This is the final scene from Marty, a beautifully simple film that won the Best Picture Oscar for 1955. Ernest Borgnine plays the title role of a "fat and ugly" thirty-something butcher who is seeking love to cure his loneliness. One night he meets a nondescript girl named Clara at a dance. They both like each other's company, but Marty's possessive mother dislikes her because she fears her son will marry Clara and leave her household. Marty's friends dismiss Clara as "a dog" because of her plainness. The final scene is uplifting: Marty learns to follow his heart regardless of what others think of him.

It has been reported that Oscar-winning actor Ernest Borgnine has died at the age of 95. Renal failure was the cause of death. Borgnine usually played tough characters, but he won his Oscar in 1955 for the title role of Marty, a gentle-hearted butcher who fears he will never find true love because he is unattractive. The movie was made on a small $350,000 budget but became something of a beloved classic. While Borgnine admitted the Oscar did wonders for his acting career, it may have also indirectly led him into disastrous marriages, including one to Ethel Merman which lasted only a month.

On June 27, 1964, 47-year-old Hollywood star Ernest Borgnine and 56-year-old stage star Ethel Merman were wed. However, within five weeks they had separated. Within five months they were divorced. What went so terribly wrong? According to an interview Borgnine gave late in his life, an overseas honeymoon was a disaster. Everyone recognized the Oscar-winning Hollywood actor, but few recognized Merman whose fame did not generally extend into Europe. Merman became upset by this and took out her anger on her new husband. The two began fighting...and that was the end of the couple's brief union. In Merman's autobiography she devoted a chapter to her marriage to Borgnine. It consisted of one blank page.
