Thirty years ago this spring, legendary actor Charlton Heston called into the Rush Limbaugh radio program. He told Rush there was something he wanted to share with the audience.
Here it is: Charlton Heston reading from the Michael Crichton novel Jurassic Park.
Crichton himself was no friend of the climate cult either.
That was nice. Nice memories.
I remember when that happened. Two of my favorite people, and I became a fan of Crichton’s.
And Charlton Heston was one of the greatest actors ever!
And of course no Earth Day would be complete without this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElJFYwRtrH4
Those peeps seeking to have no anthropocentric CO2 generation need to hold their breath.
Yes, they should lead by example!
This may have been excerpted from another Crichton novel...State of Fear
No, it’s from Jurassic Park. It’s a slight adaptation from the scene toward the end of the novel where Ian Malcolm is rebuffing John Hammond’s notion that mankind can destroy the world.
“And Charlton Heston was one of the greatest actors ever!”
I think his best performance was in “Will Penny.” I read somewhere that was his favorite role.
He was excellent in Will Penny.
I was disappointed at the end, when the old beat up cowboy did not stay with the young woman that fell in love with him.
Also, nobody could have made a better Ben-Hur than Charlton Heston.

Crichton I actually wrote a book about climate, change, or climate control. It was one of the lash books wrote. It was called. State of Fear. In that book, he destroyed people like John Kerry, and others, pushing this climate control BS.
He also discussed how government lead propaganda has been controlling our lives, since the end of World War II worth the read
Thanks for sharing that. I’m in the middle of watching a movie from 1966 titled: “The Fat Spy. I found it on a torrent site and downloaded it because Phyllis Diller is in it. I loved Phyllis Diller. Comedian Jack E. Leonard is also in it, as is Jayne Mansfield, and Brian Donlevy. Singer/song writer Johnny Tillotson (Poetry in Motion) is also in the cast. Before I saw your thread, I scrolled down the other actors in the film. I came across Linda Harrison, who plays one of the teenage girl in the movie. That name sounded familiar, so I clicked on it, and was reminded that she played Nova in The Planet of the Apes movie with Charlton Heston. Harrison had a bit part in the 2001 “The Planet of the Apes.” She hasn’t been in anything since then, but her IMDb page shows her in an upcoming film titled Midnight Massacre that’s being released in December. There’s at least three WWE wrestlers in the film with her: Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, ‘Hacksaw’ Jim Duggan, and Wayne “The Honkey Tonk Man” Farris.
One of my favorite movies that featured Phyllis Diller was “The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell” made in 1968. Bob Hope, along with Jeffrey Hunter, Gina Lollobrigida (she passed away January of this year), Dick Sergeant (Bewitched), and William Christopher (Father Francis Mulcahy in M*A*S*H) also starred in it.
Joan Hackett played the woman. Will Penny didn’t stay with her because, as he put it: “It’s too late; it’s too late for me.”
Great movie.
Thanks. Crichton left us too soon.
Odd that you should note Will Penny. I have thought about that Western many times over the years. It was a terrifically honest portrayal, something that Heston was good at. The ending was so un-Hollywood as to beggar description.
