What happened to Bruce Lee's wife and kids?

Question

Bruce Lee had a wife and some kids, what became of them?

Answer 1

After Bruce's death, Linda remarried twice.  She has always sought to promote Bruce's memory and ideals. She has been one of the staunchest supporters of JKD being the driving force behind the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Nucleus - a body made from Bruce's original students, senior second generation students and other selected individuals.  This organisation dissolved shortly after its inception sadly due to a variety of reasons.  It was followed effectively (although the two organisations co-existed for a time) by the Bruce and Brandon Lee Foundation designed to encourage excellence in young people. In recent years Linda has stepped down from the spotlight leaving her daughter Shannon to take the lead.

Bruce and Linda's son, Brandon died due to a tragic accident where the wrong type of theatrical type of gun shot effect was used.  He had just started to make a strong impact on the film industry. The accident occurred during filming of the Crow, a film which gained international acclaim and which would have catapulted Brandon into the top league of actors. Brandon studied his fathers art, JKD, with Dan Inosanto.

Shannon pursued a theatrical career via a university course before making a move into the industry itself. She has appeared in a few films and has also presented a few shows relating to martial arts.  She has studied JKD primarily with Ted Wong.  She is currently the lead of the Bruce and Brandon Lee Foundation. She is married with one child.

Currently there is a deal of controversy over the way the organisation has put strict limits on how her fathers image, name, art are used. This has resulted in many books, dvd's and articles being withdrawn. JKD almost disappeared from US mainstream magazines such as Inside Kung Fu due to the demands that were placed on usage of the name and images that are copyrighted by her organisation.

Hope that helps
