And we're addicted to all three! No Moses didn't die, but some people will weep as if he did. Charlton Heston was a very fine actor who backed some worthy causes (Civil Rights) and some unworthy causes (the NRA). Some people began to think that, later in life, Heston came to see himself as more of a Moses of the middle-lass white man. This is what he had to say: "...the God fearing, law-abiding, Caucasian, middle- class Protestant-or even worse, evangelical Christian, Midwestern or Southern- or even worse, rural, apparently straight-or even worse, admitted heterosexuals, gun-owning-or even worse, NRA-card-carrying, average working stiff-or even worse, ...

Now we all know Charlton Heston kicked the bucket more than a week ago, so let’s have a moment of silence for him…………………..Okay, enough of that. Now, I’m not the biggest Heston fan, but some of the movies he starred in are my favorites, and I just want to list a few of him here. BEN-HUR Remember when the American Movie Channel used to air this movie 50 million times around the Xmas holidays? I didn’t have a problem with that, I’d rather see this movie than It’s a Wonderful Life over and over again. Now Ben Hur is long as hell (over 3 ... Read Full Story

Screen legend. Defender of civil rights & the Constitution. Incredible voice. A legend has died. Charlton Heston played many roles. Even in bad movies like Earthquake, you watched him BECAUSE he was Charlton Heston & somehow he overcame the badness. His videos on the history of the Bible made you feel that you went back in time & he made it feel real & alive. He defended the civil rights of blacks, the rights of gun owners ( for which he was unfairly vilified in the most scurrilous manner ) and felt that society was not doing the right thing in how we acted ...

This is what cameos are all about. Sometimes an actor performs a cameo in heavy disguise, and it's up to the viewer to "find" him or her. But the best cameos are the ones that take into account the personality of the performer/writer/athlete/politician, and then make some kind of wry comment on it. If you're wondering how an upstart like Mike Myers could have coaxed the Oscar-winning legend and Shakespearian actor Charlton Heston into a less...

When Charlton Heston held up a replica Revolutionary War musket, and said "From my cold, dead hands," at the NRA Convention in 2000, he was not the first to use those words in that context, but his use is certainly the most famous. It was a powerful speech that Heston gave, delivered with both the solemnity and the fire one would expect from one of the few actors capable of pulling off the role of Moses. Much has changed since that speech...
