As we chatted on the side before, seriously, no worries, Tom.
As I said, your doing your Taxes would excuse far more than any
percieved slights which I honestly didn't take personally.
Still, again, I appreciate your taking the time to mention it,
May everyone rest at peace before Monday's upon us,
Patrick

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."
