In this episode I discuss Charles Bronson's struggles while growing up in the Pennsylvania mining town - Ehrenfeld.Bronson was the highest paid actor at the height of his career in the 1970s. But he grew up in hard times, while living in the mining town of Ehrenfeld Pennsylvania. He was present during the 1927 Ehrenfeld mine explosion that killed 4 miners and trapped 300, including his father. He would lose his father to cancer when he was 11-yrs-old and then take his place in the mines. Bronson lost his virginity at age 6. His family was so impoverished that he had to wear his sisters dress to school on occasion. Bronson would rob the company store, hop a train to escape and was then shot by a railroad detective.#charlesbronson #pennsylvaniahistory #famousactorsinpennsylvaniaSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/running-into-history/donations
