Charlton Heston dead at 84

By BOB THOMAS, Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES - 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.

Speaking of the NRA, maybe they'll pay tribute by giving him a 21,000,000 gun salute.

I'm going to hell with the author of this comic.

He uttered one of the best ever unintentional pornographic lines in movie history too. As Moses the young prince, he said this to the pharoh.

"THERE, is the obelisk of your jubilee."

John Holmes could have made that line his own.... :wink:

Just wondering...was the younger person in the strip supposed to represent Wayne LaPierre?

He's just a character from the comic. His name is Mike and he's an @$$hole. (Hence why he's doing what he's doing).

Required.

Heston was a GREAT actor who blew his credibility every time he talked politics.

Hopefully now, his movie work will again overshadow his NRA BS!
