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
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.

R.I.P. Mr. Heston. Even though it was my birthday, I still felt something was a bit "off". Damn.

Re: Charlton Heston has died
I really missed Charlton Heston on the big screen in the last decade. He was a completely admirable person and a seriously good actor, genuine and dedicated. He was also a fine writer; his books are about life, not movie trivia. In his first feature film he gave a fully realized and polished performance. You can see his star quality in the first frame of that film. I think I'll watch it now.

changes because of the people we admire."

Re: Charlton Heston has died
It's been quite a decline for him in the past few years, still, a sad day, but he leaves us a virtually flawless body of work.
I'm going to apologize for this up front, but I want to head off any response to a famous gun quote. I just don't think it would be appropriate.
Thank you Chuck. Godspeed.

Re: Charlton Heston has died
Sad news. Heston was a true star, and a compelling actor. He will be long remembered.
