Talk about Jill Ireland and her role opposite her ex-husband David McCallum comes to mind. She was a pretty thing and you will surely fell in love with her if you see her in the hit TV series, 'That Man from U.N.C.L.E'. Then she married Charles Bronson,the fore-runner of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rambo action. Jill acted in some good shows alongside him. A great movie they were together in was 'Breakout'. It is sad that Jill died of breast cancer and Bronson of pneumonia after having Alzheimer's. In the grand old days of 1970s, Bronson was one of the top 10 actors with box-office performance. Do you see such Bronson greats such as the Death Wish series, The Mechanic,'Magnificent Seven' and 'The Great Escape'?

It seems like I remember hearing about Jill Ireland passing away of cancer. I sure didn't know that Charles Bronson died of pneumonia after having alzheimer's, though. That is so sad. He was a good actor. Alzheimer's is such a terrible disease. My mother had this and not only is it hard on the victim, it's also hard on the caregivers. I had a bookstore from 1984 to 1986 and we rented movies and vcrs as well as sold books. We had a lot of Charles Bronson movies. I've seen The Great Escape but not The Magnificent Seven. Kathy.

In the university, whenever there is a Charles Bronson show in town, we will go in a group just to watch it. Jill Ireland was already well-known by then especially with her near Latina looks. She acted in many movies in roles of senorita such as in Villa Rides. Her fight with cancer was documented in two of her books and she died when writing her third. I think the death of Jill also affected the emotional health of Bronson. Bronson has a screen presence especially in Magnificent Seven and the Great Escape.

Did you know Bronson and McCallum both attended her funeral?

Yes, I saw Death Wish series, and I always though Charles Bronson was cool. I dont really fancy Rambo action as much, though I do find Schwarzenegger's Terminator watchable even today. I prefer Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop. May be I like it all humorous and silly. :)

I never saw Jill Ireland's movies.

Well, Charles Bronson has left his mark upon the silver screen. He has also left a mark in our hearts and in our minds. He was a great actor of his time. He provide us the entertainment and we will always remember his contribution to Hollywood.

Jill Ireland and Charles Bronson made a good pair in movies.
They complimented each other very well in movies. I liked them in Villa Rides!, a gritty tale of Pancho Villa who was a Mexican Revolutionary and Bronson played his second commander. I also enjoyed Bronson in the The Great Escape.
He was a great actor doing those rough guy roles.

I kind of thought that Bronson was a Mexican in real life because he had that
Latino look and later found out that he is actually of Lithuanian decent after reading
his bio. His real name is Buchinskas.

I did not know Jill was married to McCallum. So sad that she died young.
She was very glamorous.
