The World of James Bond Mourns The Passing of Pierce Brosnan's Daughter

The World of James Bond Mourns The Passing of Pierce Brosnan's Daughter

July 2, 2013- It seems like only yesterday when the world was fixated on the loss of a major star's wife to ovarian cancer in a story fit for a romantic tear-jerker.  That star was Pierce Brosnan, whose wife Cassandra died in 1991, at the age of only 43 years young.  Cassandra, incidentally, was one of the driving forces behind Pierce taking the role as the world's most famous secret agent, James Bond 007.  Following her loss, Pierce touched the world with these words,"

"When your partner gets cancer, then life changes. Your timetable and reference for your normal routines and the way you view life, all this changes. Because you're dealing with death. You're dealing with the possibility of death and dying. And it was that way through the chemotherapy, through the first-look operation, the second look, the third look, the fourth look, the fifth look. Cassie was very positive about life. I mean, she had the most amazing energy and outlook on life. It was and is a terrible loss, and I see it reflected, from time to time, in my children."


It is with shock and sadness that the BBC reported that on June 28, Pierce and Cassandra's daughter, Charlotte died at 41 years young, after a 3 year battle with the same dreaded disease.  Pierce released this statement:

"On June 28 at 2 p.m. my darling daughter Charlotte Emily passed on to eternal life, having succumbed to ovarian cancer.  Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl," said the man who had played James Bond four times.  We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon. We thank everyone for their heartfelt condolences." 

Pierce Brosnan is not only James Bond, but an actor and a humanitarian who is beloved around the world.    These losses are hard to understand and our hearts and prayers are with him and his family at this difficult time.
