Charles Bronson was always my favorite actor. The quite relax personality. He kept in great physical condition something most actors back then did not bother exercising
Charles Bronson was one of a kind. I knew about his hardship when growing up but I must admit I didn't know about his purple heart for his service in the war. A true hero and one of my favorite actors ever. RIP Mr. Bronson
I've always been impressed by the way he seemed to keep himself in good physical shape despite his age. He was 50 or 51 years old when he did the movie "Chato's Land" in 1972 playing a half breed Indian and I envied his great physique in that movie.
Bronson is my favorite movie actor. He has starred in more great movies than anyone else. My all-time favorites are The Magnificent Seven, Great Escape, Dirty Dozen, Once Upon a Time, Chato's Land, The Mechanic, Mr. Majestyk, Death Wish, and Hard Times. He has always been criminally underrated as an actor. He should've won an Oscar for the original Death Wish. His performance is at times, happy, sad, frightened, fatigued, and of course menacing. He has always represented courage to me. I miss him. Today's Hollywood stars don't hold a candle to his greatness.
For myself, when it comes to male stars, it's a fourway tie between Bronson, Bogart, Langcaster and Schwarzenegger! I have more of their films than anybody else! Rather than say who was the "best" I usually punk out and say they never phoned in a performance; my eyes were always glued to the screen!
@@williamhelm6632 "Sampano is here!" I like his work, but not as much as the guys I listed! The films in my collection are a fraction of the movies I've enjoyed in which they've appeared! BTW LOVED Quinn as Gauguin!
I remember watching his movies as a little girl and always wishing I had a father like him because my own father was absent from my life. The tough guy persona appealed to me for reasons I didn't understand at the time. In Death Wish and other movies, I saw him as a man with a hard exterior but with a gentle giant interior. According to the facts in this video, I can understand and empathize with his complexities. I actually have a few of these myself and many of our childhood experiences although seperated by a different time and place, strangely seem to run parallel.

I've always enjoyed watching Charles Bronson on screen. Sure, he did play some heavies -- he oozed strength on the screen without even trying, but he was rather quiet in real life, and worked well on screen with his wife, Jill Ireland, in a few movies. Good actor and nice person.
...no mention of his great role in the Magnificent Seven, where he was one of those who sacrificed his life to protect the children who adored him in life and death.

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams..
I’ve always liked him. I used to watch the western channel with my aging mother. Charles Bronson showed up many times on the old tv westerns of the fifties.
His best moment in Death Wish 2 when he asks a bad guy with a cross dangling on his neck " So , You Believe In Jesus " Bad Guy " Yes I Do " Charles " Well , You're Gonna Meet Him " 🔫
I've remember in the 1980's Charles Bronson he made good-movies in brooklyn newyork , in east newyork brooklyn , he was one ofthe best actor's of the 70' s , 80 's .
One time in 1969 when I was a baby mr Bronson and his beautiful wife were in grand central station along side of my mom and noticed me and asked if they could hold me and they did. What an honor it is to be held by them
That Henry Fonda was repulsed by the Death Wish script and Bronson jumped on it tells me what I already guessed, that Bronson was the Alpha male of the two.
@@Bodiddly55 Also Fonda was already an established movie actor long before the eighties and had the option of choosing his roles carefully. Bronson saw an opportunity to possibly establish himself like the tough persona we all loved about him. Noon to three is one of my favorite movies. he excelled as a true actor in that along with Ireland his wife.
And don't forget it was Charles Bronson vs Henry Fonda (Fonda's only really bad guy role that he did with perfection except Sergio Leon wanted no eye lenses to cover Fonda's baby blues) at the end of Leon's masterpiece Once Upon A Time In The West. The gunfight just as memorable as Leon's Dollar Trilogy and of course, The Good The Bad And The Ugly.
I've always enjoyed Charles Bronson. I guess it started with his parts in westerns 1st, thru all the Death Wish movies & everything else I could find thru the years. I believe he was also a boxer in his early years.
In 1943, Bronson enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces and served as an aerial gunner in the 760th Flexible Gunnery Training Squadron, and in 1945 as a Boeing B-29 Superfortress crewman with the 39th Bombardment Group based on Guam. he also received a purple heart for wounds received in battle.
