Tova Borgnine has passed away

[Bea Frugal]

Oh, very sorry to hear that. She was full of old school glamour. She will be missed. The presenters dressed up for her shows and were very respectful.

Last of the old school

Sad news, she was a very elegant and classy lady, one of a kind all too rare these days.

I really liked Tova's shows. She was such an elegant lady, with a beautiful speaking voice. Her jewellery was the nicest, classiest looking eek.
She had been looking rather frail, and I think losing Ernest was a blow she never recovered from.
RIP lovely lady

What a lovely tribute and I quite agree -she was old school classy .A death is always sad but blimey she lived a life eh? Hopefully she’ll be flashing her jewels and telling her tales up there with Ernie x

Last of the old school

Gosh I literally just wrote similarly x

RIP Tova. Loved her shows. She’ll be comparing her diamonds and other sparklers with Elizabeth Taylor whilst Ernie will have his huge grin of pleasure to have his lady back by his side.

Oh how sad. Cant remember when I last saw her on QVC. RIP Tova

 

[myamoo]

I see that she'd brought back some of her skincare range on QVC US, including the cactine mask. I'm not sure when this was broadcast (from her twitter it looks as though her last appearance was the 14th January) and she's looking quite frail Tova

Ah, bless her. She does seem very frail in this video

Oh gosh yes she does look frail. Bless her though her hair was immaculate as always but she looked quite thin especially round the neck.

An acknowledgment on the QVC USA web site regarding their friend Tova
but sadly from QVC UK nothing.

This is sad news. She was the epitomy of elegance, poise and charm. I liked her. I do own one of her rings which I love. Very classy lady who dressed beautifully and had a lovely voice. I am sad about this. RIP with Ernie.

Very fitting. I noticed the most recent date some of the UK presenters updated their blogs was 25th February. It will be interesting to see if any of them mention her in their next update.

From Tova's Facebook page:

With a Halo of Heaven she captured our hearts, minds and senses giving us a Signature that shared our beauty.
With an eye for detail and design her jewelry brought sparkle to each and every day.
With her stories we took a journey with her from Hollywood to distant lands feeling as though we stood beside her.
From our hearts, thank you Tova for the grace, beauty, elegance and joy you brought to us all.
It is with a heavy heart that today I share of the peaceful passing of our founder, leader and friend, Tova Borgnine.
There has not been a day that Tova did not speak of her friends in TOVA and her QVC family around the globe - each of you through your Welcoming her into your homes on QVC, your stories you shared in posts and testimonial calls and moments of meeting fueled her passion to continue pioneering and innovating with her beauty products and jewelry designs. She always considered it an honor to be part of your day.
Most simply put by Tova's 11 year old friend "Tova was not just a person, she is a way of life."
From the TOVA Team, we ask you to share your favorite Tova moments, stories and memories in the comment section as we lift each other and celebrate the life of Tova.

My dear friend Tova. I am beyond devastated without you in this world. My friend, we shared so much love and many laughs. You asked me to carry your Tova torch and I shall continue to do that with honour and grace.
You shone so bright in this world, that even after you have gone your light remains

My 11 year old son said "Mummy, Tova wasn't just a person, she is a way of life"

Andrea (or as Tova used to pronounce it..."HAN-Drea") is the first model I remember her working with when I first encountered Tova on QVC. It must have been around late 1999 or early 2000. It's nice that she remembers her, and has made such beautiful comments on her passing.

Andrea Foulkes​

Such fond memories of my many years modelling for Tova on QVC U.K. such a ethereal mercurial radiant soul a presence I have never come across before or since . I first met her back in the 90’s. We had so many amazing conversations on life and later spiritual things. It was a JOY and pleasure to work with her..... she holds such a energy and light that she shone onto the world and a grace that was truly mesmerising..... Travel Well beautiful lady from living as a star on earth back to the stars..... love,light and twinkles Andrea xxxx

From the sublime to .... Debbie's flippant-sounding response. As someone who claims to be an author, surely she could be more eloquent? It puts me in mind of Windsor Davis' sergeant major's line in It Ain't Half Hot Mum. "Oh dear, how sad, never mind".
I hope Tova's ranges can continue without her, but in Q world I doubt it.
Her skincare sounds like it is effective, judging by the few reviews I've seen.

Oh, what sad news.

I remember she was the first US guest who came over after 9/11 and thanked everyone in the UK for their support and help.
