Paulsen believes that Brosnan, who lost his daughter and first wife to the disease, has done a lot for cancer research worldwide.
"After Cassie passed away, Pierce became a fierce champion and ambassador to all things related to women's cancer research."
"I told Pierce, 'Despite the fact that Charlotte didn't end up benefiting from long-term new ovarian cancer therapies, so many things that you have done have led to so many discoveries.' He's a remarkable and loving father, and Charlotte was such a trooper."
In 2001, Brosnan married Keely Shaye Smith and the couple has two children - Dylan, 16, and Paris, 12.