Once Upon a Time in the West is the most brilliant and best western ever. I remember watching it for the first time when it came out. I was traumatized by the beginning, the scene with Henry Fonda (Frank) when his name was said and the consequences. I was very young and Henry Fonda was a favorite actor of mine and always a good guy. I still remember the shock lol. Bronson was brilliantly stoic and Claudia Cardinale, Jack Elam, and especially Jason Robards were amazing. I still cry when I watch it.
He was first choice for the spaghetti westerns that Mr Eastwood took on..... Can you imagine what a good job he would've done🎬 Death wish came about at a time we needed a hero, to pull us out of sutch DARK TIME'S.. I guess he's back with the woman he truly loved 😍 Bless his SOUL🙏😇💪💯🇬🇧
With all due respect,....... Charles Bronson became a star in Europe first. However, he was already a famous and well-known actor in the U.S. He had already played several leading roles in movies and TV series in the 1950s and '60s. In order to achieve a certain status, one has to be well known and have certain fame....... Fame and stardom are two different things....... Please do not confuse one with the other.
The first time I saw Bronson he played a rough looking softie! I only remember that there was a little blind girl who had befriended him. He loved this little girl and was happy that she would be getting her sight back even tho she would see what he really looked like when she did. I will never forget the look of sheer happiness on his face when his looks didn’t frighten her. His looks didn’t change her love for him. It was a tv program but I can remember nothing else! It shaped Bronson in my mind as a man of gentle kindness. I was a young girl but I couldn’t help but feel his appeal to women even if I didn’t understand it! I’m now a 75yr old who remembers how he made my heart flutter so long go! Does anyone else remember this show? I somehow remember, “tomatoes,” played a part! Of course at 75 my memory “may” be a bit faulty! Lol
According to IMDB Bronson's first acting credit was on TV in 1949, but soon after his first film was in the service comedy You're in the Navy Now starring Gary Cooper just a few years later as a Sailor. The film had many future tough guys and TV Icons such as Lee Marvin's in an uncredited role like Bronson, another was Eddie Albert of Green Acres fame as an Officer who like the other characters fought the ship's quirky engine at the center of the film. A very young Jack Webb of Dragnet fame also played another Officer that went into the boxing ring when Bronson's character was hurt by the engine but in the end all involved got to join a convoy once the " USS Teakettle" got a Diesel engine after the Navy gave up on its experiment power plant. Indeed Bronson did more TV in his career than he did films like The Great Escape and though Death Wish was his most remembered role his Tough Guy persona was well established in films like The Mechanic before it and others. Like many working actors in the 1950s thru the 1960s he often did more TV roles than films because studios went into the new medium as films were no longer the main entertainment they once were when it arrived and he acted in some way just a few years before he passed away at 81 in 2003. But many recalled that the loss of Jill Clayberg to cancer was when he truly began to leave this earth and missed her everyday carrying small part of her ashes with him where he went supposedly in a cane he used until his was mixed with hers soon after his own death nearly 20yrs ago...
I worked in the Paramount Studios mailroom back in the late-80's and used to park my motorcycle just to the right side of the Bronson Gate, back when the studio's property ended there, just before the expansion that swallowed up the original Western Costumes building right across the street. Bronson was the name of the street that ran north and south on the east side of the lot. But an older security guard who was working the Bronson Gate one day told me he knew Bronson from his pre-star days and that the actor took the name from the gate, not the road when he would stand around for hours a the gate, hoping to get picked as an extra back in the days before Central Casting's background players' department existed and hopefuls would stand, waiting to be picked out for a job that day. And actor Jack Klugman's name was pronounced "Clug-men" not Kloog-men."
not only was he was recognized in Europe prior to the US, he was also famous in the far east long before America. Bronson was a big hit and a well known actor there way back. He was an icon in Asia.
He grew up being a coal miner. Clostrophobia . When he was no longer afraid of it , he had no fear of anything .including actors. It was said that he was very nice to anyone who approached and wanted a autograph that he would ask them what do you do . Had been in war . He was born poor .Truly a American treasure .he was even a shoe shine boy in West Virginia he is from wheeling .
