Charlton Heston - RIP at 84


One of the truly larger than life personalities/actors of his time. I hate to see him go, but it's a blessing considering the greatly diminished quality of life he suffered with Alzheimers. His 64 year marriage is one of the longest in Hollywood history.

RIP Mr. Heston

Re: Charlton Heston has died


Waiting on confirmation, but I'm not surprise by this news. Another great actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood has left us. Their numbers are getting smaller and smaller. May he R.I.P.

Edit: More confirmation.

Re: Charlton Heston has died


I agree with Steve that it's sad in a way, but I understand he was suffering greatly over the last decade or so, so it's a release.

Re: Charlton Heston has died


He will be missed.





There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: Charlton Heston has died


He defined what an epic movie actor was supposed to be like.

Rest in peace Mr. Heston.
