He has been king and slave, hero and villain, renowned throughout the movie-going world for the heroic figures he played during his early years in Hollywood: Moses, Ben-Hur, El Cid and Michaelangelo. In a wide range of roles, from classical to futuristic, he has shown himself a consummate actor. But Charlton Heston has always been more than a star.
Although he is a private man, he has often appeared to be a very public one, willing to speak up on issues he believes in-however controversial they may be. Includes scenes from The Greatest Show On Earth, The Ten Commandments, The Big Country, Ben-Hur, Will Penny, Soylent Green, and Planet of the Apes.
Everything about him was stunning !❤️
there will never be another actor like Heston! He was remarkable.
They tried to do a Ben Hur remake. Forget it.

Your kidding me ????
I agree completely with you.
I support the 2nd Amendment as well, MOL, and CH was neither moronic, nor a gun nutjob. But he did support the 2nd Amendment rights. And Heston was very active in support of US troops all over the world, having visited our men in over a dozen different countries. He also donated his time, free, to narrate many US govt videos. You are a petty little anti-gun nutjob, and I pity you because you will never know how great a man, and actor, Charlton Heston was. Or at least your kind is so blinded by hate that your blinders won't allow you to see the truth.
There will never be another Charlton Heston. Amazing actor, such a gentleman and great husband and father
Que geração fabulosa filmes. Épicos moises é muitos talvez nenhum ator de personagens bíblicas como Charles heston
The Ten Commandments , Omega Man , EARTHQUAKE ....
My best as a Teen ...
My first movie I ever saw was Ben Hur then late that day I saw The Ten Commandments from that day on I was in love his beautiful blue eyes lit up the screen
What year did you first see Ben-Hur? We saw it at Grauman's Chinese Theater, about 2 or 3 months after it premiered. In person I saw Ben-Hur's chariot, with red velvet ropes around it. I reached out with my little hand (I was about four at the time) and touched one of the ropes. I don't remember, but I was told, one of the "humongous" statues during the chariot race was there too. It was only about 3 feet high! We went in about 8 P.M., but it didn't start until around 8:30, then the red curtains pulled back, I was getting sleepy, I fell asleep during, what I called the DEAD part of the movie (I was just a small kid then, what do you want?) when Judah was talking to Esther's in a certain blue room ( before the ruckus started). Later I woke up during the chariot race, when it was over I fell asleep until it was over! Since then, many years later I saw I twice, at a walk-in theatre and Torrance Drive-In ( the drive-in was torn down in the late 1980s). Yes, I stayed awake throughout ... ( saw IT twice)
1977 I was ten
Chuck A True Great. Many thanks for sharing so much.
Moses, Mark Anthony, El Cid, Andrew Jackson, Judah Ben Hur, John the Baptist, Michelangelo, Cardinal Richelieu, King Henry VIII, all these historical characters looked like Charlton Heston.
He was really kind of scary as John the Baptist. Wouldn't want to be caught sinning by that guy.
Admiration only to this man
An EPIC actor and an Epic man in real life. Just finished reading his autobiography, best autobiography I have ever read.
Charlton is not just greatness. but also possess Godly qualities. He was real and divine man. Whenever i look at him, he look like saint. who would create charisma. There are no words to describe. I suppose if he has not become an actor, he could have been a charismatic minister. He is divine. I respect him and i adore him.
Sudhar Son isn’t it incredible how one human being can be such a force of nature and have such a powerful and positive effect on so many across the generations. I first saw Ben Hur in ‘wide screen CinemaScope’ as they called it back then when I was eight years old. The story is so powerful and life changing I have probably seen it fifty or more times since then. Charlton Heston has managed to play and portray many diverse and unique characters but always his heart remains good and pure. Thank you for loving and appreciating this man as much as I do. Namaste
@@Hugatree1 true

There will never be another like Yul Brenner, I just loved that man.

I love Charlton Heston. He was such a great actor, which we can use in the world today. Rest In Peace Charlton Heston. Gone but never forgotten.

