From the Los Angeles Times: No word yet on whether he made a point of dying with a gun in his hands. Maybe if I thought he was a good actor his movies would be the first thing to come to mind. ____________________ Notes: Welkos, Robert W. and Susan King.

:bawl: oh I liked that actor Soulent Green 4 ever Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Forget his acting, he was a gorgeous specimen of manhood. I still remember him in Ben Hur Exhumed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green
He choked to death eating those green wafers!! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Sorry to see him depart but he did leave us with some great movies to remember him by....The Ten Comandments was a very special movie when it was made with some great special effects as well as some Bible learning to go along with it.
Soylent Green is a 1973 dystopian science fiction movie depicting a bleak future in which overpopulation, global warming, and the resulting severe damage to the ecology have led to widespread unemployment and poverty. Real fruit, vegetables, and meat are rare, expensive commodities, and much of the population survives on processed food rations, including "soylent green" wafers. The film overlays the genres of science fiction and the police procedural as it depicts the efforts of New York City police detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) and elderly police researcher Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson) to investigate the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman named William R. Simonson (Joseph Cotten). Thorn and Roth uncover clues which suggest that it is more than simply a bungled burglary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green
Was it actually a popular movie? :shrug: Anyway, I voted for "Get your hands off me, you damn dirty ape!". Who else could of made that line so good? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
yeah cosmic, prepare to be shown a very nice relaxing before the death movie with flowers and awesome music and injected a slow "painless" toxin to cause death in 1 min...and than the next day cosmic will be converted into green munchkins for hungry toothless children outside New York
that movie is hilarious Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! its sort of like dark humor comedy of overpopulation, it was popular back in its time.
For its time it was pretty good. Not much in the way of special effects but the message it presented us with made people pause and think for an instant, then back on towards global destruction full steam! Faye Ray in King Kong?
Ahhh Heston. One of the greats... possibly THE great. I do so love "Planet of the Apes". One of my faves. They don't make 'em like they used to. Hmmm... I suddenly want to buy a 12 gauge. ~String
I voted for planet of the apes, because I love that movie. But how could you omit Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! from your poll?
From Wikipedia: That in itself almost makes Ben-Hur worth watching. Almost. • • • Um ... it was four in the morning? ____________________ Notes: Wikipedia. "Ben-Hur (1959 film)". Updated April 6, 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben-Hur_(1959_film) I knew I was forgetting something. Like I said in the topic post, maybe if I thought he was a better actor, his movies would come more readily to mind.
I have to agree with MadAnt. The 10 Commandments is what I think of when it comes to Heston. Growing up, we watched it every Easter (?????) because my Mom said so.
I was always hoping that he would have realized that he has wasted his life promoting death, violence, hate and extremism and taken one of his precious guns and shot himself at an NRA convention and splattered his brains all over the other fucks who frequent these events.
