(or where heston was, for that matter). wonder what time he died tonight.... 84, that's a good long life by any standard. An article in our newspaper said that he died on "Saturday night (local time)", so I presume that that means he died some time late Friday or early Saturday in America. He was "one of a kind" and will be sadly missed here too. Just an aside, it thought it was interesting that while he starred in the 1956 film "The 10 Commandments" as adult Moses, his three month old son, Fraser, played the baby Moses floating down the Nile in a basket. Charlton Heston also played the voice of God in that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote I truly loved his movies, The Ten Commandments, and Ben Hur, He had a long list of movies he acted in. My thought is probably like alot of you was he a born-again believer?? I sure hope so. He has left quite a legacy behind for religious films. I pray that he is in heaven and that one day we will see him again. YSIC LIttlelite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found him to be a fascinating man and a wonderful actor. Among my favorite Heston movies-- Wreck of the Mary Deare Touch of Evil The Naked Jungle The Greatest Show on Earth Ben Hur (naturally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
