Ernest Borgnine

Even though he was a famous actor, everyone will best know him from a kids show as an old, senile underwater superhero...including me

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

Ernest Borgnine, like many character actors, had quite a varied career:

Academy Award winner for Marty



Capt. Quentin McHale in the hit TV series McHale's Navy



Dutch in The Wild Bunch



The Devil in The Devil's Rain

^For people born in the 90's and afterward, maybe.

Otherwise, no.

Tony Scott (director of Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cops II, Enemy of the State, The Taking of Pelham 123, Unstoppable, etc; and Ridley Scott's brother) committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. Very sad news, but I am somewhat interested in his reasons behind it.

EDIT: Apparently Scott had inoperable brain cancer, and from what I've heard, it is a very slow and painful death.

Phyllis Diller died in her sleep on Monday.

[mwm1444A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.]

Reports are in that muppeteer Jerry Nelson died last night, after a long illness, aged 78.

If you want clarification, you'll know his voice from the Count, Gobo Fraggle, Floyd Pepper, the Trash Heap, Robin the Frog, Camilla (the chicken), etc.

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, died Saturday, weeks after heart surgery and days after his 82nd birthday.

Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, and he radioed back to Earth the historic news of "one giant leap for mankind." He spent nearly three hours walking on the moon with fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.

Armstrong and hiw wife, Carol, married in 1999, made their home in the Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill, but he had largely stayed out of public view in recent years.

He spoke at Ohio State University during a February event honoring fellow astronaut John Glenn and the 50th anniversary of Glenn becoming the first American to orbit the Earth. In May, Armstrong joined Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, at Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida to support the opening of The National Flight Academy, which aims to teach math and science to kids through an aviation-oriented camp.

^This is really sad news as Armstrong made an acheivement that will always be in the history books. I'm surprised that this isn't on the news that much. A lot of people that I told that Neil Armstrong died, they said "WHAT! That was never on the news!"
