Fell is said to be 5'9, No Way! In the Stone killer Bronson and Fell are the exact same height. Plus look smaller than many of the the other actor's. Add 2" heels to Bronson now he's 5'9. Watch the Valachi paper's as he walks away in the end with Gerald S. O'Loughlin who plays the investigator.
O'Loughlin" In the movie Valachi Papers they walk away side by side and are the same height. Just as Bronson is the same height as 5'7 Strother Martin in Hard time's. Bronson always kept fit and thin which made him appear taller than actors the same height who would look shorter due to their more out of shape bodies. I have seen pictures of identical twin's where one is thin and the other heavier.
Even though they are the same height the thin one appear's taller till they stand side by side. Their where people who argue Bronson was 5' Even in Chato's land you could easily see Bronson was short while standing at the bar in the begining.
Too many instance's where Bronso looks A lot shorter than what is claimed. I'm 5'7 and I can always tell everyone I am 5'9 and pass a such until someone actually measure's me. But I agree that just when you think he's obviously close to 5 ft 9 he can look 5'7" range. I think he'd be pretty similar to Sean Penn in height and weight.
Stallone has the same hang up with his height. Half the women in hollywood lie about there height now. Bronson used camera angles and lift's. As a past poster noted same height as 5'7 Strother Martin in Hard time's.
If you look real close in Hard Time's Bronson has pretty big heel's on his boots, enough where it arche's his stance and makes him stand a bit strange. A good indication is stop the scene where Bronson is talking to Coburn on the balcony of the hotel, he puts his foot up on the railing, unrealistic heel's on those boots.
Autobiography's don't tend to lie. Bronson's father who was a coal miner was 5'7 also. Never looked under 5'10", even in his sixties. If he's just 5 ft 6 or 7 are you telling me she is just 5 ft 1? I don't think so. Look at his proportions. He's slouching in the Borgnine picture and standing further back than him. He does look shorter in that comparison but he never looked under 5 ft 8 to me! Click Here No way was he only 5''7"!! It could look less earlier in the movie because she had footwear advantage and Bronson was slouching.
It could seem less than 2 inches actually. He looks about 1. Somewhere in 5'8 range makes sense actually, even with Ullmann, although he slouches and hunches a lot so can look shorter. He's really hard to nail down, just when you think he's looking 5'9" barefoot he'll look 5'7" range.
Check this out. He could look taller than that with Susan. I think that would be fair. He's one of those guys I know you're very dubious about his real height, his shifty demeanour doesn't help either but we do have him barefoot there which is better really to judge from I think.
I think it could be possible, how he beats out Chuck, it must be from bigger heels. Perhaps 5'8. I think at times he had to have something, he could pull off taller at times, look with Chuck Norris , he's managed to beat him! I never thought he looked that low See 7 minutes range barefoot with Susan George. Click Here He could pull off looking 5'9 but I think you'd be more accurate with 5'8. Can you add a photo? I would say he is either 5'9", the same as Landon's listing or else if this 5'8" listing for him is correct then Michael Landon was also 5'8".
I think 5'9" is the best guess, and he often looked 5'10" without suspicious looking shoes. I also agree that Bronson was still at least 5'8. I just can't see 5'8" flat at all for Bronson.
Peggy Lipton is also in it and listed at 5'6" here. Bronson was several inches taller, but I didn't see her shoes that well. Some were full body shots and if Marvin was 6'2" then Bronson was looking at least 5'10" during those ending scenes. I definitely didn't see more than 4 inches between Bronson and Anthony Perkins in "Someone Behind The Door" and even at 70, he was visibly taller than Sean Penn in a few premiere pictures.
But even then, it doesn't completely make sense because Ed Lauter who is listed at 6'1. By the way, Bronson once again looked well over 5'8" next to James Mason in "Cold Sweat" Click Here Mason walks by Bronson around and there doesn't look to be much of a height difference, and Bronson wasn't wearing boots in this movie. Mason was about 60 so he could have shrunk a bit from the 5'11" he's listed at here, but Bronson still looks above 5'9" in that movie and without suspicious footwear.
Click Here Here's a picture where Bronson does look a solid 5'9" in comparison with his footwear advantage, though the low angle also gives an advantage to the taller person Elvis Click Here And here are a couple of more stills. Click Here Click Here. But it is surprising Bronson got that bloated look in his face considering I'm unaware if he was a heavy drinker, and still looked to be a strong guy in good shape for his age even a couple of years later in Death Wish 3.
