CNN is reporting that actor Charles Bronson, the puma-faced tough guy, best
known for his early supporting roles in films such as The Magnificent Seven
and the later Death Wish series, died Saturday (8/30) of complications from
pneumonia in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 81. Bronson
was one of fifteen children growing up in Philadelphia and seemed destined
to join his Lithuanian father and brothers as a coal-miner until World War
II broke out. After the war, Bronson used his G.I. Bill to study acting. He
played henchman in several films which included one of his few comedic turns
as an enforcer who gets beaten up by Katharine Hepburn in Pat and Mike.
Bronson then gained fame as the solid team member in The Magnificent Seven,
as Bernado, the gunslinger idolized by the peasants' sons, The Great Escape
as Danny 'The Tunnel King' Velinski and as Joseph T. Wladislaw, one of The
Dirty Dozen. Bronson had a series of films, including Adieu l'ami, which
made him immensely popular in Europe in the latter part of the '60s and
culminated with Once Upon a Time in the West. Marquee status in the States,
however, would have to wait for Bronson until 1974's Death Wish. The
vigilante film spawned four sequels of declining quality. Bronson also
starred in cult favorites such as Mr. Majestyk and The White Buffalo. He was
married three times, including to Jill Ireland (he shared the screen with
her 16 times), from 1968 until her death in 1990 from breast cancer. He is
survived by his wife, Kim Weeks, six children, and two grandchildren. Please
