A life of great art ::: Charlton Heston Passes at 84

I can remember when I fist sat down with my family to watch Ben-Hur, I was such a wee lad and I had no clue as to what I was looking at. However I can remember that the leading man in the film was the epitome of man hood. So much so that I fashioned my elementary persona after the character. It was a great job and one done well.

Although BEN HUR is not Charlton Heston's only work, it is the role that would become synonymous with his name. With features chiseled out of stone and more edge than your fathers razor portraying the likes of a man seeking redemption from those who has taken what is close to him. It is the age old story, of if you stay away too long don't expect to return to what you left.

Here is a brief Synopsis I found on IMDB of the film Ben - Hur(1959).

Now lets sit back and remember the man for a moment.

In memory of such a fine actor who set the standard we must go out and rent movies, buy them and support his estate by any means. Born on October 4, 1924 to April 5, 2008 at the ripe age of 84, Charlton Heston will always be remembered.
