And let's not forget That Voice of his.

So many larger than life roles. An unforgettable actor and man.

I have many fond memories of watching The Ten Commandments in school every year. My teenage heart couldn't make up her mind who to like most--you or Yul Brynner--and I felt wicked liking the bad Pharoah. You two were my first fixation with my noble man vs bad boy dilemma.

As the years passed, I enjoyed many of your movies, the "extra" something you brought into each legendary role. No one has played so many legendary characters and made them so memorable. Every other Moses and Ben Hur paled in comparison after that. Thank you for the pleasure.

Charlton Heston has passed away, with his wife of 64 years by his side. Rest in peace, Mr. Heston.
