Cassandra also died of ovarian cancer in 1991 after 11 years of marriage with Pierce.
They also had a son, Sean, 36, who now has a young daughter, Marley May - whose middle name is Cassandra in tribute to her late grandmother - with his film producer wife Sanja Banic.
In 1992, Pierce said of his first wife: 'She has made me the man I am, the actor I am, the father I am. 
'She's forever embedded in every fibre of my being.

She's there with me every day. I was so blessed to have met someone like that.'
Speaking of Charlotte and Cassandra's deaths in 2014 at the Stand Up To Cancer telethon, he revealed: 'To watch someone you love have his or her life eaten away bit by bit by this insidious disease, that kind of sorrow becomes an indelible part of your psyche.

'I held the generous, strong, beautiful hand of my first wife Cassie as ovarian cancer took her life much too soon.' 
'And just last year (2013), I held the hand of my funny, wonderful daughter Charlotte before she too died from this wretched, inherited disease.' 
Pierce went on to meet Keely in 1994; the couple tied the knot at Ballintubber Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland, in 2001 and share two sons, Dylan, 23, and Paris, 19. 
The actor has often been vocal about how Keely saved him from depression following his personal tragedies, describing her as a 'strength I wouldn't be able to live without'. 
Speaking in an interview with The Independent in 2015, Pierce said: 'I love her vitality, her passion. 
'She has this strength that I wouldn't be able to live without.

When Keely looks at me, I go weak.'
