Pierce Brosnan - profoundly lovable, totally sexy
Pierce Brosnan, besides having a terrible singing voice a la Mamma Mia! is the father of 5 kids, is a talented painter, is married to Keely Shaye Smith who is neither lipo'd nor anorexic as so many of her hollywood peers. And he is a generous philanthropist.
He came from simple beginnings: his father abandoned his mother when he was an infant in Ireland, so he was raised by relatives while his mother became a nurse and worked in London to be able to send money back home.
He was married to actress Cassandra Harris for 17 years until she succumbed to ovarian cancer and he stopped working and took care of her until she died. That's when he took up painting again. He holds both an Irish and American citizenship, proudly becoming an American citizen in 2004.
He is best known for his role in Remington Steele and as James Bond. Anybody who saw him in the Thomas Crown Affair with Rene Russo knows he is absolutely swoon-able. He's a wonderful father, husband, painter and caregiver. Pierce? Who loves you, baby?
One of the reasons we love Pierce!

A week ago, at the Grammy Museum in downtown Los Angeles, I attended an advance screening of a new film, "Coal Country," about giant coal-mining companies' despoiling of West Virginia mountaintops, and their relentless and brutal exploitation of the miners, their families and the states' government and resources to enrich themselves.
Pierce and Keeley were to host the evening (a conflicting engagement ultimately prevented them from attending), but it's obviously a measure of Pierce and Keeley's concern for those less fortunate that they would lend their names and times (and perhaps funda) to such a cause.
But I have to say that when I saw your blog post title on the cover, I thought this was going to be about Patrick McGoohan! And I thought, wow, there's a woman who goes her own way. I just re-watched most of the original Prisoner series, and he was quite handsome in his day.)
