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!)
He was in alot of tv westerns early in his career alongside jack elam , jame collbern, and clint eastwood on rawhide, he paid his dues and made it. Good for him !
I always appreciate Charles Bronson as a military man who got his arm shot as a tail gunner on a B-29 bomber over Guam during WW2. 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
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.
How can anyone not admire, respect or love Charles Bronson? A poor, American immigrant's child who worked hard in claustraphophic mines, then graduated and went on to fought for his country and became War Hero, then became a TV star, who then became a Movie Star! Charles Bronson, thank you Sir!!!!!
A great actor and an even better human being. A true rags to riches story and life he had. RIP Charles. Thank you Jerry for this amazing story of his life.
Your storytelling is amazing. Such respect on telling the story of a life. No judgments...just facts told in such a wonderful manner. Thank you for all that you do.
As a teenager in the 70's I waited anxiously for every movie that Bronson was in. I was never let down. He had an everyman quality that I really liked.
Hey I'm 47 too..i started to became fan of him in the early 80's(as pursued by my father) and thanks to this wonderful great video life story tribute to Bronson!
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.
Thank you for a wonderful documentary. Once upon a time in the west changed my life. I used to watch it over and over at movie theares in Paris France when I was a teenager. He will always be in my memories. And from the same movie, his quote, "you brought 2 too many". My next most favorite movie of his was "Hard times" which I still watch scenes from on RU-vid.God bless.
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.
I almost wish I hadn't seen this. The end was too harsh. He was a good, caring, man. And yet he was one of the best "bad ass" actors ever known! I'm going to remember Charles Bronson with that smile of his and that twinkle in his eyes. RIP - Charles Bronson
One of my all time favorite actors. Death Hunt is in the top three favorites for me. A talented artist, hard worker, WW2 Vet; combat, wonderful father, husband and overall human being. He makes me strive to be a better man. Thank you for posting this.
i love it when people who have nothing,can rise to world admiration, and give all that love to so many children ,he will always be my favourite actor R.I.P CHARLES
Him and my grandpa grew up together and were best friends. Him, my grandfather, and my grandmas brother lived in an apartment together for awhile. The were all from Johnstown or southfork pa or something like that. Yeah super broke....my grandpa grew up poor too. Went to ww2, was awarded 5 bronze stars and 2 silver stars for valor. Raided Normandy...Was one of the first Americans to see the consentration camps.
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!
One thing about Charles Bronson in an acting role, rather starring or down in the totem pole, you would always remember him. He just always stood out. The camera loved him, his attitude and a certain look he had. Loved him!
Yes, My favorite fight movie. He was great. I dont know anybody else who could of done a better got than him. Not just the fight scenes, but his personality fit the role perfectly.
I hope to God this movie is never forgotten. It is just so good. 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.
Wow its 2018 and i am juat finding out he passed. I am 34 years old but remember watching his movies with my grandpa who didnt speak english but couldnt get enough of his action movies. Great actor
This video was so informative. The narrators voice was soothing and relaxing. I've always loved Charles Bronson. Such a kind caring and loving man. And I might add, extremely handsome. RIP
Jay Dee, some think that *that* is deliberate. [They] do not want little boys to have *real men* to look up to anymore; even from afar. Hence, why they report on the effeminization of so many males. Please study GMO.
All my life I used to love watching his movies I still love watching his movies he was a hard-knock guy with the teddy bear attitude I sometimes when playing with my friends good guy bad guy tough guy versus bad guy I always took the Charles Bronson whether he was tough guy or bad guy he was always cool guy
And besides what was the Western without Charles Bronson it was just a picture of the west then without him but with him in it it was a guaranteed true blue Western and a good one at that those steel eyes with that kind of a smile that made you wonder is he going to shoot him or is he going to help him? You never knew
Thank you so much for this compelling biography of Charles Bronson. He was a man that lived a "complete" life. Never saw a role he played that I didn't like. "Breakheart Pass" is my favorite but I liked them all. If anyone deserves to "Rest in Peace" it is Charles Bronson. Again, thank you.
Charles Branson was a brilliant actor who always seemed to give 110% in any roles he played. We miss him , we hope and pray that he has met up with Jill in Heaven or wherever you believe in, I hope that he has. RIP Charles Bronson.
When ever you don`t speak with respect about others you look into your mirror . It is not important to be best , but it is important to do your best job with heart . Otherwise you will never have success . Both are very good . Both are best in their time of life and life quality . KR
@Gerhard Shlembacher: Fully agree with you, we must often look into the mirror before starting to bludgeon others and including those who brought something to society by their work in all areas of science, art, etc ..., they contributed to make life better for humanity and we can be proud of it.
