Over three decades’, I’d the great honour, & privilege of meeting Mr Charlton Heston, & his beautiful wife, Lydia, many times’. They were THE most ‘down to earth’ people I’ve ever met! Had many fantastic conversations’ with them. If you think that Mr Heston looks ‘huge’ on screen, you should’ve seen him in real life! He was 6’4” tall with very broad shoulders’. His voice had a wonderful bass pitch to it, which I could listen to all day. Never boring, his speeches’ at functions’ were most interesting. He was a very intelligent man. He died just three weeks’ after they’d celebrated their 64th Wedding Anniversary. Mrs Heston died in 2018, at 95. RIP

First time I've ever seen Heston interviewed. A very interesting man!

[@jim5746]

His majestic voice is unmistakable.

What a MAN!!!!!

[@badwolf7367]

For years I had believed that a stuntman was killed during the filming of the chariot race. Having watched this interview, I went back and researched the subject and found out it was an urban legend and that no one was killed.

I didn’t know there was an Aussie version of MTP!

[@cintasuarez5]

thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

[@dizzman5546]

He was no air head. Thats for sure. He was highly intelligent

[@gregorydeeds8619]

No modern talking head would EVER allow a guest to speak at their preferred cadence and at their personal pace for that length of time!

[@jim5746]

When you have a voice like Mr. Heston's, you have to let him speak anyway he wants !!

[@blex5579]

good man.

[@Cleisthenes607]

Everyone is so eloquent, it's like they're speaking prose. We are illiterates by comparison.

[@luciewinborne2929]

Would many of today's actors speak so articulately, eloquently, thoughtfully, and intelligently?

[@angloaust1575]

The whole world is a stage We are all actors Or as the apostle paul said I am made all things to all!
