Anyone who has had a career as long as Heston means he was gifted and had great talent.

Wow, this is a classy crowd. Not one joke about how you can have his gun when you pry it out of his cold dead hands or ANYthing. Kudos!

Charleston Heston was the last of his kind. I grew up with his movies and like John Wayne, there will never be another one like him. He had the true star quality that actors do not have today. He will be sadly missed.

eoin,

Everyone has a point of view. I understand that part of it.

But, “El Cid” recently came out remastered by Miramax’s new subsidy called Miriam Remasters (or something like that) I got a review copy and wrote about it briefly here. Anthony Mann directed the piece — very well done, a true epic with Sophia Loren.

Wes, well said. He definitely could command a performance. I even thought he was quite good in “Coby’s” television series. Very professional.

Being a child of the 60/70’s, Chuck was also a true “action hero” of our generation. My brothers and I would long for any opportunity to watch him, and we’d pretend to duplicate his bad-ass persona. He was truly a man to command the screen. We are honored to experience his legendary career. Thanks Chuck, you will be missed, and you will always be remembered.

I’ve never seen El Cid. Hopefully there’ll be a retrospective screening so I can catch it. I may not have agreed with his beliefs, but there is no doubt he could make an impact on the screen.

“El Cid” is a wonderful film, that shows Heston’s ability to command 100’s of extras in a panarama scene, which is nothing to discount.

Yes, he did voice his views, which takes a great man to do.

May you rest in piece Heston.
