[QUOTE="patz1, post: 2031417, member: 477303"] For a start I think there are many. many more men more interesting than Charlton Heston (sorry, Heston family & friends), like Michelangelo or Mozart, or, in the entertainment industry, where Heston made his "mark", Robin Williams, Bill Hicks or Eddie Izzard, actors Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Brad Pitt.... Charlton Heston was a movie actor who played the role of Moses in "The Ten Commandments" (and, I think, because of that part became some people's idea of what "God" must "look like", with long gray hair and a flowing beard!). Heston was also the title charioteer in "Ben Hur" and was in the first "Planet of the Apes" film, both considered cinema "classics". He later became president of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and was (badly, in my opinion) interviewed in "Bowling for Columbine", Michael Moore's insightful documentary about the mass student murders at the Colorado high school. By that time Heston was in the early stages of Alzheimer's from which he died in 2003. [/QUOTE]
