A lover of guns, a lover of women and a hater of truth hiding apes, Charlton Heston, died on Saturday at the age of 84. This brings a tear to my eye as I am a huge Heston fan and also a hater of the Ape conspiracy. He also played a plethora of other characters like Moses, Ben-Hur and Robert Neville from The Omega Man. Who could forget his acting in Soylent Green, when he realized that it was made of people? Acting was his forte, but let’s not forget his involvement in one of the nation’s favorite organizations, the NRA. He was into civil rights before it was cool. To really know Heston, go find his autobiography entitled; “Into the Arena”.
You will be missed, Chuck.
Later nerd.
