He died in after spending more than four decades in prison. Gregory Peck is best known for his larger-than-life film roles, particularly as Atticus Finch in 'To Kill a Mockingbird. American actor Ray Liotta is best known for his on-the-edge tough-guy characterizations in films like Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas and No Escape Nineteen-year-old Charles Starkweather embarked on a murderous rampage in January that left 10 people dead.
I'd say Bronson was closer to anyway. Paul Kersey was supposed to be nearly 15 years younger than Bronson. Probably similar height and weight, though Douglas was one of the most notorious lift wearers in movie history so if anything I'd give Douglas the 5'8. I think 5'8. Majestyk etc. If you look at a 5'8. Similarly, even when he was 69, Bronson not only measured up more than an inch taller than 5'8" Sean Penn, but Penn has always given a significantly shorter impression, definitely another 5'8" guy like Wahlberg too doesn't give the impression of being near Bronson's height as he never seems average.
I definitely can't see a guy like Marlon Brando taller than Bronson. I did think in Death Wish 3 it was a toss up between 5'8. And there's a scene early where he's sitting on a bench, you can see his shoes and ankle and when he stands up with 5'8. There's a scene in The Mechanic too where he has slippers and is just a bit shorter than Jan Michael Vincent in shoes.
I don't know, at times he can look too short and squat to be 5'9 or more, I think overall 5'8. These stills are pretty representative of how the difference looked: Click Here Click Here As you can see, Bronson wore flat shoes in that scene: Click Here The short stuff is just rumors, imo.
He's looked at least 5'9" when he's been barefoot in films. Many think Mitchum was joking with the comment about John Wayne's lifts too. Mitchum called De Niro short too and he was likely 5'8. Though if anything, I'd say Bronson had a better chance of being the full 5'9" than De Niro.
I've certainly seen Bronson look taller than I've ever seen De Niro look. I can't make a real guess on him. Bronson wasn't 5'10", but he could definitely pass for it at times. I'd believe 5'9. I believe Michael Winner that Bronson was 5'9", no more, no less.
He's a pretty typical height to get listed 5'10". This description was written by a journalist who interviewed him published in The Town Talk October 30, and The Morning News October 20, among other papers: "Even the technicians kept their distance as year old, 5-foot wouldn't-hurt-a-fly Charlie Bronson strolled moodily around the set of "Death Wish. Better chance of Bronson being cm and Brando being , imo. I do agree 5'8. He has to be either or , imo.
At times Bronson could look as low at 5'7. I'm an easy six one and a half, but Bronson didn't seem much shorter. He was certainly well above my shoulder. I wouldn't even be surprised if Norris measured 5'8" today so I'd say 5'8. Even if Chuck was a flat 5'8", Bronson looks over 5'9" with him. You could tell he wasn't 5'10" even when he looked it, but he seemed bigger than a 5'8" range guy.
Bronson did work out, stay in shape outside of stamina, which he struggled with way back during Hard Times due to smoking and still had better posture than a lot of younger men.
If he had lose height or noticeable height by that time, then that only increases the chance he was 5'9" peak. He was not tall, I agree with cm maybe cm in peak but his face of hard man, his security and talent making differents roles and characters in the movies it made him singular and exclusive.
Bronson had dress shoes with Penn, but one looked to have a bigger heel, which you can spot in other films like The Dirty Dozen too Frank2 said this was a war injury.
I use to think Bronson was 5'9" peak and shrunk to 5'8. Borgnine like Savalas, is a mystery. But I think with Bronson, he started off with credence given to the 5'7" rumors and only now is he really being judged by how he looks. He was noticeably taller than Wolford Brimley in 10 to Midnight, who surprisingly I don't think has a page here. Bronson may have worn lifts at times, but not the 4" lifts they'd have to be for him to be 5'7".
Can't explain Vera Cruz though, but Borgnine also pulled off 5 ft 11 range with big Sterling Hayden in another picture from that year, Johnny Guitar, perhaps he got some big lifts in his wardrobe that year! Bronson still consistently looked no less than an inch taller than 5'8" Sean Penn in every premiere photo of them at age I'm not sure what footwear bronson had with Penn, but he did look taller, which for a nearly 70 year old was remarkable Is there any clear shot showing Bronson wore lifts?
Even if he did at times, he could look the 5'10" he was always listed at. The 5'7" figure came from that silly 90s Washington Post article that had Burt Reynolds at 5'8" and Arnold at 5'10"! Really could pull off 5 ft 9 range at times. He didn't drop below cm until his 70s and cm peak is likely.
We've seen him look around that in a couple of films barefoot, including the Great Escape. I can forgive him for wearing lifts after he became a leading man, but you can see him in dozens of roles before he became a star, and he always seems short. The man had a terrific face and a rough, working class dignity. In the Death Wish movies he played an architect, which was a bigger stretch than if he had played somebody tall.
How do you know Sean Penn and Chuck Norris weren't wearing lifts there too? Norris was a more obvious lift wearer than Bronson. Bronson's footwear doesn't have any noticeable bulge to it with Penn, maybe an extra heel, but he's also 70 years old and still taller than Penn. Bronson at 70 with 5'8" Sean Penn who claims 5'9": Click Here Click Here Bronson could still look near 5'10" with Penn and he's taller in every decent picture of the 2 of them. Penn was comfortably taller than Dennis Hopper at those same events so it's tough to argue less than 5'8" for Penn.
Definitely a solid 5'9" for Bronson. He could pull off 5'11" with 2" shoes. I'd guess he was about 5'8. His arms and legs seem short. Unusually muscular though, and if he had been tall with that build he could have played football at a high level. He could look pretty built at times.
He wasn't Probably depending on the role. May have got as high as at some point? I don't know what significance this has with respect to Bronson's true height, but I never thought of him as being especially short, so it was surprising to me that the film made it such an important part of his character.
Bronson, from what I've read did seem to have a short temper. Once a director had set up a shot with I think Donald Sutherland and another big guy Clint Walker or someone and put Bronson right between them The heights given for characters in films are almost always untrue.
His mug shot in DeathWish 3 shows 5'11" albeit with shoes so he was definitely on or around the 5'10" mark. This reads true as Ed Lauter who was a strong 6'2" had around 4 inches on him, possibly during the latter stages of his career he may have dipped to 5'8" but peak 5'10", no less I think at times he does convince me as a weak 5'9", although when he got to the top of the cast list, I believe he wasn't adverse to popping on lifts.
I think on seeing him without shoes, I didn't think he was as short as expected. At times he would have worn lifts though in films. In "Vera Cruz" he looked about three inches shorter than Ernest Borgnine. The only thing i know perfectly is lino 's height since someone wrote that his gran father had a bar where Lino came to have a few drink.
He had to give his height and weight. So if charles Bronson is an inch taller, he is something like cm. In the movie the Stone Killer he works with Norman Fell. 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.
