Ernest Borgnine

:-( - he leaves behind a gorgeous wife Tova whom I'm sure is devastated. He was an incredible actor who gave us some great classic performances.

Yup,another one bites the dust. With Andy Griffith that makes 2 down I wonder who the 3RD one will be, they usually die in threes. Will certainly miss both of them, thank goodness for reruns.

Perhaps he's not so well known in the USA, but I counted Eric Sykes as number 2 -- he died last Tuesday.
Ernie is number 3.

Didn't know about Eric being #2 so there was 3. Don't know wy but it is very often that they go in 3's.
