This classic picture shows a happy father in Bruce Lee with his son Brandon Lee, sometime in 1967. The legendary actor and influential martial artist died in 1973 due to a cerebral edema. Brandon grew up to be a famous actor, too. His breakthrough role in acting came in 1992 when he was offered the role of Eric Draven in "The Crow." On March 31, 1993, while shooting the said film, Brandon, 28 years old at the time, was killed after having been accidentally shot with a prop gun.
In an interview prior to his tragic death, Lee quoted a passage from Paul Bowles' book, "The Sheltering Sky;" a quote that is now inscribed on his tombstone. It reads, “Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really.”
