Very Nice Scott Heston was my moms favorite actor also.. and he came to
Toledo and was at Lourdes college
My Mom was his age so she saw all the films.. he was a block away and
she didnt go....
Well I have a letter from Heston I bought years ago on his stationary
and I have some stills and other material.. the one 8x10 is from
Airoport and hes standing next to a mirror that says theres a bomb on
the plane in lipstick... gives me the ebbie gebes...but very striking
and powerful still shot
Also I should apologize for letting loose on Patrick... I was aiming at
the Rod for making insulting remarks about a person we havny had time
to even grieve for,,, and I shouldnt have been so sensitive
except I though Heston was a great actor,,, as for being biased or
speaking about race , religion, or
Muffins , I was out of line... and apologize to al mopoers.. I just had
my taxes done and was a little stressed and The Indians plight hit a
chord,, matter of fact all peoples rights are important to me.. and I
think thats why the Naitive Americans plight just hit me.. I dont have
any afiliation with them However I would like to.. because they taught
us many things as i understand it... I was actually in a House and took
a pee in the same t bathroom and saw the tub George Custer used as the
People in Michigan I bought a 16mm film collection lived in his old
place where his horses where kept... It was a interesting feeling to
be in the same spot as Custer.. Luckily it wasnt the last stand place! :)
Charletom Hestons career as a actor is really a great one as I see it
and ive tryed to think of similar
people in the biz now... I guess Harrison Ford is as close as we come to
commercial appeal in all Genres
Maybe Sean Connery as hes another one that versatile

Charlton Heston was the only "movie star" I ever had the chance to
actually meet. He gave a lecture at Ohio State while I was a student
there. After the talk I was lucky enough to have a brief moment with
him and asked him to autograph a lobby card I had brought with me. He
was very nice and graciously signed the card. Sadly, at the time, my
collection was, shall we say, a bit thin...and the only Heston item I
had was from (forgive me) "The Private War of Major Benson."
I'll never forget his comment as he signed it: "Oh, one of my long
lost movies. Have you actually seen it?" I had. I really think he
enjoyed seeing the "Benson" card and not another one from "Planet of
the Apes" or "The Omega Man," his popular movies at the time (mid
'70's). But I sure would like that autograph on one of *those* titles now.
While I didn't share his politics, I always liked watching him on the
screen. >From "The Greatest Show on Earth" to "The Omega Man" to "Soylent
Green" to "Earthquake" you could always count on him for an
over-the-top performance even in a less-than-perfect movie. What fun
to watch him chew up the scenery in "The Ten Commandments" (Anne
Baxter did give him a run for best-chewer in that one, though) or
share the screen with Orson Welles in "Touch of Evil."
We have lost a real "movie star."
