Jill Dorothy Ireland, sometimes known as Jill Ireland, was an English actress and singer who was born on April 24, 1936. With her second husband, Charles Bronson, she worked on 15 films together.
Ireland was the daughter of a wine importer and was born in London. In the mid-1950s, she began performing in modest roles in films such as Simon and Laura (1955) and Three Men in a Boat (1956).
In 1984, Ireland was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ireland chronicled her battle with the disease in two novels after her diagnosis. She was working on her third book at the time of her death and had recently become a spokeswoman for the American Cancer Society. President Ronald Reagan awarded her the American Cancer Society’s Courage Award in 1988 after she testified before the US Congress on medical expenditures.
Ireland died of breast cancer in 1990 at her Malibu, California home. When Charles Bronson died in 2003, she was cremated and her ashes were placed in a cane that he had buried with him at Brownsville Cemetery. Jill Ireland has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6751 Hollywood Boulevard for her contributions to the film business.
