The Painful Tragedy That the Brosnan Family Faced
Brosnan's daughter Charlotte died at the age of 42 of ovarian cancer. The distraught father and his family released a statement confirming that their daughter had lost her battle with the same cancer that had taken her mother's life.
The "Die Another Day" star was proud of his daughter's bravery throughout her battle. "Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl," he wrote.

When Charlotte died, Brosnan was shooting "November Man" in Eastern Europe and flew to England to be by his daughter in her final hours.
Charlotte left behind her husband, Alex Smith, and children, Isabella and Lucas. She is also survived by her brothers Christopher, Sean, Dylan, and Paris.
Brosnan's first wife, Cassandra, was 43 when she lost her ovarian cancer battle. The "Tomorrow Never Dies" star adopted Charlotte after he married her mother, and they have grown to be a close family.

When Cassandra died, Charlotte was only nine years old. But when the actress was still alive, she and Brosnan successfully blended their families.
The actress had Charlotte and Christopher from her previous marriage with Dermot Harris, who died in 1986. Things were not easy, but Brosnan was able to build a close relationship with his wife's children. He said, 'To begin with, I was Pierce, then I was Daddy Pierce, and then I just became Dad.

The actor felt lucky to have Charlotte and Christopher in his life, and once he and Cassandra welcomed their son, Sean, they all became one big happy family.
Cassandra died in 1991, and three years after her death, Brosnan met journalist Keely Shaye Smith, and they tied the knot in 2001. The couple share two children, Dylan and Paris.
Even with Smith in the picture, the actor's family blended successfully. For Marley May's fifth birthday and tribute to his late daughter, Brosnan shared a photo of him sitting outdoors, looking relaxed in a pair of black sunglasses, a white buttoned shirt, and colorful shorts, and did not forget to give his wife the photo credit.