I always wondered about Bronson's ethnicity. Then I figured he had eastern European ancestry. I wasn't far off. He was my mother's favorite actor. She just loved all his movies and when one would come up on TV she wouldn't miss it.
I was amazed to find out he was a germaphobe . I guess everyone has their idiosyncrasies . No one ever seems to talk about his physique . Let's face it the man was built and it appears that he was blessed with that body and didn't do anything to maintain it especially if he'd been smoking since he was nine . Amazing . I liked a lot of his movies . Chato's Land , Hard Times , Once Upon A time In The West and The Great Escape to name a few . Gone but not forgotten .
I wasn’t really surprised about the languages or that he was more popular in Europe first… I think I’ve seen a video about him already. Thank you very much for the very good video!
A great actor. Always saw him as the strong silent type with a lot more going on beneath the surface. Handsome man, very intelligent. Didn't know that he could speak so many languages. One of the American Greats. Nx😘
Wow this shocked me from his life story: Bronson was married to English actress Jill Ireland from October 5, 1968,[49] until her death in 1990. He had met her in 1962, when she was married to Scottish actor David McCallum. At the time, Bronson (who shared the screen with McCallum in The Great Escape) reportedly told him, "I'm going to marry your wife". The Bronsons lived in a grand Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles with seven children: two by his previous marriage, three by hers (one of whom was adopted), and two of their own, Zuleika and Katrina, the latter of whom was also adopted.[50] After they married, she often played his leading lady, and they starred in fifteen films together.[citation needed] To maintain a close family, they would load up everyone and take them to wherever filming was taking place, so that they could all be together. They spent time in a colonial farmhouse on 260 acres (1.1 km2) in West Windsor, Vermont,[51] where Ireland raised horses and provided training for their daughter Zuleika so that she could perform at the higher levels of horse showing. The Vermont farm, "Zuleika Farm", was named for the only biological child between them. During the late 1980s through the mid-1990s Bronson regularly spent winter holidays vacationing with his family in Snowmass, Colorado.[citation needed] On May 18, 1990, aged 54, after a long battle with breast cancer, Jill Ireland died of the disease at their home in Malibu, California.[52] In December 1998,
Charles Bronson, WOW he was a hunk, I loved him in the scene Chino , also Death Wish, and The Dirty Dozen.. oh heck, I loved him in all the movies that he played in... The one movie he played in was Apache I think! It has been a long time since I saw that movie.. HE WAS GREAT.. I MISS HIM........Thank you Mr. Charles Bronson for the memories.....
I COULD SEE MYSELF in Paul Kersey in the DEATH WISH series. I grew up being bullied some way form or fashion - and have an intense hatred for them even now.The first three movies are my favorites.Great acting - even by the sub characters.The uncensored fatal beating of Kersey's wife,and sexual abuse of Kersey's daughter in the first movie, was classic It would justify making Keysey the Vigilante .The way his daughter died only threw fuel on the fire of his hatred for these creeps.Clint Eastwood did his early movies in the same vengeful way.
Soooo, for a "Crazy cool," smart, hard working stoic that he was... he was quite sane, in an increasing more insane world. !(: THANKS Mr. Buchinsky and may you R.I.P. :)!
I remember reading that he was demanding $1 million for one movie. I believe that was in the 1970’s. He was also in old western shows on TV. Bonanza wagon train and some twilight zone episodes.
It might not or wouldn't be "considered" so by a world gone mad, yet it remains as irrational a fear as one can develop and harbor. Sad times in which we live, indeed. Logical, level-headed, fact-based behavior supplanted by hysteria, superstition, myth and the ever convenient talisman eg. the moron-mask
@@manofiske3318 Yeah, very sad times, especially when fools spread disinformation, ignore the science, believe snake oil right wing fake politicians and lie about masks or vaccines being a giant conspiracy.
I love Charles Bronson! Sly Stallone said that Bronson was very un-Hollywood: avoided the limelight, scandals, etc. He was a family man. And, he had a rigorous workout program. RIP
He was a favorite actor of mine loved every movie I've seen him in. His fear of germs surprised me, but the fact that he was an American who gain European movie fame first I found more shocking. Also that he was a WWII veteran. I guess because I enjoy talented people's talents, yet never was one to pry into those people's private like that's to be expected.
