A Legend Passes

"I have played three presidents, three saints, and two geniuses. If that doesn't create and ego problem, nothing does." Charlton Heston

Learned this morning that Charlton Heston passed away after a prolonged struggle with Alzheimer's. As a young child watching movies in the late 60's and 70's I really enjoyed Charlton Heston portaying larger than life characters in roles like Moses in The Ten Commandments, Judah Ben Hur in Ben Hur, John the Baptist in The Greatest Story Ever Told, El Cid in El Cid and Marc Antony in Julius Caesar.
