My fondest recollection of Heston was in two Biblical epics - "The Ten Commandments" and "Ben-Hur."  And I also enjoyed him in the Planet of the Apes series, even though he did a cameo in the second one and played an elder ape in the 2001 remake. RIP, Mr. Heston.  Ronnie and the gang are waiting for you in The Great Beyond with open arms.  Enter into eternal glory...

He was reading cue cards all the way through. My guess is that maybe he wasn't good with the short rehearsal time frame they have or impromptu acting. Other than that, he was excellent in anything I've ever seen. Even his narration was awesome. He never “phoned” anything in.

Didn't people used to show respect for the dead, even their adversaries?   I guess hatred for the right is really what drives some on the left today.  Sad.
