It’s funny. I put up a post about a time many years ago when I co-wrote a Celtic rock musical for the Edinburgh Festival that starred a naked (and young) Pierce Brosnan. Since then, the post has been by far the most popular on this blog – despite all the other stuff happening on the planet – and I have received more feedback and emails about this than anything else.
For the vicariously curious, I remember Pierce as being a fairly ambitious guy who even then caused female hearts to flutter but who was not particularly outstanding in the naked bits department everyone seems so curious about. I remember that I gave him a lift back to London from Edinburgh in my old and battered van and dropped him off somewhere in the north of the city.
Next thing you know he’s starring in a US TV crime series.
I suppose he is not worried too much now about the economic and spiritual paralysis affecting large tracts of western society – particularly in the UK where (religious beliefs apart) huge efforts behind-the-scenes by the organised armies of political correctness are just about strangling the life out of any vestige of moral or spiritual wonder left in the country.
Last I heard Pierce Brosnan was applying for US citizenship and you can’t blame him I suppose. It would be nice to contact him again but he’d have no particular reason to speak to me, unless it was to talk about my novels and impending film option deal.
Still, enough of this rambling. Let’s see if the words ‘naked’ and ‘Brosnan’ produce another flurry of interest. I’m dashing off to Germany for a week so I’ll check on the blog when I return.
This is all so well and good, but I have a more important question about one of Malibu’s self-proclaimed humanitarians, family man, whose wife is allegedly one to support a good cause.
Surely they have seen the story in the media about Carol Plants and her belief – and one that appears very likely to be true – that she is the sister to Pierce Brosnan. Her story was recently seen in numerous media around the world, including televised on Inside Edition.
Ms. Plants came to Los Angels/Malibu looking to find answers. A letter left in her mother’s Bible upon hear death stated that her father was not the man who raised her, but none other than Thomas Brosnan. She approached individual close to Mr. Brosnan – only to have the door literally slammed in her face – this also resulted in her ultimately being left homeless.
I find it ironic that a man who claims to be such a family man and a wife who touts her own charitable efforts, have failed to come forward. If family is all that important to Mr. Brosnan, why has he come forward.
I challenge that humanity starts in the home. And IF Mr. Brosnan is the great humanitarian he claims to be and the press has painted him to be, then he should have no problem coming forward to prove this. He has nothing to lose, everything to gain – if she is his sister, she is his family, as well. Ms. Plants needs and deserves to know the truth – is Thomas Brosnan her father – thus making Pierce Brosnan her brother?
And I also ponder as to why doors are closed in her face – what does someone have to hide or why would they want to keep her such a secret?
Ms. Plants has exhausted every avenue available to her to prove that Thomas Brosnan is her father as claimed by her mother, unsucessfully. She has made contact with a relative of Mr. Brosnan’s in Ireland who is willing to provide DNA, however, experts have said there is no way to prove Mr. Brosnan is her brother, other than through a sibling.
This is not about money to her. She wants no money from Mr. Brosnan. All she wants and what she DESERVES is to know who her family is, who her father is. If the test proves that he is not, she will slip quietly from his life. If he is, what Mr. Brosnan chooses to do is entirely up to him; but for Ms. Plants it will provide answers to her that she rightfully deserves to know so she can go on with her life.
It would be a travesty in my opinion if this story was left unfinished just because of Mr. Brosnan’s celebrity status. In my opinion it would be even a bigger travesty if she IS his sister and they both lose something that is precious – a family member.
Alas, it is true. I write an online novel and in one scene, I had a girl in Panties in the window across the street from the main character.
You would be shocked to see how many people type in GIRL IN PANTIES when they search.
Anyhow, cool blog. Check mine out and see if the story suits you. If so, let me know if you’re interested in exchanging links.
