I know my sisters <strong>Holly</strong> and <strong>Mikelle</strong> looked forward to my monopolization of the television Easter mornings for almost 5 hours when <strong>Ben-Hur </strong>(1959) came on!&#160; I never thought he was a great actor but <strong>Charlton Heston </strong>gave us some great moments in his Oscar-winning epic, <strong>The Planet of the Apes</strong>, <strong>Touch of Evil </strong>(as a Mexican police officer), <strong>The Ten Commandments</strong>, and <strong>The Big Country </strong>(his best acting gig in my opinion).&#160;So in honor of <strong>Heston</strong> (and not his politics) I would like to share this clip of some of his best film moments. </p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700e398ed95cb0004" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 425px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a3.vox-data.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398ed95cb0004-html" style="width: 425px; height: 355px;"></iframe> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name">Ben-Hur - Chariot Race</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>&#160;</p> <p>&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700f48d0abc360001" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 425px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a6.vox-data.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700f48d0abc360001-html" style="width: 425px; height: 355px;"></iframe> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name">Charlton Heston - The Big Country</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700e398eda6370005" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 425px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a7.vox-data.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398eda6370005-html" style="width: 425px; height: 355px;"></iframe> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name">The Ten Commandments</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700e398ed96a40004" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 425px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a4.vox-data.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398ed96a40004-html" style="width: 425px; height: 355px;"></iframe> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name">Soylent Green</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://mcfreed.vox.com/library/post/charlton-heston-rip.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d41449676f6a4700f48cec03950002?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> celebrity actor obituary soylent green charlton heston the ten commandments ben-hur celebrity obituary
