MINI BIO:
Rugged, latterly mustachioed American star, a former juvenile delinquent, miner, and boxer who turned to acting after World War II. For many years cast as villains and men of violence, he broke through to stardom only in 1968, after which he played heroes and men of violence at just as prolific a rate as before. One of the world's top box office stars through most of the 1970s, he was married (second) to British-born actress Jill Ireland from 1968 to her death. Kept going in craggy leading roles into his late seventies. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:

He was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Motion Pictures. Bronson was never nominated for an Academy Award.

Matson: It wouldn't make any difference. Go ahead, shoot it off and I'll still get you. You shoot out my eyes, and I'll still find you! If you put a bullet in my heart then I'll make a deal with the devil! I'd trade him for just enough time to come back from hell and kill you! You hear me? I'm gonna kill you!
Jamie Wagner: I ain't never going to get mixed up with women folk.
Chino Valdez: Well, what a man says and what a man does doesn't always end up the same thing.