He was my mom favorite actor. I remember her mentioning his name thru out most of my youth. Though I doubt she knew how good of a person he also was off screen. R.I.P. Charlie Bronson!

I REMEMBER MEETING MR BRONSON AND HIS WIFE JILL IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, WHILE SHOOTING A MOVIE. I ACTUALLY TALKED TO HER, AND FINALLY HIM ON THE PHONE, THEY JUST PUT THE PHONE CALL THROUGH TO THEM, HARD TO BELIEVE, HUH? JILL TOLD ME WHERE THEY WOULD BE, AND WHEN, OUT BY THE POOL EATING LUNCH, AND WHAT TIME ALSO. MY MOTHER AND I WERE THERE, SAT DOWN, TABLES WERE EMPTY, THEN CAME THE BRONSON PARTY, SITTING ONLY 2 TABLES AWAY FROM US. HAD OUR LUNCH. THEY COULD HAVE SAT ANYWHERE IN THE PATIO, ANYWHERE, AND WHERE DID THEY SIT, WITHIN BREATHING ROOM OF US, VERY EXCITING. JILL SAID YOU CAN TAKE PHOTOS OF HIM/US, BUT, HE DOES NOT POSE FOR PHOTOS, SO DO NOT ASK HIM, SO, WE DID'NT. KNEW THAT CHARLES AND HIS DAUGHTER WAS GOING TO BE AT THE MINI GOLF COURSE AT THE HOTEL, AND WHEN. WE SHOWED UP, WATCHED THEM PLAY FOR AWHILE, WALKED OVER TO THEM, AND SAID A FEW THINGS, ASKED FOR HIS AUTOGRAPH, HE SIGNED IT, WE WISHED HIM GREAT SUCCESS ON HIS NEW MOVIE, AND LEFT. OH, I FORGOT ONE THING, WHEN SPEAKING TO JILL, SHE SAID THAT CHARLES IS JUST LIKE YOU SEE HIM ON CAMERA, ROUGH, GROUGH, IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY THAT INTERESTS HIM, HE WILL NOT RESPOND, IF IT IS NOT INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT, THEN HE SAYS NOTHING. VERY TRUE, BUT HE WAS STILL VERY NICE TO SPEAK TO, AS WELL AS JILL. I SPOKE TO HER ON THE PHONE 2 TIMES, EACH ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WAS VERY EXCITING FOR US. I SHOWED HIM A COLLAGE OF PHOTOS OF HIM I HAD COLLECTED, AND PLACED ON MY WALL, HE HAD A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. SO GOOD LOOKING, SO KIND, VERY SWEET. WILL NEVER FORGET THIS EXCITING TIME OF MY LIFE. LOST THE COLLAGE OVER THE YEARS, VERY SAD ABOUT THAT, BUT WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I MET HIM AND HIS WIFE, AND DAUGHTER. LOVE THIS MAN, AND JILL ALSO, OF CORSE. WONDER WHAT THEIR DAUGHTER IS DOING NOWDAYS. WILL HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT IF I CAN.

Always loved Charles Bronson, as well as Clint Eastwood... Great actors!
RIP CHARLIE BUCHINSKI...
“sky”, not ski.
Anytime his movies are on. I stop everything n sit and watch
Charles was an accomplished painter artist
One of the All Time Greatest Actors! There will never be another Buchinsky!
I've remember in the 1980's Charles Bronson he made good-movies in brooklyn newyork , in east newyork brooklyn , he was one ofthe best actor's of the 70' s , 80 's .
One time in 1969 when I was a baby mr Bronson and his beautiful wife were in grand central station along side of my mom and noticed me and asked if they could hold me and they did. What an honor it is to be held by them
Ok, whatever. I don't want to hear one bad thing about my father's favorite!
CHARLES BRONSON WAS ONE OF THE BEST ACTORS EVER
That Henry Fonda was repulsed by the Death Wish script and Bronson jumped on it tells me what I already guessed, that Bronson was the Alpha male of the two.
@@Bodiddly55 Also Fonda was already an established movie actor long before the eighties and had the option of choosing his roles carefully. Bronson saw an opportunity to possibly establish himself like the tough persona we all loved about him. Noon to three is one of my favorite movies. he excelled as a true actor in that along with Ireland his wife.
