Brandon Bruce Lee 

1965 -1993

Brandon Lee was born on February 1, 1965 the son of Bruce Lee and Linda Lee Cadwell. Brother to Shannon Lee. In 1965 they moved to Hong Kong where Brandon became fluent in Cantonese by the age of 8. He attended Boston's Art-Oriented Emerson College in Massachusetts. 

He studied Martial Arts and drama. But Brandon wanted to be a more of a traditional actor. In 1983 he was expelled from school because of misbehaviour, but received his diploma at Miraleste High school. He appeared in "Rapid Fire", "Showdown Little Tokyo", and a few more films, including "The Crow". He turned down the offer to play his own father in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee story, 1993". 

His father Bruce Lee died suddenly at the age of 32, back in 1973, of what is to be believed a brain hemmorage. Brandon died at the age of 28 on the set of "The Crow" in 1993. While filming a shooting scene, the cap of a blank accidently got lodged in his spine after penetrating his abdomen. The doctors worked desperately for five hours, but it was no use. He was pronounced dead at 1:04 pm the next day, 31 of March 1993. He was supposed to marry Eliza Hutton on April 17, only two weeks away. His body was flown to Seattle to be buried next to his father at Lake View Cemetery.

The Crow was later finished, and became a big success. Brandon died on the werge of stardom, just as his father Bruce did 20 years earlier, 3 weeks before the premiere of Enter the Dragon. 

Even in death, Brandon could not escape the shadow of his father.
