Photograph signed: "Loud regards-/Richard Thomas" and "Best Wishes/Ernest/Borgnine", B/w 7½x9½. Shown in a scene from the 1979 television movie All Quiet on the Western Front. In 1955, Ernest Borgnine (1917-2012) proved his versatility in the film version of Paddy Chayefsky's acclaimed television play Marty. Borgnine's moving portrayal earned him an Oscar, a British Academy award, a Cannes Festival award and an award from both the New York Film Critics and the National Board of Review. In 1962, he was cast in the role that most baby boomers best remember him for: Quinton McHale in the sitcom McHale's Navy. During the 1960s and 1970s, Borgnine appeared in many films, including The Dirty Dozen (1966), Ice Station Zebra (1968) and The Wild Bunch (1969). Following the demise of McHale's Navy, the actor continued his busy career. Notable features include The Poseidon Adventure (1972) and Law and Disorder (1974). Borgnine earned an Emmy at age 92 for his work on ER. In 1971, Richard Thomas, born in New York City in 1951, was cast as John-Boy Walton in the Earl Hamner-scripted TV movie, The Homecoming. Though there would be a number of cast changes before The Homecoming metamorphosed into the weekly series The Waltons in 1972, Thomas was retained as John-Boy, earning a 1973 Emmy for his performance and remaining in the role until only a few months before the series' cancellation in 1981. During the Waltons' years, Thomas starred in several well-mounted TV movies, including the 1979 remake of All Quiet on the Western Front. Working through his own Melpomene Productions, Thomas has continued seeking creative challenges, including the role of Hamilton Whitney III in the TV series Just Cause (2002-2003). Fine condition.
