Pierce Brosnan

By Peter Carrick

Book Overview

Born into a humble background and a broken home, Pierce Brosnan doggedly pursued his dream of being an actor with an invaluable asset -- the undying love and support of his future wife, Cassandra. Yet as he worked to establish himself and start a family of his own, Brosnan was faced with a more personal challenge -- his beloved Cassandra was stricken with cancer. While they faced the illness together, Brosnan got his first big break on American television, the star-making title role in Remington Steele. After the tragic loss of his wife, Brosnan embraced fatherhood as a reason to carry on -- and found his career accelerating still further with his stunning successes as James Bond and in The Thomas Crown Affair. And with new love Keely Shaye Smith, his family celebrated the birth of another child. Yet as the couple planned their nuptials, a frightening accident brought things to a standstill. Relying on the strength of character that helped make him a star, Brosnan faced one more obstacle on his path to happiness... In this book, newly available to American readers and exclusively updated, Peter Carrick details the drama and the triumph of Pierce Brosnan. On the heels of the twentieth James Bond film, Die Another Day, this compelling biography will enlighten his fans and win him new ones. Book jacket.
