I managed a limousine company in Chicago back in the day and Charlton and his family were clients of ours and used to drive him between his home in Evanston and O'Hare airport and I can say wholeheartedly this was one of the purest, good human beings I ever met. An absolutely gracious person.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 actually from what I remember, I saw him in a limousine once. The times I drove him was in a passenger van because he had family with and luggage
I love how he acknowledges and looks at Ed all the time. It always disturbed me how some guests never even look at Ed. It says a lot about Mr Heston. Classy and humble, a true gentleman.
I could listen to charlton Heston all day, very down to earth and humble, he was a brilliant actor, he didn’t deserve the flack some people threw at him in later years
@@DarthSasquatch Sigh No one is trying to take away guns. All civilized countries have gun regulations and people still own guns. Heston was one of those who made up a problem and then got mad about it. He was someone who became a Conservative and then decided to immerse himself in that role. He even allowed himself to be photographed with a white supremist. The Liberal Heston would not have stopped so low. But this is the same Charlton Heston who once said that the government should have the right to be draconian when it feels like it. Most Americans support gun regulation anyway even gun owners.
@@hyacinthlynch843 Nope! Millions Voted MARLON BRANDO AS THE BEST EVER ON POLES, SO YOU'RE WRONG. Way WRONG. EVEN LIZ TAYLOR SAID BRANDO WAS THE BEST EVER!
I met Mr. Heston when he was in his 80’s I was a young police officer when he came to Gwinnett county airport to a NRA meeting supporting a candidate for public office. He stepped out of his vehicle and he was tiny and I must have had a shocked look on my face because he laughed and put his hand on my shoulder and said something like “I know son I used to be a lot taller” and we both laughed and he shook my hand thanked me for my service. He had two former USSS agents both very tall and capable looking. They escorted him inside and stayed with him or very close by. What a kind and gracious man he was.
Chico....great story, but hardly in his 80's? At that age he was sick with alzheimers and died at 84. I met Mr. Heston at a Ralph's store in Studio City i 1999, and he was pretty tall at 76, I am 6'1 and he was at least 6'2 then (6'3 peak)....but I could see that he had some health issues already then..
I agree with everything except the fashion. Of course these were adults who came of age much earlier. The young people of the 1960-70s were the ones who degraded our culture to what it is now with pushing no fault divorce, causal sex, pushing to legalize recreational drugs, making holding the mentally ill against their will illegal so they end up on the streets etc.
Charlton Heston has had some of the best if not THE best movie lines in movie history! *This is a mad house, a mad houuuse!* and *Soylent Green is people* . Love him! :)
@@captainamericaamerica8090 that's your opinion, I do love Brando but I don't know why you're making this comment here. Could Brando play better the part of Moses or Judah Ben Hur or historical roles ? I don't think so, we can't compare Heston and Brando.
I suppose some will say i'm out of line here . . . but clearly we have several different definitions of "EGO." What peter feltham means is no big arrogance.

He had a VERY big Ego regarding his Profession and Believings. As a private man he was very humble. He comes from a different, better Time, when someone was not judged by his meanings, rather as a whole Human Being.
Oh how I miss these giants! I loved to watch Mr. Heston in his films and Carson always cracked me up! Although his show was waaaaayyyy past my bedtime.
@@drdre4397 Maybe Day Lewis. The others are either mediocre or classless (Streep). Tawdry people like George Clooney have become billionaires. No comparison to Heston and his ilk. Might as well compare the mediocre Fallon to Johnny Carson
Moses, Michelangelo, George Gordon, Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar (El Cid), Marc Anthony and Andrew Jackson. You name it, he could play it. A great actor and a humble man.
I loved how Carson treated his guests intelligently unlike these jackasses of today which have to talk all over their guests and laugh and laugh and laugh at everything they say.
I thought Carson was kind of a whimp when I saw him on tv as a kid in the 80s but these days he seems very masculine compared to the Nancy boys they have on tv today.
He was great in every movie he made cause he was an awesome actor ! Planet of the Apes , Ben Hur , Tower Inferno, Soylent Green até just a few that I can remember now but there are so many more!!! Just love him !!!💕💕💕💕💕
Steven Spielberg had Heston suggested to him for the role of Quint in Jaws. He said Charlton Heston would have scared the shark out of the water. Heston was great. A one-of-a-kind actor who could play it large without falling into overacting. It takes skill to walk that line.
So gracious towards Karen Black. (His character in A75 was, even then, so sexist, really, but in real life Heston was obviously not that way. Too many people blurred his screen persona with his actual one, regardless of his stance on guns.) Like others here have said, he was a MAN. We miss that sort of cinematic persona now. At least I do.
I love this interview with Charlton Heston with Johnny Carson! And Ed McMahon of course! Yes, he seem like a real gentleman and with a great personality! I never order don’t remember him really in an interview… Well, maybe once or twice, but it’s been a long time!
Happy birthday buddy. I hope you have a wonderful blessed birthday. Thank you so much for your performance in The Ten Commandments. And thank you for the many more contributions that I don't even know about yet. I hope you have a cool laid-back birthday in heaven. I'll look forward to meeting you one day. Thanks for the advice. God bless you.
It's too bad Charlton Heston's german shepherds weren't around the day Micheal Moore visited him for a so called interview for Moore's movie Bowling for Columbine. I thought Moore took advantage of Heston's weak condition and was very disrespectful. If only man's best friend had been there that day, that part of the movie would have played out much differently.
Moore thought he could easily goad Heston into an angry tirade as well as somehow assign blame for a child's death to Dick Clark. Instead the whole thing unraveled and fizzled out to a nothing of an ending.
Yes! The Moore, "interview " was a disgusting thing. But Charlton Heston was the grand man he always was. Annnndd Moore was the same pig he always was.

I didn't normally watch Jay Leno but one night I had it on and he had a segment of Celebrity Twister at Graumann's Chinese Theater. A young couple had to play Twister using the cement blocks in the courtyard of Graumann's. It went like; Put your right hand on Steve McQueen. Left foot on Paul Newman. Right foot on Charlton Heston. As soon as they stepped on the Charlton Heston cement block, the real CH came running out at of the theater yelling at them to get off his footprints. It was hilarious. After all the laughter subsided, he was real nice to the couple, who were so young I'm not sure they knew who he was or if he was serious.
No actor can beat Charlton when it comes to acting. He is a very fine human being. As a very young girl, He was my very first crush as a young girl and ,funny, he is still my ideal man up till now! Nov. 2023.
In the late 1960s-early 1970s Heston became a sci fi star. Oddly five of his sci fi films had an apocalyptic theme. (Planet Of The Apes, Beneath The Planet Of The Apes, Tim Burton Planet Of The Apes, The Omega Man, Soylent Green-end of civilization type sci fi films).
We used to carry sticks when we went bike riding as tikes... I remember “Diamond and I forget the other dogs name but they we’re down right scary dogs” and vicious...lol 🤣🤣🤣 We still loved them, I think our bikes freaked them out... #TrainsPlanesAndAutomobiles ...did you say Evil Ken-evil? #LOL
