Charles Bronson: Life Story (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@Eire_Go_Deo]

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!)

[@nicholasjanke3476]

Then he later left Harriet for Jill (though he admitted that his first marriage was in trouble at the time even before he met Jill).

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

[@gjc82071]

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.

[@kenamaro3942]

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.

During WW2 my grandfather was in the same military barracks as Bronson. (while they were stationed in the U.K., before D-Day) They weren't friends, but they knew each other & would often say hello. 'Hi, Chuck, hi Sam". My grandfather said "Chuck was always working out/lifting weights". Bronson's movies make me think of my grandfather. (he passed back in 2001) I grew up watching his movies with my grandpa & uncles. Back in the early 1990s Blockbuster Video had a section for Charles Bronson. (as well as Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, etc) Once each month my GF & I would rent some Bronson movies & get a pizza. I called it "Bronsonfest". I used to have most of his movies on VHS, but they're all gone now. (& I no longer have a VCR) I do have quite a few in avi, mp4, and mvv format. Bronson has always been one of my favorite actors, partly because of the family connection & the nostalgia, but also because he made great movies. (& II love movies from the 1960s-70s) He had a strong screen presence.

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 KZbin.God bless.

*Once upon a time, Charles Bronson* Each actor has his good and bad side as any human being but what to say Charles Bronson is a very great actor. In his super big family he was also a good father and a good husband. *R.I.P dear Mister Charles Dennis Buchinsky Bronson* *you gave us a lot of happiness through your movies*

[@antpop1605]

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.

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 👏

This was one of dad's favorite actors, the best part was that we saw the Death Wish movies together while they were rated R and I was only a kid and I got to brag to all my friends and tell them about the movie, what a great actor. Damn good movies and after we'd get home I'd run to the store and pick up a couple of brews for him and we'd chill on the couch and watch channel 41 while mom and grammy cooked up some good food. Those where good times.

"What an absolute treasure of a video, it has been a very long time since we have seen such an actor of a genuinely high moral caliber and I doubt we will ever again. KZbin would be a much more wonderful site if it had more such phenomenal videos as this one. And I am very stunned that this video has accumulated 1k of dislikes and I guess some people just hate everything. I have subscribed to this channel and liked this video. And I would encourage new people to watch this video with your heart, rather than your egos, to acquire and feel its true value to American History and a Great Man and his Families" "Well Done Jerry Skinner"

"Once Upon A Time In The West" my all time favorite Bronson Film.

[@fayebrown914]

This was WELL-DONE! Thank you! There was a TV show called "Then Came Bronson." (It was only related to him by the name.) Anyway, I had rescued dogs for decades, and I was "slowing down" with that, since groups were forming and doing a good job with it. Then on a hot 100 degree August day in California, I had to stop at Walgreens in town on my way home from work. Sitting at the entrance of the store with its automatic doors was an about 3-month-old (what looked to be) Great Dane/German shepherd mix puppy. I watched him as people went in and out of the store. He was trying to find someone, who would be his friend and take him home. He had remembered what someone had taught him, and he was using this trick (sit and shake hands) over and over again, hoping that someone would like it, like him, and take him home. He even thought that a mother and a little boy liked him, and he started to follow them, until the mother shooed him away. He went back to the door to try again. I, finally, went back in the store, and asked the cashier to call out on the loudspeaker to see if the puppy belonged to anyone. No one came forward to claim him. I went back outside, and scooped him up and took him home. On my drive home, I said to myself (who was trying to "slow down" on the dog rescue), "And THEN came 'Bronson'." The name stuck, and Bronson lived for 15 years (2000-2015). He never forgot how to sit and shake hands. He KNEW on that hot August day, that someone would like his trick, and take him home with them. I did. (I just wanted to share.)

Always loved his work. Bronson once said he was offered the Dirty Harry series but turned it down. He thought Clint Eastwood did a better job than he did. Im sure he would have been great.

[@hollylynn9322]

Michael Cranstoun Bronson is Death Wish, Eastwood is Dirty Harry, period!

[@joeygonzo]

Dirty Harry was actually offered to Steve McQueen first. So were First Blood AND The Bodyguard.

[@andrewpippa5590]

Rocky Elorde Now I could see McQueen instead of Costner in The Bodyguard. Would have been a better movie.

[@BlueHopi144]

Clint is one of the best actors / directors of his generation as well . Both are incredible

[@michaelproctor8100]

Actually Dirty Harry was offered to Frank Sinatra but he hurt his hand and the role went to Eastwood.

[@marypasco2213]

In the mid-to late ‘70, I was a waitress in a Central Valley town, in California. Working the graveyard shift, I also got breakfast. This brand new black Corvette pulled up out front. The gentleman came in, sat at the counter & ordered breakfast(don’t remember what it was). If it wasn’t Mr. Bronson, it was his EXACT double. Back then, comparatively, food wasn’t much. He was quiet. I let him have his space. He paid his bill & left. I was cleaning up his setting and under the plate he had left me a $5 tip! Back then, that was A LOT. Will never forget that. ❤️
