Amen to that. This is the first time I've come to Jabootu to post something and found somebody had beat me to it. He was a great actor. They just don't make actors-or movies-like they used to.

One of my favorites. One of the few actors who went beyond "star" or "super-star" to become an Icon in cinema.

Farewell to the "Omega Man" - a true legend in the world of cinema. The end of an era. Rest in Peace, sir...

Ah, man.

With his death, a whole era goes with him.

Rest in Peace!

And GOD, open the gates REAL WIDE for this one. I'd say he has earned it.

Yesterday afternoon, I caught a bio of Patrick O'Brian that was made about ten years ago. Several scenes had Charlton Heston giving little tidbits about the man and reading from some of his work. He looked like the picture of health in those scenes, and I couldn't help but be saddened, knowing how his health had started to take a sharp down turn not long after that interview was done.

Little did I know.

We lost another great one. Rest in peace, Mr. Heston.

One of the last of the true Hollywood icons. This is a sad day.

The man had style.[I/]
The much of the old gang came from working class backgrounds. They had some experiance at life, and that made their work more real. The Heston had it.

RIP big man. I'll be sure and kill a damn dirty ape in your honor.

And I'll be sure to use a huge gun, too. I'm sure you'd want it that way. :)

Oddly enough, I just watched _PotA_ not that long ago... *sigh*

I may not have always agreed with him, but he was a damn good actor. RIP
