Charlton Heston, 84, Dies

Just the other night, I was flipping through late night television and came across a rerun of the 1968 version of Planet of the Apes, starring Charlton Heston as Taylor, the astronaut, stranded on an earth he does not recognize. This evening, I learn that Charlton Heston, who brought so many characters to life, has died.

Wonder if anybody's tried to pry the gun from his cold, dead hands yet?

Sorry Lori.

(I rooted for him in Ben Hur.)

Why apologize? I think it's a funny speculation.

Politics aside, he made some very good movies and his contribution to film will be missed.
