    I LOVE Charles Bronson! But my heart goes out to his first wife; the fact she was good enough to support Charlie during his days as a struggling actor really says a lot about her character. Women like that are rare (especially these days!)

    Charles Bronson my hero of the screen. When i was 14yrs old Charles was becoming a real superstar establishing himself and getting better movie parts until he was the main star . I always got excited when he brought out a new film because you new what you where in for. Today iam 60yrs old . That Star quality has gone and well missed.
    Thank you Jerry Skinner . Love your presentation and accent.

    I know you made a lot of movies and was married to Jill Ireland.....but the fact that you served America when needed means more to me.
    Thanks Charlie

      I'm also 47 & I've been a fan since I was a child. My grandfather & Bronson shared military barracks, in the U.K., back in WW2. They weren't friends, but they knew each other & would say hello. My grandpa said "Chuck was always working out/lifting weights". I grew up watching his movies (often with my grandpa) back in the 1970s-80s. In the 1990s my GF & I would rent Bronson movies (from Blockbuster) & get a pizza, once per month. I called it "Bronsonfest". I used to have nearly all of Bronson's movies on VHS, but they're gone now. (& I no longer have a VCR) I do have quite a few of his movies on my PC. (mp4, avi, etc) My favorite Bronson movies are Hard Times, Death Wish, Death Hunt, The Evil That Men Do, Chato's Land, the White Buffalo, Red Sun, The Stone Killer....and more.

    What I remember most about Charles Bronson is you couldn't hold him hostage. He had a knack of getting out of any situation. You couldn't trap him. He was impossible to hold down. I really like this man. The movies I've seen of him were great. There's many other movies I haven't seen that I would like to see. Charles Bronson had a magnetism about him that drew you to him. I would like to see more of him.

    Charles Bronson was a must see actor for me when I was a young man. I saw most of his movies. The one aspect that endeared him was his earthy real background, he was a real tough guy. There were no silver spoons for him. He did it by his own two hands and wits. Also he wasn't involved in sandal, drugs, and was a very much a family man. All Respect for him!

And Bronson was in his 50s if I recall then ... looking so good back when steroids wasn't even a thing ... if they cast it now he would look like The Hulk ... and the whole thing would fall apart. That was a movie about True Grit, not about easy and obvious, heaven-sent mastery like today's movies.

    I went to open the door of a shop...but the door opened before I could grab the knob...and there was Charles Bronson looking down at me! The shocked look on my face made him smile!
    He was wearing a red bandana around his head, and he drove a beat up red pickup. Just a regular guy....sort of.
    Jill was gorgeous, and Charlie always had a gruff but handsome look, imho.

    Charles Bronson was one of my all time favourite actors. Always the quiet, inscrutable loner, he rarely seemed to say more than was needed. Looked like he'd been hewn from granite. Always loved Hard Times, but my favourite was Once Upon A Time In The West...possibly the best Western ever made. Sad end for a proud man.

    Saw him face to face skiing in Vale, CO. in 1977, January. I had just come off the lift, stopped, turned around to see my friend fall getting off the lift. I was giggling about it to myself when I noticed a man staring at me. I knew who he was immediately. I mumbled something, embarrassed, and skied off with my friend as she went by. As you would expect, he never said a word, never smiled, just stared that Bronson stare. Although he wasn’t that tall, he was very intimidating!
