An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Charles Bronson was born "Charles Buchinski" in 1921, and although he was only 5' 10", no one doubted his toughness. He was one of 14 children of a coal miner, and he was far from an overnight success. He didn't have his first movie role until he was 29 in 1951, and throughout the 1950s he labored in minor roles (often as a villain, because of his looks), and a few major roles in very minor movies. In 1960, when he was 38 he played Bernardo O'Reilly in The Magnificent Seven, followed by Danny "The Tunnel King" in The Great Escape, both for director John Sturges, followed by his role as Wladislaw in The Dirty Dozen, and those roles gained him much notice, and built him a cult following. But it was when he went to Europe the following year, for Once Upon a Time in The West, for Sergio Leone, and other "spaghetti" westerns, that he became an international superstar. Back in the U.S. he made the movie he is likely best remembered for, Death Wish, in 1974 (when he was 53), and the next year he starred in Hard Times, completely credible as the ultimate street fighter, even though he was 54! He was married in 1963, when he worked with David McCallum on the set of The Great Escape, and McCallum introduced Bronson to his wife Jill Ireland, and five years later Bronson and Ireland divorced their spouses and married, and remained married until Ireland's death in 1990 from breast cancer. Bronson passed away in 2003 at the age of 81. Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by Charles Bronson! Note that this autographed item was consigned to us by a husband and wife who have been collecting autographs and other movie memorabilia for over 30 years! They have obtained some of it in person (at conventions or collectible shows where celebrities appeared) or they purchased them from reputable autograph dealers who had credentials with U.A.C.C., I.A.D.A-C.C. or the Manuscript Society. In many cases they obtained certificates of authenticity for individual items, and in those cases, we have photographed the COA and put it on the auction. In some cases, they received a COA for multiple items, or did not receive one, and in those cases, we do not of course picture one. They made every attempt to only buy authentic signed items, and we believe that all of the items from their collection that we are offering (as is true of all the signed items we are auctioning) are authentic (and we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction).
