Charlton Heston died tonight in his home in Beverly Hills. He was born October 4, 1924, in Evanston, IL, and became a living legend. He won the Best Actor Oscar in 1959 for "Ben-Hur," and became known for portraying mainly heroic figures in the popular movie epics in the '50s and '60s. Heston played Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and others in a career that spanned over 60 years. He became president of the National Rifle Association in 1998, and held that position until 2003, after revealing in 2002 he had Alzheimer's disease. These aren't the best pictures in the world, but they're all I could find! Do they let you bring guns into heaven?
