Charlton Heston died in early 2008.
Charlton Heston was an iconic Academy Award-winning film actor, best known for playing larger-than-life heroic roles such as Moses in The Ten Commandments and Judah Ben-Hur in Ben-Hur.
He has been long involved in political issues and was president of the National Rifle Association in the years 1998 to 2003.

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.

By Christine Alexiou On April 5 - the very night that Charlton Heston passed away, I was watching The Planet of the Apes (1968) on AMC.

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...