Once again, Jerry, you did another great man justice. Charlie Bronson was one of my favorite actors of all time. It did my heart good to hear what a great man he was BEHIND the camera, too. Thank you for your continuing efforts in telling these people's stories. God bless.
Like all his movies.A true hero loved by the people all over the world.He had Hard Times in life but emerged as the million dollar hero.Salute ...RIP Charles Bronson 🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
As a youngster in early 1970s I never wanted to miss a Charles Bronson movie even though I didn't know and was starting to learn, the English language. It was amazing! I thank you for bringing back those memories 👏

A great tribute to this talented actor, there was something about his face and voice that was compelling and made his film characters so believable.
So many of these Hollywood people now days make's me sick and throw up. All of these old timers like Charles Bronson and Jill Irland etc... will be honored and remembered. And thank you for the many years of great entertainment and rest in peace Charles Bronson and Jill.
Another outstanding bio on perhaps one of the most private actors of all Charles Bronson and one of my personal Hero's as a young man. Rest in peace Charles Bronson you are forever missed.
I actually "met" Charles Bronson up in Vt in the late 70s. I had no idea he lived up there. 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. RIP Charlie. You did good!
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!
He was Bad Ass Clint EastWood in Comparison But perhaps not alike But Very good But not as good as Big screen movies East A Better by far Actor Director Bronson I Miss No Replacement Great Proud Man With my Respet
I love listening to you tell the life stories of the actors my parents grew up with. They are gone now, but I know they would love your channel as much as I do! Thank you for all you do! May God bless you and your family 🙏
I never ever remember him being on the late night talk shows. I feel he was a private guy and didn't need all that Hollywood excess B. S. It totally added to his mystic. A WW2 veteran tailgunner as well. Much respect and God Bless.
Very nice tribute to Bronson. We all liked the characters he played. The dedication to Jill Ireland by stopping making movies was really something special.
John Wayne, Charles Broson, Eastwood, Elvis, McQueen, they just don't make them anymore!!! Actors who made you want to be a better man! God Bless and Thank You...one and all forever remembered for good!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😇
I heard Elvis wanted/was maybe going to play the part of A Star is born.that.kris Kristofferson did instead , which woulda been good for him but his manager messed it up
@@MrBojangles788 It would be rare event that the Col. mess up! But everyone make one sometime. The Col., Red, and Carl Perkins getting injury then becoming signature guitar for Elvis made it possible to become a one name super star. June 07, 1973 watch Elvis concert it was flawless. The only time I paid to see a concert and a decade later sold one unused ticket for $300... Atlanta, Ga. I paid $500 for a ticket to see another concert that good. In 73 Elvis was beyond anyone then or later. Guess Dixie sung by Elvis in Atlanta was Awesome and last of a bygone time. Good memories 👍🏻😇!!! Thanks didn't know he was up for the part. Bet Roy Orbison would been cool for that part also.
@@stephenmitchell3569 dang thats awesome. Ima check out that show right now if its on youtube. I watched about half of the movie Nixon and Elvis on amazon. Was really entertaining. Thanks for the cool story peace brother
I just came across these videos, supposedly this guy Bob Joyce is Elvis. I dunno the voice sounds right on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tMLBb0UdDZA.html
Mr. Skinner. Your dedication to document the lives of these actors as they lived has been a joy to watch. Without your commitment to research and to share these videos we would never had known the struggles and victory of their lives. I sincerely hope someday someone will present a document on your life as well. You deserve to be remembered as a friend of Hollywood's greatest actors. God bless you real good my friend.
@@terencedenman702 I enjoy the commentary but ,yes, I’ve heard several inaccuracies in them. Minor points I guess, but still. In Death Wish for example, it was his daughter’s rape and his wife’s murder that he sought to avenge.
Thank you for this documentary! On year ago on 15 th december, my best friend passed away. We spent times watching Charles Bronson movies. He was a respectful great person, as well as my friend. It has just made me some tears in my eyes.
This man possessed things rarely seen nor ever Will be seen again in Hollywood: integrity, compassion and loyalty. May he be at peace with Our Creator in Heaven along with All those he Loved.
I absolutely love Charles Bronson, from his early roles in tv westerns, his own series ‘Man With a Camera’ to his blockbuster movies. What a real actor is!
Wonderful and very touchy, heartfelt documentary. Thank you so much for shedding some light on this incredible actor's life story as well as his family.