Bronson was definitely no sissy boy
And don't forget it was Charles Bronson vs Henry Fonda (Fonda's only really bad guy role that he did with perfection except Sergio Leon wanted no eye lenses to cover Fonda's baby blues) at the end of Leon's masterpiece Once Upon A Time In The West. The gunfight just as memorable as Leon's Dollar Trilogy and of course, The Good The Bad And The Ugly.
Telling a person that he would eventually take his wife also tells you all you need to know.
@@AJ-xm4xc Very true, that takes some serious testicular fortitude! Lol
Charles Dennis Buchinsky; November 3, 1921 - August 30, 2003. You made it sound like he died young. He was 81.
Charles!
My Lithuanian brother!!
My grandfather's name also is Charles
Rest in Peace Charles and Charles
He was from Poland?
@@nenadcubric2663 nop, his parents were from Lithuania. On the other hand, one of his parents had blood of Polish/Tatars
I've always enjoyed Charles Bronson. I guess it started with his parts in westerns 1st, thru all the Death Wish movies & everything else I could find thru the years. I believe he was also a boxer in his early years.
He was an awesome actor I loved watching him since I was a little kid I should say he's about my favorite I have some of his movies
In 1943, Bronson enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces and served as an aerial gunner in the 760th Flexible Gunnery Training Squadron, and in 1945 as a Boeing B-29 Superfortress crewman with the 39th Bombardment Group based on Guam. he also received a purple heart for wounds received in battle.
Once Upon a Time in the West is the most brilliant and best western ever. I remember watching it for the first time when it came out. I was traumatized by the beginning, the scene with Henry Fonda (Frank) when his name was said and the consequences. I was very young and Henry Fonda was a favorite actor of mine and always a good guy. I still remember the shock lol. Bronson was brilliantly stoic and Claudia Cardinale, Jack Elam, and especially Jason Robards were amazing. I still cry when I watch it.
He was first choice for the spaghetti westerns that Mr Eastwood took on..... Can you imagine what a good job he would've done🎬
Death wish came about at a time we needed a hero, to pull us out of sutch DARK TIME'S..
I guess he's back with the woman he truly loved 😍 Bless his SOUL🙏😇💪💯🇬🇧
With all due respect,....... Charles Bronson became a star in Europe first. However, he was already a famous and well-known actor in the U.S. He had already played several leading roles in movies and TV series in the 1950s and '60s. In order to achieve a certain status, one has to be well known and have certain fame....... Fame and stardom are two different things....... Please do not confuse one with the other.
The first time I saw Bronson he played a rough looking softie! I only remember that there was a little blind girl who had befriended him. He loved this little girl and was happy that she would be getting her sight back even tho she would see what he really looked like when she did. I will never forget the look of sheer happiness on his face when his looks didn’t frighten her. His looks didn’t change her love for him. It was a tv program but I can remember nothing else! It shaped Bronson in my mind as a man of gentle kindness. I was a young girl but I couldn’t help but feel his appeal to women even if I didn’t understand it! I’m now a 75yr old who remembers how he made my heart flutter so long go! Does anyone else remember this show? I somehow remember, “tomatoes,” played a part! Of course at 75 my memory “may” be a bit faulty! Lol
BIG FAN of Bronson
He had the most beautiful wife in Jill Ireland. Wow
LECHER - WENT AFTER HIS FRIEND DAVID MCCALLUM'S WIFE
@@barbararea3858 Yeah, he was an asshole....
@@barbararea3858 BS! Don't forget, it takes two to tango!
@@tedshredz58 Uh oh, Eddie, your jealousy is showing!
he was very loyal to her. He sacrificed his top career years to support her while she was sick.
There is none better than MR. Charles Bronson RIP. MR. Bronson...
We're happy to know that you're a fan of Charles. In your opinion, what is his finest film?
