Charlton Heston, 1924 - 2008.
FilmChat —
... The IMDb lists over 120 credits in Heston's filmography -- and that's not counting the times he played himself. Even if we bracket off all the bad films, there are still quite a few good ones that I need to see. Come to think of it, it was only since starting my blog three years ago that I got around to seeing classic Heston films like The Big Country (1958), The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965) and The Four Musketeers (1974), for example. ...

Charlton Heston dead at 84
Pop Critics —
I’m sure by now everyone has heard about Charlton Heston dying this past weekend at the age of 84. He had been battling Alzheimer’s, which is a horrible disease as we all probably know. My grandfather died not too long ago of the same illness, and it’s just an awful way to end your life.
Thinking about a guy like Heston degrading with this disease is just unfathomable. The tough-guy he was, the persona he put out there, it’s hard to believe that he may have reached a state where he couldn’t kick someone’s butt.
