For more than 50 years, Ernest – or ‘ Ernie’ as he’ s known to his friends – has been one of the most recognised, celebrated stars in Hollywood, as well as a respected, talented actor and a living legend. From his childhood as the son of Italian immigrants to a spectacular career that is still thriving in his 91st year, from the early days of live TV to voiceovers for The Simpsons and SpongeBob SquarePants, he tells us of the trials on his road to fame, friendships shared with other silver screen stars, and the glamorous leading ladies he loved.
From tough guys to sensitive roles, he has squared off against formidable actresses, such as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and recalls here stories about cinema’ s greatest icons including Spencer Tracy, James Stewart, Kirk Douglas, Montgomery Clift, Gary Cooper, Janet Leigh, Raquel Welch, Gene Hackman. Rock Hudson, Burt Lancaster and many more. And with characteristic frankness, he also talks about his off-screen loves and passions.
Filled with secrets, well-remembered details and stories that have never been heard before, this is a fascinating memoir of a star who has endeared himself to legions of fans everywhere.

‘ (Borgnine’ s) anecdotes are gleefully self-deprecating… he comes off as the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with’ The New York Post
