Charlton Heston

4 October 1923 - 5 April 2008

Actor

A star associated with roles in epic movies, Heston’s best known films include The Ten Commandments (1956), Ben-Hur (1959), El Cid (1961) and Planet Of The Apes (1968). But he was equally adept tackling more conflicted characters in films such as Touch Of Evil (1958) and Soylent Green (1973).