Cheyeene
According to IMDB Bronson's first acting credit was on TV in 1949, but soon after his first film was in the service comedy You're in the Navy Now starring Gary Cooper just a few years later as a Sailor. The film had many future tough guys and TV Icons such as Lee Marvin's in an uncredited role like Bronson, another was Eddie Albert of Green Acres fame as an Officer who like the other characters fought the ship's quirky engine at the center of the film. A very young Jack Webb of Dragnet fame also played another Officer that went into the boxing ring when Bronson's character was hurt by the engine but in the end all involved got to join a convoy once the " USS Teakettle" got a Diesel engine after the Navy gave up on its experiment power plant. Indeed Bronson did more TV in his career than he did films like The Great Escape and though Death Wish was his most remembered role his Tough Guy persona was well established in films like The Mechanic before it and others. Like many working actors in the 1950s thru the 1960s he often did more TV roles than films because studios went into the new medium as films were no longer the main entertainment they once were when it arrived and he acted in some way just a few years before he passed away at 81 in 2003. But many recalled that the loss of Jill Clayberg to cancer was when he truly began to leave this earth and missed her everyday carrying small part of her ashes with him where he went supposedly in a cane he used until his was mixed with hers soon after his own death nearly 20yrs ago...
He was UNIQUE , i don't know about anything else.
My favourite act
For me his best role was as Cheney, in Hard Times. Great cast. Nice pacing.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
I worked in the Paramount Studios mailroom back in the late-80's and used to park my motorcycle just to the right side of the Bronson Gate, back when the studio's property ended there, just before the expansion that swallowed up the original Western Costumes building right across the street. Bronson was the name of the street that ran north and south on the east side of the lot. But an older security guard who was working the Bronson Gate one day told me he knew Bronson from his pre-star days and that the actor took the name from the gate, not the road when he would stand around for hours a the gate, hoping to get picked as an extra back in the days before Central Casting's background players' department existed and hopefuls would stand, waiting to be picked out for a job that day. And actor Jack Klugman's name was pronounced "Clug-men" not Kloog-men."
Charles Bronson is a icon
Bronson, one of my favorite western film actor
not only was he was recognized in Europe prior to the US, he was also famous in the far east long before America. Bronson was a big hit and a well known actor there way back. He was an icon in Asia.
Always loved Bronson, just something about him. Bronson name is awesome.
Thanks for watching!
What a great actor. My Grandad looks like him! Also we share the same birthday :) 3rd November.
Fire and germs nothing wrong with that He WAS A very good actor loved his movies
He grew up being a coal miner. Clostrophobia . When he was no longer afraid of it , he had no fear of anything
.including actors. It was said that he was very nice to anyone who approached and wanted a autograph that he would ask them what do you do . Had been in war . He was born poor .Truly a American treasure .he was even a shoe shine boy in West Virginia he is from wheeling .
Thanks for watching!
I always wondered about Bronson's ethnicity. Then I figured he had eastern European ancestry. I wasn't far off. He was my mother's favorite actor. She just loved all his movies and when one would come up on TV she wouldn't miss it.
I was amazed to find out he was a germaphobe . I guess everyone has their idiosyncrasies . No one ever seems to talk about his physique . Let's face it the man was built and it appears that he was blessed with that body and didn't do anything to maintain it especially if he'd been smoking since he was nine . Amazing . I liked a lot of his movies . Chato's Land , Hard Times , Once Upon A time In The West and The Great Escape to name a few . Gone but not forgotten .
Beautiful couple, may they rest in peace. Love them both.
He was also claustrophobic and had some problems with his role in the great escape.
My favorite actor love all his movies,watch them over and over ,
I wasn’t really surprised about the languages or that he was more popular in Europe first… I think I’ve seen a video about him already. Thank you very much for the very good video!
Glad you liked it, Gay!
