- Charlton Heston (born John Charles Carter; October 4, 1923 - April 5, 2008) was an American actor and political activist.[3] As a Hollywood star, he appeared in almost 100 films over the course of 60 years. He played Moses in the epic film The Ten Commandments (1956), for which he received his first nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Drama[4] and the title role in Ben-Hur (1959), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.[5] He also starred in The Greatest Show on Earth (1952), Secret of the Incas (1954), Touch of Evil (1958) with Orson Welles, The Big Country (1958), El Cid (1961), The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), Khartoum (1966), Planet of the Apes (1968), The Omega Man (1971) and Soylent Green (1973).[6]
In the 1950s and 1960s, he was one of a handful of Hollywood actors to speak openly against racism and was an active supporter of the civil rights movement. Heston left the Democratic Party in 1987 to become a Republican, founding a conservative political action committee and supporting Ronald Reagan. Heston was a five-term president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), from 1998 to 2003. After announcing he had Alzheimer's disease in 2002, he retired from both acting and the NRA presidency.[7]
thank you so much!!!!!
When I was 14 or 15, (around 1951) I was a ranked tennis player in Los Angeles. My uncle Pancho would take me to the Los Angeles Tennis Club in Beverly Hills and I met many Hollywood stars. One was Charlton Heston. Actors like him wanted to hit balls with better tennis players than themselves so us young kids got to meet them and play against them. He was a kind man and I enjoyed playing with him.
Much later in life, 1991 or 92, I met him in Tucson Arizona where as the NRA spokesman he gave a speech. I told him of the day we hit the ball together and he didn't remember who I was, but he did remember hitting with younger tennis players.
This video makes me proud of him.
……was your uncle Pancho Gonzales? I’d a tennis racquet with his name on it. Brand was ‘Starmaker’. I was an Interschool Tennis champ!
Great actor, he is missed!
Handsome, charismatic and down to earth. A magnificent actor. He is missed.
……& a lovely man, along with his beautiful wife, Lydia, they were fabulous to be in conversation with them, which I’d had the greatest honour, & privilege to do so, many times’…………so thrilling!
Sebastián Rulli se parece al Gran Actor Charlton Heston.
I like his movies. He seemed a decent guy.
……he certainly was………
Yeah I disagree strongly with many of his political views from the 1980s and onwards but he really does seem like an intelligent and decent guy. I love hearing him talk about film and acting.
❤❤❤
Enjoyed many films of Heston's, his political beliefs not so much.
I cringed when he used the “N” word so liberally in the conversation with a Black interviewer. He intentionally wanted to offend her. I love him on screen and that’s where my admiration will remain only.
There are things here that Even I may Not totally agree with Him on. But the idea or notion that He used the N word purposely to offend this gorgeous woman is totally idiotic. I personally would Not have used it, but But He was a straight shooter and made No excuses. Heston was also a God fearing man who marched for civil rights. We're All flawd to the highest standards as people...but that Bull Shit you'll never convince me of!
