One of my fav actors of all time, despite his agressive conservadurism
One of the greatest legends of the old hollywood, Rest in Peace

Moses is dead. As much as I disliked his presence in the NRA, he was a good actor, and Alzheimers can take a very serious toll on a person. RIP.

rest in peace

Are you kidding? They're going to bury his cold, dead ass with that sh!t(along with a few shells).

He was a bit of a nut, but a great actor. "Planet of the Apes" was the first time I saw him on the big screen.

I didn´t like some of his political views but he was a great actor and always came across as someone you really would like to have a debate with and also , in some ways, as a genuinely nice man. Too bad that his conservative views kind of distorted his image or better yet the image or opinion people had of him.
Yes, he was conservative and against gun control but let´s not forget that he was a deep believer in personal freedom for ALL people and that he supported Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement.

And he was great in The Omega Man and in Soylent Green. Many remember him as Moses or Ben Hur but I loved his sci-fi movies.

Ass, you kinda beat me to it

I was going to say "so does he get a firing salute at his funeral?"

Easily one of the most boring actors ever that was way overrated yet kept getting steady work. Amazing. Dude had just one range - Brooding.

A great actor. He was superb in Touch of Evil. RIP.

Was he in Dynasty ? I totally forgot that.

Dynasty and the spin-off series, The Colbys.

I loved me some Charlton Heston. As Juda Ben-Hur he was awesome. That chariot race was, IMO, one of the greatest scenes ever put on film and he actually did his own stunts in that scene, if I recall correctly. He was blessed with a long life hopefully it was a good one.

I really disagreed with some (no, make that MOST) of his views, but I really thought Michael Moore acted like an ass when he interviewed him in "Bowling for Columbine."

He strayed from Hollywood and became a conservative hero, something a true Christian, life-loving man should be.

Too bad most of these lazy ass, self-obsessed, and uninformed celebs and sports stars are too chicken shit to stand up for something.

RIP Mr. Heston
