BROSNAN GRATEFUL FOR SECOND WIFE KEELY
PIERCE BROSNAN has heaped praise on his wife KEELY for encouraging him to= continue to mourn his late spouse CASSIE, who died of cancer.
The GoldenEye star gave up his career to nurse his first wife, Australi= an actress Cassandra Harris, as she fought ovarian cancer - and he was de= vastated when she finally succumbed to the disease in 1991.
And the actor admits he was lucky to find love again with writer Keely = Shaye Smith, who he married in 2001, because she understands his profound= feelings for Harris.
Brosnan explains, "We talk about her (Harris). I am blessed with my wif= e, Keely, who has always been remarkably kind and compassionate. Cassie i= s remembered with great love, remembered dearly. Keely has always accommo= dated that, and we have now been together 17 years. You know, I have the = luck of the Irish. I’ve had great luck in finding a partner.
"Cancer is a hard one to live with. To see someone suffer for four year= s, when the moment comes it’s a relief that the suffering has gone. It’s = very hard to talk about death with somebody, but one day she said, ‘It do= esn’t look so good for me.’ We held each other and wept and had a cup of = tea. A cup of tea always sorts things out, and then you sort out your pri= orities."
