Oscar-Winning Star Ernest Borgnine Dead at the age of 95

Ernest Borgnine did it all: won an Oscar; killed Frank Sinatra; fought evil in Bikini Bottom; notched one of Hollywood's all-time shortest marriages.

Borgnine, the stocky, no-nonsense actor whose career spanned 60 non-stop years, died Sunday of renal failure, E! News confirms. He was 95.

From Borgnine's manager Lynda Bensky. "It's a very sad day," "The industry has lost someone great, the caliber of which we will never see again. A true icon. But more importantly the world has lost a sage and
loving man who taught us all how to 'grow young'. His infectious smile and chuckle made the world a happier place."

The TV and film star died at about 1:30 p.m. at Cedars-Sinai Hospital surrounded by family members.

His publicist Harry Flynn told the Los Angeles Times that Borgnine went in for a routine checkup on Tuesday—his "95,000-mile checkup," as the actor called it—and it "turned out to be a little more serious than we thought."



May his soul  Rest In Peace....
