Actor Charles Bronson dies at 81
Charles Bronson, the Pennsylvania coal miner who drifted into films as a villain and became a hard-faced action star, notably in the popular "Death Wish" vengeance movies, has died. He was 81.
BRONSON DIED Saturday of pneumonia at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with his wife at his bedside, publicist Lori Jonas said. He had been in the hospital for weeks, Jonas said.
During the height of his career, Bronson was hugely popular in Europe; the French knew him as "le sacre monstre" (the sacred monster), the Italians as "Il Brutto" (the ugly man). In 1971, he was presented a Golden Globe as 'the most popular actor in the world."

I actually remember seeing some of his films. It surprized me to hear that he had passed away.
Charles was definitely the introducer of the bad boy in my opinion. Long before Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris started their thing Charles was already known as the 'don't mess' with me guy. he was mixed with Native American indian too wasn't he?
I believe he was mixed with some Native American.
