Charlton Heston, famous as both an Actor and an Advocate for American gun rights, died yesterday. No matter what you think of his politics, you have to admire the guy's charisma. I don't think I'll ever be able to think of Moses without having images of Heston in my head. Then there was "Ben Hur" and "Planet of the Apes"--classics.
He was the embodiment of "pioneer values — pride, independence and valor" (source). I totally understand that--those are the values I received from my father and my grandfather.
So RIP, Charlton Heston.
