Actor Ernest Borgnine to Receive SAG Award

He's appeared in over 200 movies, has a best-actor Oscar (for Marty, in 1955) and was star of  the 1960s TV series "McHale's Navy."

 

And KYW's Bob Nelson reports that Ernest Borgnine, at age 93, is still going strong.

With this in mind, the Screen Actors Guild has decided to honor  Borgnine (above) with its Lifetime Achievement Award.

Borgnine says he's always tried to keep busy:

"I play everything from Jumbles to...  -- you know, to keep your mind busy -- to reading, to torturing my agent with, 'How about this?  How about that? When do we go to work?'   That's what keeps you young.  If you think old, you get old."

SAG will honor Borgnine with its special award this coming January.
