Charlton Heston This is Nigerian Times Tribute to Charlton Heston , one of the greatest actors of all time. Whose unforgettable portrayal of Moses in The Ten Commandments , Colonel George Taylor in Planet of the Apes and Judah Ben-Hur in Ben-Hur made them classics in America and the rest of the world. Charlton Heston played an active role in the Civil Rights Movement. He was one of the first Hollywood stars to speak out against racism in America. He was also against abortion and other violations of human dignity. "To me, he was the consummate leading man. He was tall, he was handsome, he was sensitive, he was gruff when he had to be. He was a great cowboy, he was perfect for those historical roles. He could do everything, and there aren't many actors around today who could." ~ Shirley Jones Charlton Heston left golden footprints on the sands of time. May his soul rest in peace. 6 Apr 2008 04:24 Africa/Lagos Statement by the Family of Charlton Heston BEVERLY HILLS...
