Charlton Heston, RIP
Posted by Gordon Smith
Charlton Heston was 83 years old. He was great as Moses, but when I was a young boy, that chariot race in Ben Hur was one of the most exciting things I had ever seen.
Still, my favorite Heston movie remains Planet of the Apes.
Maybe because I also read the book by Pierre Boulle, which I remember as being quite wonderful, or perhaps because I was in high school in Wisconsin when this appeared on Lake Mendota in Madison:
UPDATE: I didn't realize that Rod Serling co-wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Have you seen the movie as a Twilight Zone episode?
