Heston was what you might call my last "favorite actor".
I liked Heston because for one thing, he made the kind of movies I liked such as historical dramas - Ben Hur, Khartoum, El Cid-- and sience fiction adventures -Planet of the Apes, Soylent Green, Omega Man. (I forgave him for all those hokey disaster movies he made in the 1970s.)
And it didn't hurt that Heston was also that rarest of Hollywood breeds: a conservative.
So his passing is like the end of an era.

Yes, and he was also quite the hunk. I remember him and Sophia Loren in El Cid!
I thought Earthquake was quite good with Genevieve Bujould. Who could forget the our cinema seats trembling with that Sensuround or whatever it was called.
i will miss Judah Ben Hur and Moses too.
May he Rest in Peace.
IT'S MADE FROM PEOPLE!!!!
I guess we'll be taking that gun now. Too soon?
McClelland you wouldn't be able to take the gun from his hands now that he is dead, he is still stronger then you are. (real conservative)
Anonymous #1 -- I totally agree. What a hunk!
The writings on the wall conservatism is dying, cause people are evolving.
