“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.

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.