A great actor. Always saw him as the strong silent type with a lot more going on beneath the surface. Handsome man, very intelligent. Didn't know that he could speak so many languages. One of the American Greats. Nx😘
Wow this shocked me from his life story:
Bronson was married to English actress Jill Ireland from October 5, 1968,[49] until her death in 1990. He had met her in 1962, when she was married to Scottish actor David McCallum. At the time, Bronson (who shared the screen with McCallum in The Great Escape) reportedly told him, "I'm going to marry your wife". The Bronsons lived in a grand Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles with seven children: two by his previous marriage, three by hers (one of whom was adopted), and two of their own, Zuleika and Katrina, the latter of whom was also adopted.[50] After they married, she often played his leading lady, and they starred in fifteen films together.[citation needed]
To maintain a close family, they would load up everyone and take them to wherever filming was taking place, so that they could all be together. They spent time in a colonial farmhouse on 260 acres (1.1 km2) in West Windsor, Vermont,[51] where Ireland raised horses and provided training for their daughter Zuleika so that she could perform at the higher levels of horse showing. The Vermont farm, "Zuleika Farm", was named for the only biological child between them. During the late 1980s through the mid-1990s Bronson regularly spent winter holidays vacationing with his family in Snowmass, Colorado.[citation needed]
On May 18, 1990, aged 54, after a long battle with breast cancer, Jill Ireland died of the disease at their home in Malibu, California.[52] In December 1998,
RIP Charles, we miss your iconic charisma and "get 'er done!" attitude.
Charles Bronson, WOW he was a hunk, I loved him in the scene Chino , also Death Wish, and The Dirty Dozen.. oh heck, I loved him in all the movies that he played in... The one movie he played in was Apache I think! It has been a long time since I saw that movie.. HE WAS GREAT.. I MISS HIM........Thank you Mr. Charles Bronson for the memories.....
I love this great actor 👍💯💯😃
I was surprised to hear that he was from a big family. As well as his family and work history. ☺
I COULD SEE MYSELF in Paul Kersey in the DEATH WISH series. I grew up being bullied some way form or fashion - and have an intense hatred for them even now.The first three movies are my favorites.Great acting - even by the sub characters.The uncensored fatal beating of Kersey's wife,and sexual abuse of Kersey's daughter in the first movie, was classic It would justify making Keysey the Vigilante .The way his daughter died only threw fuel on the fire of his hatred for these creeps.Clint Eastwood did his early movies in the same vengeful way.
CHARLES BRONSON ,ONE GOOD A TALENT ACTOR, RIP
I loved Charles Bronson's movie's? He was such a good actor. His wife was beautiful! U don't get movies like tht 2day! 👏😀😍👍
@Steven Davies ure word choice is ugly! Choose better words my friend & b humble? Look for people's good instead! 💟
Soooo, for a "Crazy cool," smart, hard working stoic that he was... he was quite sane, in an increasing more insane world.
!(: THANKS Mr. Buchinsky and may you R.I.P. :)!
I remember reading that he was demanding $1 million for one movie. I believe that was in the 1970’s. He was also in old western shows on TV. Bonanza wagon train and some twilight zone episodes.
He was in a twilight zone episode with Elizabeth montgom.ery
Germs? He would be utterly paranoid if he were alive today nor would his fear be considered "irrational."
It might not or wouldn't be "considered" so by a world gone mad, yet it remains as irrational a fear as one can develop and harbor. Sad times in which we live, indeed. Logical, level-headed, fact-based behavior supplanted by hysteria, superstition, myth and the ever convenient talisman eg. the moron-mask
@@manofiske3318 Yeah, very sad times, especially when fools spread disinformation, ignore the science, believe snake oil right wing fake politicians and lie about masks or vaccines being a giant conspiracy.
I love Charles Bronson!
Sly Stallone said that Bronson was very un-Hollywood: avoided the limelight, scandals, etc.
He was a family man. And, he had a rigorous workout program.
RIP
Great actor and severely underrated.
He was a favorite actor of mine loved every movie I've seen him in. His fear of germs surprised me, but the fact that he was an American who gain European movie fame first I found more shocking. Also that he was a WWII veteran. I guess because I enjoy talented people's talents, yet never was one to pry into those people's private like that's to be expected.
White buffalo one of favorite movies. Buffalo was one mean beast. Lol...
He was my mom favorite actor. I remember her mentioning his name thru out most of my youth. Though I doubt she knew how good of a person he also was off screen. R.I.P. Charlie Bronson!
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Charles! Which of his films appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse
The death wish series. I still have a lot of Bronson’s archives to go thru, especially his early work. Still have yet to see magnificent 7.
One of the BEST EVER!!!
