For example, MSN commenter Gaucin writes: "With the passing of Charlton Heston, one of the greats of American cinema has exited stage left. I feel that, no matter how great his acting career was, it could not surpass what he did off camera. After all he was instrumental in his later years in protecting that precious American right for every sociopath to have access to a gun no questions asked. One of my favorite movie moments was when he descended from the mountain with the stone tablets on which were engraved the ten commandments including the 5th commandment: "Thou shalt not kill"." |
-------------------- Regardless of your political views, Charlton Heston will be remembered as an a man's man, charismatic, masculine hero - An American Icon. --------------------  To quote MSN commenter Jose Salazar: "Great actor and a man with great Character... He is an example of an American with integrity who served his country in a time of war and became an outspoken person about the values, which many of today's young hollywood actors and other so called Americans, don't have a clue about. A true Patriot with dignity that would come across in his acting roles that would inspire and capture his audience. Our condolences go out to his family... He will be missed."
