    Truly one of Hollywood's greatest. I am an admirer of Charlton Heston, just as he was large in stature, so was his cinematic legacy. Varied in his roles, rarely was Mr. Heston cast as a villain, always the hero it in film and his personal life. Mr. Heston is definitely in a class of his own. Personal cinematic highlights I've enjoyed several times are "Planet of the Apes", "Soylent Green", "El Cid", "The Ten Commandments", "Ben-Hur", "The Naked Jungle" and the disaster masterpiece "Earthquake". Mr. Heston will surely be missed.
  • I truly agree with you, I am also one of his big fans! he was truly amazing!