I REMEMBER MEETING MR BRONSON AND HIS WIFE JILL IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, WHILE SHOOTING A MOVIE. I ACTUALLY TALKED TO HER, AND FINALLY HIM ON THE PHONE, THEY JUST PUT THE PHONE CALL THROUGH TO THEM, HARD TO BELIEVE, HUH? JILL TOLD ME WHERE THEY WOULD BE, AND WHEN, OUT BY THE POOL EATING LUNCH, AND WHAT TIME ALSO. MY MOTHER AND I WERE THERE, SAT DOWN, TABLES WERE EMPTY, THEN CAME THE BRONSON PARTY, SITTING ONLY 2 TABLES AWAY FROM US. HAD OUR LUNCH. THEY COULD HAVE SAT ANYWHERE IN THE PATIO, ANYWHERE, AND WHERE DID THEY SIT, WITHIN BREATHING ROOM OF US, VERY EXCITING. JILL SAID YOU CAN TAKE PHOTOS OF HIM/US, BUT, HE DOES NOT POSE FOR PHOTOS, SO DO NOT ASK HIM, SO, WE DID'NT. KNEW THAT CHARLES AND HIS DAUGHTER WAS GOING TO BE AT THE MINI GOLF COURSE AT THE HOTEL, AND WHEN. WE SHOWED UP, WATCHED THEM PLAY FOR AWHILE, WALKED OVER TO THEM, AND SAID A FEW THINGS, ASKED FOR HIS AUTOGRAPH, HE SIGNED IT, WE WISHED HIM GREAT SUCCESS ON HIS NEW MOVIE, AND LEFT. OH, I FORGOT ONE THING, WHEN SPEAKING TO JILL, SHE SAID THAT CHARLES IS JUST LIKE YOU SEE HIM ON CAMERA, ROUGH, GROUGH, IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY THAT INTERESTS HIM, HE WILL NOT RESPOND, IF IT IS NOT INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT, THEN HE SAYS NOTHING. VERY TRUE, BUT HE WAS STILL VERY NICE TO SPEAK TO, AS WELL AS JILL. I SPOKE TO HER ON THE PHONE 2 TIMES, EACH ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WAS VERY EXCITING FOR US. I SHOWED HIM A COLLAGE OF PHOTOS OF HIM I HAD COLLECTED, AND PLACED ON MY WALL, HE HAD A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. SO GOOD LOOKING, SO KIND, VERY SWEET. WILL NEVER FORGET THIS EXCITING TIME OF MY LIFE. LOST THE COLLAGE OVER THE YEARS, VERY SAD ABOUT THAT, BUT WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I MET HIM AND HIS WIFE, AND DAUGHTER. LOVE THIS MAN, AND JILL ALSO, OF CORSE. WONDER WHAT THEIR DAUGHTER IS DOING NOWDAYS. WILL HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT IF I CAN.

Can't see anyone but Charles Bronson in Death Wish.
Bronson, McQueen, Eastwood. The 'Tough Guy Trio'. Wish they could have made a movie together together!
David C. Bohn Take away Eastwood, he is nothing like the others.
In the movie From Noon TIL Three with Bronson and his wife Jill Ireland, you can see the love ❤️ that they had for each other. Now they are together again.💕
once upon time in the west i love with charles bronson
Yes, Mr. Harmonica himself.
Great American actor who loved his country and as for him being a big star in Europe first , The magnificant seven , the great escape, the Dirty dozen, Machine gun Kelly, four for Texas, Battle of the Bulge, This Property is condemned , all made before 1968, his reputation was always that of a professional and in America he had a huge following all before 1968.
Ya gotta like Bronson. Great Actor.
What's your favorite Charles Bronson movie, Jim?
Revenge is a dish best served cold and Charles Bronson served it well as Harmonica in the best western of all time.
You forgot he was on Gunsmoke, and had a movie about a white buffalo. Great actor
The name BRONSON came from THE BRONSON GATE at Paramount Studios! That's where Charles, and other actors, used to congregate at those days...
Great Actor.
I always enjoyed his movies. His wife was so beautiful and feminine and he was handsome and manly. A beautiful pair.
Must give him a lot of credit for working his way up
Bronson wasn't scared of nothing,, he was smart about germs and fire,, Bromson was a tough guy, on and off the screen,, Bronson was a great actor, strong & silent...R.i.P. Charlie....
