The role easily drew
upon the personal hardships and tragedies he's had to rise against in his own
life, as he told the Mirror Online earlier this year.
“I went through it all,
very publicly,” Brosnan said. “Such things draw a mark across your heart and
it’s always a part of your life.
“To watch someone you
love have their life eaten away – bit by bit, by this insidious and horrid
disease – becomes an indelible part of your psyche.”
Cassandra died in 1991
after becoming ill while filming a movie in India in 1987. Brosnan was left to
raise their then 8-year-old son, Sean, who grew up to become an actor himself.
Charlotte is survived by
her husband, Alex, and her children, Isabella, 15, and Lucas, 8.
Brosnan has two
children, Dylan, 16 and Paris, 12, with his second wife, journalist Keely Shaye
Smith, whom he's referred to as his guiding "North Star."
