Charles Bronson

Charles Bronson was an American war hero who became one of Hollywood’s top actors for five decades. Famous for his “tough guy” image, he often played a gunfighter or vigilante in film franchises such as the Death Wish series, in which he played a revenge-seeking ex-architect. In later life, his family revealed the star had Alzheimer’s. In the UK, the condition affects around 850,000 people and has become the most common type of dementia. The neurological disease impacts on brain functions, including the memory. The exact cause of Alzheimer’s is unknown, but factors such as a family history of the condition, a previous severe head injury, or increasing age, may be contributory factors. Bronson’s family went public with his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2001, when the star was 80 years old.
