Charleton Heston ... Larger than life.



Hollywood legend and Oscar winner actor Charles Heston died in his home this week in Beverly Hills at the age of 84. His family released a statement saying:


"To his loving friends, colleagues and fans, we appreciate your heartfelt prayers and support…. Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than life… No one could ask for a fuller life than his. No man could have given more to his family, to his profession, and to his country… In his own words, ‘I have lived such a wonderful life. I’ve lived enough for two people.”



I loved Heston's work; both his movies and his activism. He was one of the great ones. A "man's man," a patriot, activist and loyal husband. All qualities that are commendable and rare. He definitely made his mark and a difference.
