An Icon Passes…


One of my favorite actors, Charlton Heston, has gone home. On the big screen he brought life to such heroic and larger-than-life figures as Moses, El Cid and Ben Hur. He battled apes (Planet of the Apes) and vampirish ghouls (The Omega Man). Off screen he had the integrity and courage to publicly support his beliefs. He was one of the rare and unique Hollywood stars to have a long and enduring marriage and kept his family life private. A man of talent and grace, his legacy is not just his films but his personal integrity. Godspeed Mr. Heston.
