Legendary actor Charlton Heston Dead at 84

Charlton Heston Dead at 84

By BOB THOMAS – 1 hour ago


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlton Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing "Ben-Hur" and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the '50s and '60s, has died. He was 84.


The actor died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia at his side, family spokesman Bill Powers said.


Powers declined to comment on the cause of death or provide further details.


Heston revealed in 2002 that he had symptoms consistent with Alzheimer's disease, saying, "I must reconcile courage and surrender in equal measure."


With his large, muscular build, well-boned face and sonorous voice, Heston proved the ideal star during the period when Hollywood was filling movie screens with panoramas depicting the religious and historical past. "I have a face that belongs in another century," he often remarked.

He was on the top of my "Really Old Guys Who Where Hot When They Were Young" list.

I can watch his movies over and over again.

He was hot. R.I.P.

Awww @ the photo of Poitier, Belafonte, and Heston. He looked like the elder in that group.

I have to agree with you, although I thought he was pretty good looking even as an old fogie!
