Charlton Heston - An American Legend

Whether you agree or disagree with his strong political opinions - the fact remains that we have lost a larger-than-life individual: a dedicated husband (married to his wife Lydia for 64 years), an Oscar winning actor and American legend.

Charlton Heston, born John Charles Carter on October 4th, 1924 in Evanston, Illinois, has died April 5th, 2008, Beverly Hills, California. May he rest in peace.

Here are some classic moments:

The Omega Man

Soylent Green

Ben Hur

The Ten Commandments

Khartoum

Planet of the Apes

And finally -

From my cold dead hands
