In 1977 I had the great fortune to see Charlton Heston, Debra Kerr and Andrew Prine perform the play, “A Long Day’s Journey Into Night” at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles! What an impressive figure he was live, on stage! He had massive shoulders and a booming voice! I was mesmerized! What a presence he was. I’ve always loved him as Moses in “The Ten Commandments” that I saw as a child on the panoramic screen. But to see him on stage, WOW! I also got to see Yul Brenner perform one of his last performances of “The King And I” at the Pantages Theater! Boy did he know how to “milk” an audience! You could tell, he was having so much fun drawing out his lines for a live audience! What a treat! I had such a good time!

After hearing this, I have more respect for the late Charlton Heston as a whole. How many famous actors have remained faithful to their wives for 63 years? Not many, that's for sure! Plus, I admire him for being a great father to his children. Along with having a great screen presence and acting talent, I praise him for marching with Martin Luther King Jr., Henry Belafonte, and Sidney Poitier for civil rights. Of course, nobody is perfect, but I do give Charlton credit for standing up for what be believes in, although I'll have to admit; I have mixed feelings about the right to gun ownership.

Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Charlton. Made us miss him more. What other types of video would you like to see?

[@muchrightwoman]

Charlton Heston was one of my favorite actors. I did not know all of what was shared about him. Your narrative of him makes me even more respectful of him. I would not have expected any less of Mr. Heston regarding his devotion to his wife and his children. Others in Hollywood could and should follow his example of life and love for his family. Last and certainly not least, I did not know that he marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. BRAVO for him and thanks!

I had always thought of Sofia Loren as a diva. This confirms that impression.

[@mx-5miata658]

She has a strangely shaped mouth. Very narrow mouth, in the vertical sense. The top lip and the bottom lip are very closely spaced. But the mouth itself is very wide, from side to side, I mean. The mouth is not very appealing. I've seen her loads of times on KZbin, caused I watched Cassandra Crossing dozens of times during the pandemic 3 yrs ago, cause the movie had a pandemic element to it. Her "beauty" is highly overrated.

Yours is a fascinating video. I was amazed to learn some of those facts about Charlton Heston. Thank you. And also, thank you for doing a video who’s purpose was not simply to tear something down. Carry on with the excellent work.

Great topic with good paced narration for foreigner's listening capability, thank you. 🙏 The late CH was my favorite film actor before I even knew he was a native of Illinois. I was lucky to see him in person during book signing event at USDA Bldg. in WDC years ago (that was my American dream).

He was and still is my favorite actor. I was lucky enough to get to meet him. When I did I turned into a blithering idiot. I couldn't say anything right. Mercy. But he was so nice anyway.

[@mx-5miata658]

Most women are born blithering idiots.

[@gpan62]

I heard him say in an interview that his favourite of all his movies was a simple western called Will Penny. I had seen that movie and had to agree. It was not the usual epic that he's associated with and his acting was fantastic.

[@bobgoodall1603]

I agree, he gave great dignity and a simple morality to his character. Playing an aging illiterate cowboy in a gritty realistic look at life as a solitary range worker. He put as much if not more into portraying this ordinary man as any hero he played.

Legend

[@melvinherman]

I hadn't thought Heston was such a civil rights man but as a youth wasn't aware of much that wasn't on TV. I knew about his position in NRA "Don't take my guns!" He presented as an Alpha A male to me conservative as Reagan opposite of Lancaster. I have a renewed opinion.

[@frankerickson8346]

He was one of the First Hollywood actors who put every thing he had to push for the Civil Rights Movement, but yet in later years the left made sure they put that aside.

He was originally a Democrat.

[@tonyvalenti6614]

You left out one critical piece of information that helped determine the man Charlton became. He was a devout Christian.

[@dogzdad123]

This was an iconic actor (though not a great one) in iconic movie roles of a bygone film era. Although his film parts rapidly declined in the late 70s-80s, his activism (viewed positive or negatively) as with the man, were purely genuine…in my opinion. No matter where you sit on the fence with his views, he can be admired.

I thought he was a great Actor.

[@gerthenriksen8818]

Heston was indeed a great actor, both in movies, TV and theatre. (I saw him in a play in London in 1986 and he was excellent) And just watch films like Ben Hur, Will Penny, his Richelieu in The Three Musketeers, Pro Number One, and a ton of other movies. He could play all kind of persons.

