About us

Nancee Borgnine

Growing up amid the glimmer of Hollywood’s golden years surrounded by the icons of film and television, Nancee developed an early appreciation for the people and artistry that defined classic entertainment. A former SAG-franchised agent and founder of her own theatrical agency, Nancee went on to produce films, television projects, and celebrity events, including high-profile fundraisers and charity golf tournaments. An entrepreneur at heart, she has also launched and sold several successful products internationally. Nancee's favorite pastime is sipping champagne in Paris and daydreaming of spending more time in Italy, where her father’s family still resides—a nod to her deep love of heritage, history, and la dolce vita.

Cris Borgnine

Hollywood runs through Cris' family roots—his mother was an actress; his uncle, a founding member of the Stuntmen’s Association; and his grandfather began his career hand-cranking cameras in the 1910s before rising to lead a division at Columbia Pictures. Cris studied acting under the legendary Sanford Meisner before discovering his true passion behind the camera. He went on to travel the world as a photographer, cinematographer, and special effects artist, working on films, documentaries, and major motion pictures. Cris is a lifelong surfer, an avid musician, golfer, and traveler, with a deep appreciation for food, art, and classic cinema.
