"From my cold dead hands"

"From my cold dead hands"

There was hardly ever a better American spokesman to deliver this message. His whole life and acting career was a testimony to this sentiment.

Too bad that he did not get thru to half of the population!

Hmmm. Now you've gone and done it. Turned a testimonial thread into a political thread.

Just not sure how you tiptoe around a man's core being BB. It'd kinda be like "Honoring the troops", but despising their mission.

Heston along with Wayne were both actors that were larger than life.

Another bit of Americana lost to time.

I'm sure you've seen one or two of his movies.
My favorites would be Midway, Ben Hur, Soylent Green, The Ten Commandments, Planet of the Apes, Grey Lady Down & The Omega Man.

His entire filmography is here http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000032/

Actually, I think I've seen most of those, with the exception of Grey Lady Down. I guess I just didn't realize that was Charlton Heston acting in them.

I liked "Will Penny" (a Western he did) too.

I really liked this guy. I was sad to hear of his passing. He was a very good actor and from what I hear a good guy as well.
