CHARLTON HESTON?

CHARLTON HESTON (1924-2008) was a leading man for 6 decades. He is sometimes called "the great stone face".








Haven't you seen The Greatest Show On Earth (1952)? His role as the circus manager in Cecil B. DeMille's epic propelled him to stardom.



Watch this and then see these other four films.


The Ten Commandments (1956) His Moses more than held his own opposite Yul Brynner's Rameses the Great. Outstanding performance.
Ben-Hur (1959) Heston was awarded the Best Actor Oscar for his role in William Wyler's epic.
Planet Of The Apes (1968) Heston stars in the Sci-Fi classic. (Tim Burton's remake is already a footnote in film history).
Treasure Island (1990) Heston portrays a chilling Long John Silver in the best adaptation of Stevenson's oft-filmed book.
