Popeye Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I just read the news article on Charlton Heston passing away and I am deeply saddened to hear about it. He was one of my all time favorite actors and a man of integrity and honor, IMO! I just watched "The Ten Commandments" the other day which is so strange. His presence on screen was phenomenal. Along with the roles like he had in "Will Penny", "Ben Hur", "Planet of the Apes", "The Omega Man", and "Soylent Green", his portrayal of Moses will never be topped. I vividly remember when "Ben Hur" premiered and then played at the Tivoli theater in my home town for nearly 3 months straight! The Motion Picture industry and we movie fans have truely lost a Silver Screen ICON! Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 6, 2008 Super User Posted April 6, 2008 Thanks for letting us know, Burley. Appreicate the post. Man, what a loss. Not only was Charleston Heston an excellent actor, but he was one of the last beacons of normalcy in Hollywood. He will be greatly missed. He is a super American and a great partiot. Quote
bigdog Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 R.I.P. on a lighter note I guess the democrates will get the gun now. Quote
Guest muddy Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 A Great American Actor, RIP is correct. Most of you know the work he did with the NRA, I admire the work he did in the 60's, he was a loud voice for the civil rights movement. Quote
Super User Micro Posted April 6, 2008 Super User Posted April 6, 2008 I hadn't heard. Very sad, but what a great legacy. He'll be sadly missed. Quote
fishbear Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I actually met him at an NRA banquet. He was a genuine and friendly as any one of us. May you rest in peace Mr. Heston. May your legacy live on. Thank you for your work in the movies, the civil rights and the NRA. God Bless you and your family. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted April 7, 2008 Super User Posted April 7, 2008 Sixty Minutes did a segment on him this evening. He was interviewed soon after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He will be missed. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted April 7, 2008 Super User Posted April 7, 2008 What a legacy. RIP. Quote
ba7ss3in Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I did not know this. I have seen Moses so many times I can't count. My daughter and I watch it every Easter. RIP and thanks for the work you did with NRA. " This is Flat Iron range, no squatters here." Quote
