Tough guy movie star Bronson dies at 81
The tough guy actor died on Saturday of pneumonia at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre with his wife at his bedside, publicist Lori Jonas said. He had been in the hospital for weeks, Ms Jonas said.
Like Clint Eastwood, whose spaghetti westerns won him stardom, Mr Bronson had to make European films to prove his worth as a star.
