernest Borgnine: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

Harry Flynn Dept: His longtime spokesman, Harry Flynn, told The Associated Press that Borgnine died of renal failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with his wife and children at his side, according to Vancouver Sun. Then came Marty, a low-budget film based on a Paddy Chayefsky television play that starred Rod Steiger. Borg-nine played a 34-year-old who fears he is so unattractive he will never find romance. Then, at a dance, he meets a girl with the same fear and ernest Borgnine, the beefy screen star known for blustery, often villainous roles, but who won the best-actor Oscar for playing against type as a lovesick butcher in Marty in 1955, died Sunday. He was 95. Borgnine, who endeared himself to a generation of baby boomers with the 1960s TV comedy McHale's Navy, first attracted notice in the early 1950s in villain roles, notably as the vicious Fatso Judson, who beat Frank Sinatra to death in From Here to Eternity.