But Bronson's age was unfortunately pretty obvious during the scenes where he had to run. Of course, there are loads of cops, both young and middle-aged who are out of shape and aren't going to be able to move too quickly.
With that said, Bronson did age a lot between Hard Times and this movie. You'd think there was more than 8 years between the movies considering what great shape he was in for a man who was already when he made Hard Times. I don't know what the statute was in early 80's LA, but you never know what kind of plea deals are made, how politics factor in, and whether or not a prosecutor will be sympathetic since they may be aware of information that would be inadmissible to a jury.
Granted, Bronson wouldn't have too much leverage due to his admission, but your past record often works in your favor during sentencing.
I do also know there have been cops who have done worse things and not seen jail time, though in those cases, there typically hasn't been an admission and those tend to be dragged out in lawsuits and usually wind up in forced retirement, at least from what I've seen, though I'm neither a cop nor a lawyer. Either way, this is a bit besides the point since there is obviously a process, and Bronson wouldn't be remanded without bail during this time, so him being out on the streets in itself until the end of the movie isn't unrealistic itself.
His biggest legal problem would be the shooting at the end of the movie with too many witnesses for Bronson to claim imminent danger. I'd say what's most likely is, he'd lose his pension. Bronson would have been arrested for faking evidence. He could definitely look 5'10" in the 70's and 80's, and I don't whether he wore lifts, but they clearly weren't big enough to give near 3 inches.
He could give a smaller impression in early movies, but look at the series of pictures with Sean Penn in when Bronson was 70 and he looked a couple of inches taller, or with Chuck Norris in the 80's, and how about The Mechanic?
If Jan Michael Vincent was anywhere near the 5' The Height difference I saw was 3 to 4 cm max. I'm starting to think that Charles Bronson was a legit 5ft 9in guy. Charles standing in front of a height chart in Death Wish 3. Click Here Editor Rob. Click Here Probably standing on a box!
That's odd. Coburn makes him look 5'8"-5'9". He also looked 5'10" it a lot of other films I've seen him in. With fans chasing him I let him and a little girl on the ride free to escape the mob. We stood inches away from each other, spoke and looked each other in the eye. He could look shorter in earlier movies, but in his 80's films he looked more 5'9"-5'10" than 5'7"-5'8".
For example, in Death Wish 3, he usually looks roughly 5'9" next to Ed Lauter listed at 6'1. And there's this photo from with Chuck Norris. Click Here Unfortunately, it's not a full body pic, but Charles looks close to if not 5'10" if Norris is 5'8.
I doubt Bronson was ever the 5'10" he was usually listed at, but I think 5'8. But he wore lifts in the movies. Not so good looking but effective in action movies. Anything in between 5ft 8 and 5ft 9in is believable. I'd guess him at cm in the '60s and '70s. Probably cm in his last fifteen years. He became after all famous at an old age. Standing next to a guy for several minutes at a time gives you a good idea of his height. I was there and that's it!
I spoke to him later near his dressing room and our eyelines were exactly the same level. I'm 5ft 8 and so was Charlie. Why ever would one of us be crouching?
I am 5ft 8in and exactly the same height as Bronson. Hello there, Wild Bill. Were you both barefoot, at the time? Was any of you crouching? How did you measure your own height? Anyone more than an inch or two above 5ft 8in was out of the loop. This was not the case in many of Charlie's '60s films, nor in Death Hunt, in which he was paired with the superlative Lee Marvin.
Maybe they just cast a lot of short actors in it. Tony Curtis seems to be clearly taller Than Charles Bronson, one inch at least, so maybe Charles Bronson is 5,7 or midway between 5,7 and 5,8, but a sharp 5,8 seems improbable to me, if Tony Curtis really is 5,8. LOL his casefile claims he is 6 ft and pounds! They were nearly the same height. She was wearing low heels. I watched Death Wish last night and very few of the actors, a handful at the most, were taller than Bronson, so maybe he really did have a height complex.
