Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman: A Brief Honeymoon

In 1964, beloved actor Ernest Borgnine and multi-talented Ethel Merman tied the knot. However, their marriage lasted a mere 32 days. It was their honeymoon that spelled trouble. Travelling from Beverly Hills to various exotic destinations, Borgnine's recognition contrasted with Merman's lack of acknowledgment. This disparity wounded Merman's ego, leading to arguments and resentment. Eventually, during a call to her parents, Merman voiced her discontent. The marriage's breaking point came when they returned to L.A., with Borgnine realizing that he couldn't endure the strife any longer. Their whirlwind union came to an end.
