Ernest Borgnine: film #199!

One of the great privileges of my life was the opportunity to work with the Academy Award-winning actor Ernest Borgnine. Not only was he one of the friendliest and most supportive actors I've come across, he is at the age of 91 more alive and young-feeling than I am. Check out his interview on ABC (see link above for video).

We worked together last summer on a film called Another Harvest Moon, and it was the 199th film in his career. To put that in perspective - Anthony Hopkins has made half as many films in his career. Ernest loves to still go from film to film - not taking much time off in his 60 year career. Earlier last year he did a western where his stunt-double had to fall off a horse!

Here is one of my images of Anne Meara and Ernest Borgnine from Another Harvest Moon (as feature on their website).

Well he has written an autobiography - and you should check it out. Ernie: The Autobiography - his life is a fascinating one.
