I attended the show this past Saturday and was amazed by how well Mr. Borgnine looks. For someone 91, he could certainly pass for someone in his 60's. An extremely cordial and pleasant gentleman. I was there when the show opened and left not too long before it closed. All day long he was smiling and laughing and having a great time meeting the fans. He and Peter Falk had the longest lines.
In addition to telling him how much I enjoyed his performances, and what a class act I thought he was; I also told him how much my kids are now enjoying him as the voice of Mermaid Man on Spongebob. He laughed and commented that "How's that for a career, from Marty to Mermaid Man."
A terrific guy.