He could come across as a tall man because of his tough looks, presence and build but I would say 5'8" is a fair estimate. To people who say he was 5'6" because of something they saw of him as an old man, maybe he was 5'6" as an old man, people shrink with age but I presume this is a listing of his prime height in which case 5'6" would be way off in my opinion. So is Hal Needham highest paid stuntman in the world at one time who made guys like, Richard Boone look good on camera.
When you get right down to it the smaller guy tends to be tougher and stronger pound per pound. Agility is harder to come by when you are larger as well.
Bigger is often slower although not every time. Point is it's all about attitude. At 5' 6" I can intimidate guys twice my size because really mean it and they never have had to In the 70's, he looked at least 5'9", but he could look more like 5'8" in earlier movies.
Broderick Crawford was 6 foot tall. Charles Bronson comes to about his shoulder and has to look up at the rest of the cast. Who ever said Bronson was ever 5"11 is blind. In the movie he plays a prisoner nicknamed Junior. He is the shortest in the cast by at least 5 inch's. Watch the movie, everyone tower's over Bronson, so if we believe that Bronson was ever 5'11 then the rest of the cast would have to be 6'5, highly unlikely.
Watch the movie and see. They played boxers, and both appeared to be the same height and weight. Martin's height is listed on the Internet as 5'8". Actually, Martin looks a bit taller than Bronson. Keenan Wynn was in that picture, and he is listed at 5'10". Wynn is considerably taller than both boxers. Movies need such characters. His effectiveness might have been lessened had he been a big man. Bronson id significantly shorter than every male on the show. I think he was about 5'6".
She told me Charles was about 5'8" which is my height. Also, her son in law about 5'6" is in a picture with Bronson taken around They both look to be about the same height.
Although, I'm not sure Bronson called the shots on the production of his films until the early 70s Death Wish onward. He's listed at 6. James J. And pretty much the same height as 5'7" Strother Martin in Hard Times.
The best examples that I can see. Bronson was in one of the first episodes of Marshal Dillon. James Arness towered over him at 6ft6. Those guys were 5ft6 to 5ft8. Bronson was 5ft8. I've heard he had issues with height, but he had no reason to--he was the real deal, being a Purple Heart winning B tailgunner.
One other note about Bronson: he was another guy with very good posture. For good reading on him, I would recommend Michael R. Randy Quaid is a very big guy. He was considerably taller than Bronson, but did not completely owned him as he should have if Bronson was only 5'8". Bronson just might be 5'10" as stated in other websites.
Watch mr majestik. Bronson remained busy throughout the s, with most of his films taking a more violent tone, and he was pitched as an avenging angel eradicating evildoers in films like the 10 to Midnight , The Evil That Men Do , Assassination and Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects Was by all accounts a very quiet and introspective collaborator, often sitting in a corner for much of a shoot and listening to a director's instructions and not saying a word until cameras were rolling.
Don Siegel, who directed him in Telefon , and Tom Gries, who directed him in Breakheart Pass , both commented on how surprised they were to discover how thoroughly and completely prepared Bronson was when he came to work, as it didn't seem to fit his "laid-back", taciturn image. Action fans could not get enough of tough guy Bronson, and he appeared in what many fans--and critics--consider his best role: Depression-era street fighter Chaney alongside James Coburn in Hard Times However, the film that proved to be a breakthrough for both Bronson and Winner came in with the release of the controversial Death Wish written with Henry Fonda in mind, who turned it down because he was disgusted by the script.
The US was at the time in the midst of rising street crime, and audiences flocked to see a story about a mild-mannered architect who seeks revenge for the murder of his wife and rape of his daughter by gunning down hoods, rapists and killers on the streets of New York City.
So popular was the film that it spawned four sequels over the next 20 years. Bronson then hooked up with British director Michael Winner to star in several highly successful urban crime thrillers, including The Mechanic and The Stone Killer He then scored a solid hit as a Colorado melon farmer-done-wrong in Richard Fleischer's Mr. American audiences were by now keen to see Bronson back on US soil, and he returned triumphantly in the early s to take the lead in more hard-edged crime and western dramas, including The Valachi Papers and the revenge western Chato's Land After nearly 25 years as a working actor, he became an 'overnight" sensation.
Several more strong roles followed, then once again he was back in military uniform, alongside Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine in the testosterone-filled The Dirty Dozen Sergio Leone once called him "the greatest actor I ever worked with". Leone had wanted Bronson for all three of what became known as the "Man with No Name" trilogy, but Bronson turned him down each time.
