Pierce Brosnan is all too familiar with the pain of personal loss and grief.
While promoting his new AMC show The Son, the 63-year-old actor recently opened up about the heartbreak of his past — twin tragedies that struck 22 years apart: Brosnan lost his first wife, Cassandra, and their daughter, Charlotte to ovarian cancer.
“There is an incredible cruelty in it all, losing a person you shared everything with,” he previously told People in 1992, four months after Cassandra’s death. “This is the first time in my life I’ve ever experienced bereavement, and it’s overwhelming.”

Nancy Ellison knows a thing or two about celebrities. The Hollywood-bred photographer grew up in the presence of stars, watching them from movie sets as a child and eventually turning her own lens on the actors and actresses of Tinsel Town during her decades-long career.
"Altered Egos" features over 100 of her photographs at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles. Familiar faces like Jack Nicholson, River Phoenix, Sharon Stone and more are on view, revealing intimate, empathetic portraits.
"I saw celebrities -- often out-of-work celebrities -- in daily life," Ellison explained in an interview with PMc Magazine. "I saw the effects of the Hollywood blacklist on the lives of school friends. I was witness to the complete reality of celebrity. My awe was slowly replaced by sympathy."
'Altered Egos' opens on March 19, 2013 at the Pacific Design Center and runs until June 1.
