En pie, por favor: Ernst Borgnine
Un honor dedicar el post de hoy a este personaje. Ermes Effron Borgnino nació en Connecticut en 1917, hijo de emigrantes italianos. Después de servir en el ejército durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial empezó a dedicarse al mundo de la interpretación dando sus primeros pasos en el teatro, hasta que en 1951 "De aquí a la eternidad" le dio su primera oportunidad en Hollywood. Desde entonces su carrera no sólo ha sido espectacularmente fecunda sino también reconocida, haciéndose con un óscar por su papel de "Marty" en 1955. Hacer un listado exhaustivo de la multitud de películas y series de TV en que ha participado, y dejado su entrañable impronta sería imposible: "Johnny Guitar", "Demetrio el gladiador", "Veracruz", "Los vikingos", "Barrabás", "Doce del patíbulo", "Grupo salvaje", "La aventura del Poseidón", "Domingo sangriento", "Jesús de Nazaret", "Convoy", "Airwolf", "Gattaca", "Mascarada"... ¡y sigue en activo! Como ya os habreis imaginado, Ernst Borgnine es un hombre de centro-derecha que ha apoyado en varias ocasiones al partido republicano de los EEUU.But there's a new GI Film Festival coming to Washington, DC.
It'll be held in the Ronald Reagan Bldg. and environs in the city Memorial Day Weekend. Gary Sinise, Chuck Norris and Pat Boone will be there.
And John Milius, Ron Maxwell, Ernest Borgnine. Pretty conservative bunch. [...]
"The mission of the GI Film Festival is simple - to celebrate the successes and sacrifices of the American Armed Forces through the medium of film," said GI Film Festival President Brandon Millett. "From the American Revolution through the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, our men and women in uniform have given life and limb in defense of freedom. They deserve our respect and our undying gratitude. And that is exactly what we plan to show them this Memorial Day weekend."
The GI Film Festival's Hollywood Advisory Committee includes Academy Award winning Actor Ernest Borgnine (From Here to Eternity, McHale's Navy), Actor Chuck Norris (Delta Force, Missing in Action), Academy Award nominated Director John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Director/Screenwriter Ron Maxwell (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals), Director John Dahl (The Great Raid), Executive Producer Lou Reda (Vietnam: Homecoming) and Dr. Ted Baehr, publisher of Movieguide.
