When Charles Bronson met Jill Ireland, he reportedly announced to her husband David McCallum, "I'm going to marry your wife." Bronson was serious, too, and the gorgeous blonde soon became a partner to Bronson in both marriage and movies. (Not surprisingly, she was also a regular co-star of McCallum's during his days on The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) Ireland had an icy beauty that played nicely off her craggy husband, and their films together include classics such as The Mechanic (1972), The Valachi Papers (1972), and Hard Times (1975)--plus underrated trash like From Noon Till Three (1976) and Love and Bullets (1976). Jill jiggled her assets in all of the above, although she showed the most of herself in Violent City (1970). Sadly, Jill died of cancer in 1990.
