Charlton Heston was probably the most formidable presence in the history of cinema. His lead in the classic 60s remakes of
Ben Hur and
The Ten Commandments always defined movie heroism for me- calm, resolute and authoritative. Then of course there were those 70s sci-fi classics like
Soylent Green and
Planet of the Apes that have never been bested. Remember his cameo in
Waynes World 2? Epic stuff.
Yeh end of an era. There's a lot of it about.
