Un mito. Una leggenda del cinema. 94 anni e non sentirli.

Ernest Borgnine
Figlio di emigranti italiani (padre di Ottiglio, Alessandria e madre di Carpi, Modena) nasce e cresce nel Connecticut.
Ha più di sessant’anni di carriera sulle spalle, e questo dopo dieci anni in Marina con tanto di Guerra Mondiale parte II. Premi su entrambe le sponde dell’Atlantico, è uno dei volti più noti del cinema.

Dopo la guerra inizia nel 1949 a Broadway con delle parti sempre più importanti, e nel 1951 si trasferisce a Los Angeles dove inizia a lavorare nel cinema e non smetterà più.

Adora l’Italia, parla un italiano da zio d’America e come caratterista è tra i più amati.
Tra i mille ruoli di caratterista ricordiamo:

Memorable quotes:

[quote]Ernest on his $5,000 salary for playing the eponymous lead in Marty (1955), which won him a Best Actor Oscar: “…I would have done it for nothing.”[/quote]

[quote]Ernest on his marriage to Ethel Merman: “Biggest mistake of my life. I thought I was marrying Rosemary Clooney.”[/quote]

[quote]Ernest on Women’s Rights: “They tried it the wrong way. You can’t expect anyone to take you seriously if you burn your undies and tell me I’m a pig. That’s why it failed. Too many ugly broads telling me that they don’t want to sleep with me. Who wanted you anyway?” (Mito!!! NdB)[/quote]

[quote]Ernest on drugs: “No, I’ve never done anything. At least, not to my knowledge. I once took a bunch of goofballs by accident. They looked like candy. They were in a little bowl at a party. I grabbed a handful and went to town. That was some New Years Eve. I didn’t have a coherent thought till February.”[/quote]

Per finire una chicca: il nostro appare in Forever Young degli Aplhaville. Forever. Young.

Coolness

p.s. si, le traduzioni italiane dei titoli dei film sono qualcosa di terrificante…
