Early life

He was born as Charles Dennis Buchinski in the notorious Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania neighborhood of Scooptown, near Pittsburgh, one of 15 children of Polish and Lithuanian immigrants. His family was so poor that at one time he had reportedly been forced to wear his sister's dress to school because he had no other clothes.

Although Bronson was of Slavic descent, many people thought he looked like a Chicano or Mexican-American who was Mestizo (mixture of Spanish and Indian ancestry). Because of his look, Bronson sometimes played characters who were Mexican or who were part Indian.
