HOLLYWOOD (CNS) - Flowers will be placed today on the Hollywood Walk of Fame star honoring Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine, who died of apparent kidney failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles over the weekend at the age of 95.

``For six decades, Ernie entertained us with an impressive body of work and, at the age of 95, he continued to have a remarkably busy life and career,'' said Ken Howard, co-president of the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA. ``We will genuinely miss his smile and generous, joyous spirit.'' 

SAG-AFTRA noted that Borgnine, who died Sunday, was honored with the 47th Annual Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2010 for career achievement and humanitarian accomplishment. He served on the SAG Board of Directors from April to November 1962 and again from November 1974 to November 1977.