He turned down the lead role in A Fistful of Dollars after describing it as the "worst script I have ever seen"; he turned down the role of Col.
Lee Thompson. Ives and The White Buffalo The s proved to be the era in which Bronson made his reputation as a man of few words but much action. Indie director Roger Corman cast him as the lead in his well-received low-budget gangster flick Machine-Gun Kelly , then Bronson scored the lead in his own TV series, Man with a Camera The governor suffered serious bruising. In July , Bronson was sentenced to two years.
The prison had accepted that his mail may have been unacceptably processed. In August , Bronson announced that he was changing his name via deed poll to Charles Salvador, in tribute to the artist Salvador Dali. In a hand-written statement on his website, Salvador stated that "The old me dried up Bronson came alive in He died in Under this new name, he began creating works of art described as "fantasy reality". A collection of these works was auctioned in October The Guardian reported in that the sale of several of Bronson's artworks, which were formerly owned by Ronnie Kray, raised several thousand pounds for his mother to have a holiday.
It followed her upset after Bronson's reported attack launched against 12 prison guards at HMP Woodhill. I was still violent — and they were now certifying me sane. Where's the sanity in that? Isn't the system just as crazy?
My vision is terrible; I have to wear shaded glasses even to read. Years of solitary have left me unable to face the light for more than a few minutes. It gives me terrible headaches if I do Years of loneliness in small cells have left me paranoid about people invading my space. I now can't stand people getting too close, crowding me.
I hate people breathing on me and I hate smelly bodies coming near me. Mouths to me are simply for eating — never for kissing A man needs a routine to cope with such an extreme situation. For me it is my push-ups and sit-ups. I also pace the room and count each step.
Some I know lie down on their beds for three hours on their left side, three hours on their right, and three on their back. In August a petition with 10, signatures was presented to 10 Downing Street calling for his release. In an enclosed note, Bronson appealed to prime minister David Cameron for him to be able to "live what's left of my life and not be buried in the prison system". I'm the king of the press-ups and the sit-ups. I've already said I once did 25 press-ups with two men on my back, and I've squatted with three men on my shoulders!
I've been making prison fitness records for as long as I can remember. Show me another man — a man half my age — who can pick up a full-size snooker table.
I can. Show me another guy who can rip out 1, press-ups in an hour. I can I once went eight years without using weights, then I went into a gym and bench pressed lb ten times. I'm 5ft 11in, I weigh lb and I feel as strong as did when I was There's something deep inside me that pushes me on.
I'm a solitary fitness survivor. The display was organised by Art Below, which is unrelated to the official Transport For London art programme. The National Victims' Association, which represents families affected by crime, queried the desirability of allowing Bronson "to engage with the British public in this way".
His work was soon removed by an unknown party for unexplained reasons. He was due for a parole hearing in September , but this was postponed when his lawyer objected to a one-hour parole interview, requesting a full day to deal with Bronson's case. The parole hearing took place on 11 March , and the board refused parole shortly afterwards.
Bronson, which loosely follows Bronson's life, was released in Britain on 13 March Due to his record of violent anger and mental illness in prison, Bronson is one of the highest-profile criminals in Britain. He has been featured in books, interviews, and studies in prison reform and treatment.
He has said: "I'm a nice guy, but sometimes I lose all my senses and become nasty. That doesn't make me evil, just confused. While in prison, Bronson developed a fitness regime and in claimed he could still do press-ups in 60 seconds and 94 press-ups in 30 seconds. In , he published the book Solitary Fitness, detailing an individual training process with minimal resources and space. In , two prison staff members at Full Sutton high security dispersal prison in the East Riding of Yorkshire were involved in a "control and restraint incident", in an attempt to prevent another hostage situation, during which Bronson had his glasses broken.
She had seen his picture and an article about him in a newspaper and began writing to him. Rehman had visited Bronson ten times before they married. She had worked at a women's shelter before they met, but lost her job when her employer found out about the relationship.
For a short time, Bronson converted to his wife's faith of Islam, and wished to be known as Charles Ali Ahmed, but did not change his name legally. After four years he and Rehman divorced, and he renounced Islam. During this period, Bronson appealed against his life sentence, but three appeal court judges rejected the application in April His body changes Damon Wayans Jr. The Latest.