[@elizabethroberts6215]

Mr Charlton Heston was a GREAT actor. He played roles’ that no other actor could hope to. He believed in stage acting as much as his schedule would allow, to keep him ‘up to date’ with that medium. There’s no one currently, or even possibly in the future to match him. RIP, your job was well done!

[@gerthenriksen8818]

@@elizabethroberts6215 Agree completely. No one today can match him, just look at the new versions of Ben Hur and the remake of Moses./ten Commandment. And no one looks like Charlton Heston. He was indeed a rarity, both in appearance and in his range as an actor.

[@usesumlogicmanlogicman4334]

I happened to be in a bakery showroom on Ventura Bl. one day in the late 70s when a limo pulled up out front and out came Charlton Heston. He strode in and proceeded to the counter where he took possession of a huge flat cake with an amusement park theme on it, obviously for a small child. He cradled it and walked back to the limo, where the driver opened the rear door for him, He slid in and they drove off. That random sight said tons about what kind of man he was. What an honor it was to observe it up close and personal.

[@nickflora3532]

all-time great loved his roles....

[@pillred5974]

Very nice to hear, he wasn't one of the best actors for nothing, remember what we saw on screen was his job and he was obviously very convincing at it. As for Sophia Loren if half of what was said was true about her in this article I'm not surprised they did not get on I don't think I would have thought much of her either.

[@elizabethroberts6215]

SL always arrived late on set each day, during filming of ‘El Cid’. That would’ve angered Mr Heston, the Director, & the rest of the crew, & actors’. She was just a full blown diva.

[@rob5197]

He didn't like her so what ? - many actors don't get on on set, just think of Jhon Wyane, he didn't have a great reputation did he ?

[@bobcrans710]

I don't comment on most videos,but this one gave a great account ot one of my favorites; reat job!!

[@yvonnedee9243]

Charlton Heston was my favourite actor of the golden screen and Ben Hur was my favourite film of all time . Sadly missed

[@meriennelynch4867]

Charlton Heston is one of the few actors that I have always had a great deal of respect for even though sometimes I never understood why. There was a sense of quality as a human being as a creation of God that I believe even God respected.Some think when a man does certain things in films they judge and condemn him to their narrow view of God. This man in order to keep who he was and have raised these two children is a testiment to both him and his wife. In a world that is guided by hell (if anyone knows Loren's background) would think that he would have succomed to her. The fact that he would not look into her eyes tells you alot about the spiritual man within. I love his voice so much in the Ten Commandments that I often go to HIS reading of the Bible. No man could have what he had without have a great deal of God in hsi heart no matter what he did for a living. This video proved to me that what I felt from the beginnng about this man was truly from the LORD.

[@susanweston6931]

I think he was a man who knew what he was talking about good for him rest in peace you are missed

[@rogerehinger6694]

I've enjoyed him in the big films and the lesser known such as Will Penney. I have re-watched it several times.

[@FactsVerse]

Glad to know that you're a fan of Charlton. If we may ask, what is your favorite role of his?

[@robertjames6640]

Will Penney was my favorite as it brought out much of Heston’s nature, aided by a very capable Joan Hackett. A star who tragically died too young.

[@conniesmith5161]

It's good to hear the Charlton Heston defended African-American people! Because I also remember, and I know that they came a long way in a short period of time! In the Bible Moses's Sister Miriam was angry with Moses because he married a black woman, and God struck Miriam with the disease and she was put outside the camp! Moses did the question thing and prayed for his sister, and God healed her! She was a troublemaker and she was prejudiced against the Ethiopian woman! All throughout the Bible if you read it correctly you will realize that God is Not Prejudice at all and he hates prejudice! God says; I am no respecter of persons! This pretty much says it all about what God thinks about busy bodies that dislike people with the color of their skin, God made all colors and he loves all his children and to him we are all a beautiful bouquet in his creation!

[@circlesthesun]

I privately interviewed Mr. Heston at his Hollywood book signing. He was kind, funny, and a quality man. What a thrill to talk to Moses!

[@bbobrm]

A principled man seems difficult to find these days. A man rooted in positive family values shows strength of character in a morally decaying world. I was livid when Michael Moore went after Charlton as he was suffering from Alzheimers disease and I still refuse to see anything Moore is involved in. Thank you Charlton for your wonderful contribution to entertainment.
