I know this is stupid, but I really thought he had passed away. I am just glad this great and likeable actor and American is still with us!

Always liked Tim Conway stepping off the pier on the McHale's Navy opening. Classic.

To tell the truth, I did too. I'm actually glad to hear he is still alive and kicking.

"I thought Marty was dead"

So did I, until I just errr, happened to notice he was the voice for one of the characters on a Sponge Bob episode. He played an elderly super hero type, care to guess who his sidekick was? None other then Tim Conway :)

My two favorite episodes were the afore mentioned and the one where all the characters started cursing without cursing :)

Another movie star who served in the Navy during WWII was Tony Curtis. Here's a link to a photo of him in uniform:

Tony Curtis

I was in Washington several years ago doing research at the National Archives. Right across the street is the Navy Memorial. While having lunch at a small shop, I learned that they were having a ceremony at the memorial and that Tony Curtis was going to be there. I ran back to my car and got my camera. I think it was right around cherry blossom time in D.C., and Mr. Curtis was the Grand Marshall for the parade that was going to be taking place. If my memory serves me well, Curtis was on the U.S.S. Missouri when the surrender was signed.

Borgnine is also a former member of the Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee ( CSAC ). They meet four times a year and decide what images will be on our postage stamps.

Hey, he was in a great MST3K movie too.

With the passing of Paul Winfield, I'm glad we still have some of this generation's actors with us. Go Ernest!

He made a great Centurion in "Jesus of Nazareth".

Do I dare look at Tony Curtis in uniform? I don't know. I'm a married woman. The combination of Tony Curtis and military uniform could be hazardous. Well, one little peek can't hurt.

Oh, no! Is it getting warm in here?
