BEVERLY HILLS, California, April 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In his legendary film career he played saints, geniuses, prophets, soldiers and even the occasional bad guy, but in real life, Charlton Heston was a genuine hero for his defence of civil rights for blacks and for the unborn. His death on Saturday, at age 84, was met with an outpouring of admiration and tributes on the internet and television news and on countless blogs. Admirers lauded him as one of the last of the old-time Hollywood movie stars, and as a man who also embodied in his off-screen life the integrity, patriotism and honour he often portrayed in films.

One year and one day ago, Charlton Heston passed away. I for one miss him. A great actor, American patriot, defender of civil rights, gun rights and the rights of the unborn. Where are the Charlton Hestons of our generation?

RIP, Moses, Ben-Hur, El Cid, et al.

Mr. Heston was a good, down-to-earth type of guy. I had the opportunity to meet him one time at a gathering in Los Angeles. We spoke for several minutes; casually. He was a cool dude; one of the "good guys" for sure.

R.I.P.

Enjoyed his performance in Ben-Hur very much. In fact it was on last week and I watched it again.

I miss those bumper stickers that said, “My President Is Charlton Heston.” Those would sure come in handy for these next four years.

I was so sad when I found out about his death. Not surprised, but sad. Chuck loved his craft, loved his country, and most of all, loved his wife.
