“From my cold, dead hands!”

I imagine Charlton Heston is still gripping his gun.  Back in my college days, we held ‘mandment parties each year when The Ten Commandments aired.  That movie sits on my list of top movies of all time.

I was never the fan of The Planet of the Apes that all my friends were . . . sci fi et al.  But I think there is enough in Heston’s back catalogue to keep one busy: Macbeth, A Man for All Seasons, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Mister Roberts, The Greatest Show on Earth, Ben-Hur, and Soylent Green.

Rest in peace, Mr. Heston.