Here's to you, Charlton Heston - a superb actor and a man of integrity.
It's not that they don't just make movies like these anymore, it's that they don't have amazing men like Mr. Heston to play the roles anymore. Much respect.
You can't understate what you said here; especially considering all that is going on in the world today.
True
I met him once at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion a week before "Oscar" Monday. He was the President of the Academy This was in 1980s. My mother talked me into taking a free tour of this beautiful building!! I would have never done the tour if not for her cajoling me. I didn't recognize him at first but when he took off his sunglasses, WOW...THOSE BLUE EYES!!! His deep beautiful tan!! And his beautiful white teeth!! He shook my hand thanking me for taking the tour to my chagrin!! Silently hoping my mother would keep quiet about me not wanting to go on the tour to this beyond handsome man shaking my hand!! Although he was a senior citizen by then ,he really caught my attention in those 5 minutes and he was definitely a head turner !! I was a twenty something year old and I have met many actors growing up in Los Angeles yet I am still impressed by Mr Heston's physical appearance and those unusually blue eyes. When I met Tony Curtis on a set , he had the same unusual blue eyes too but Chuck still was more striking!!!
Lucky you.
He had a classic beautiful face…he had a great voice and he was tall..he was perfect
Great actor, and VERY handsome man, but what I appreciate most is his loyalty to his wife and his family. I love his movies. The Ten Commandments, and Ben-Hur are my favorites. May his memory be blessed!
I agree every word. Thank you for your comment
He was legendary and since he left the NRA before his passing, the organization nothing without him.
Loyalty, particularly...in a relationship or marriage, is everything!
He was a beautiful man inside and out. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A good actor and a good man. His book An Actor's Life did not sell well, because, as he said, "my life was void of scandal and that's what sells books." He was married to one woman his entire life. He was a very traditional man, a rare breed in Hollywood.
Seeing these wonderful videos about screen actors of a bygone era demonstrates the contrast with today’s movies. Heroic roles and players are pitifully few. Heston, Cooper, Peck, all great actors.
R.I.P. CHARLTON HESTON. There's NO ONE like YOU !!! THANKS for the up-load.
One of the best there is! Still watching his movies today and still awed by his performances!
Very cruel of Michael Moore to insult the elder Heston in his own home in movie, BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE.
Michael Moore is very against Mr. Heston's pro 2nd Amendment stand, but didn't have to disrespect him!
Michael Moore is an Ass. We all know that....and he knows it
Moores movie has gone to the land fill
He was a good Man. Anything he played was good.
Such a hero to me growing up.
He march with M L King
Wonderful Actor and Great Gentleman. I was lucky enough to see him on stage in Manchester starring inCaine Mutiny Court Martial where he kindly signed his Book for me. He received great reviews for his performance and couple of years later was back on the Stage for the part of Sir Thomas Moore in A Man For All Seasons and afterwardsI was invited to remain in my seat till all other patrons had left. Mr Heston came from his Dressing Room and spent considerable time with My Wife & I chatting about his career, posing for photographs with me and signing many items for my collection. Be many years before a man of such stature will be on Film, Stage, TV etc., and the willingness to spend time with his admiters
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
as Juda Ben Hurr, this is one of the finest portrayals of a caractor on film.
The power, the emotion, the love and the hate is fully expressed.
And in the end he found love and peace in the end seane when he sees his mother and sister on the stairs is one of the most emotionally charged endings ever.
A true legend.....
I met him in 1965 when “The War Lord” premiered in Detroit. He was so gracious and humble. Exactly as I expected him to be.
I saw Benhur as a young girl and the impact it had on me was for a life time.
Me too !!
One of the best actors of all times !!
He is still one of my favorites, Him and Peck todays actors can't hold a candle next to these two fine actors and they were fine men also...
@Leo Peridot 😮😂😂😜
Chris Hoyt 👍😆😆😆. Chuck Norris, David Hasselhoff, Dwayne Johnson, Steven Seagal, Ashton Kutcher, SHAQUILLE O’NEAL....❓❓❓❓❓O M G,,, they are defuses!!😆🤣😆🤣😆😬
@@Melinda8162 Denzel washington is one of the greatest actors in our generation please.
@@joshuaj.chinda9873
Never said he wasn’t! Denzel is great, of course!
I degree
Even as an elder he was still very handsome. 😍
I just cannot forget the roll in which he played as Moses &as a slave in Ten Commandments &Benhur.What a realistic action he played is just cannot forget.
I can’t 8magine another actor, no matter how good playing Moses 💕
" From my dead cold hands!" You (along with Gr. Peck and Victor Mature) were real MEN!!!! And taught us to be men!!! Farewell Judah Ben Hur!!!
So true
Well, his hands are dead all right. Feel better?
@@randolphpinkle4482 no I do not!!!
@@randolphpinkle4482 you can't even respect him
Ben Hur alone puts him up there as the greatest for me !!! He must be in most of all the scenes in Ben Hur,imagine how difficult that is to do !!!
The true king of cinema...EVERYTHING HE PLAYED WAS A MASTERPIECE
Not quite. We saw the "Khartoum" movie at Torrance Drive-In when it was new, and it was so dull and boring.
I agree. He was a great actor. He was convincing in his roles and he gave a seal of success in most of his movies.
@@bobbyfrancis8957
How so? Please explain.
@@Nimgimmer1492 I only saw "Khartoum" a few times, but it was slow moving with hardly any action at all, even that movie critic, Leonard Maltin, said it was dull.
Soylent Green was terrible
Great man. We need men like this today
He doesn't require any make up to play a King's role. Respect for a Legend.
Charlton is considered real the King of movies 👑
A classical actor. An old school actor.
Who was also a natural actor at the same time.
A stiff upper lip man.
Truly missed to this day.
Great to know he was from N.C. l live in S.C. he's from the South and does us proud. Sorry l never got to meet him. We miss you Charlton.
Charlton is or was a great and real man. The men today aren't like him but they should be like him!
Here in the Philippines, we have Fernando Poe Jr. or FPJ, the king of Philippine movies but in Hollywood or in all the world, we have that great man Charlton Heston as the most gifted and successful actor. Really blessed.
One extraordinary actor One extra extraordinary man
Wonderful actor, a true artist of the cinema and genuine human being.
Wonderful life for him and his family.,
I love Heston for another reason entirely: Years on when his old friend and co-star from THE PRESIDENT'S LADY, Susan Hayward was gravely ill, she made an appearance at the Oscar ceremony. Decked out in a magnificent green Nolan Miller gown, red wig, and jewelry, she looked every inch the princess. No one in the audience could have suspected just how ill she was - her wheelchair was offstage in the wings. Heston walked her across the stage, to the enthusiastic applause of the audience. He steadied her and made her look so lovely, in that final appearance. This took a very special kind of generosity and kindness. We would lose him to Alzheimer's. How tragic and, ironic. Lucky we are to have his films to watch and enjoy..
R😂😂🎉😂😂😂🎉😂🎉🎉He is one of a kind, an actor by nature!!
God did I Love Charleston Heston nobody could play the role in Ben-Hur like he did he was fabulous
No one other then Heston could've played Moses. That character had to have the presence of Charlton Heston to make him real to the audience & only Yul Brynner could've played pharaoh. Perfect casting. Luckily these 2 actors were available.
Yes I agree
what I admire the most about him?? how much he loves his wife...
I admire him and Pat Boone for that
E@@sonnyalcaras777 67
He was a man of only one woman. He was so loyalty to his wife, in spite of the beautiful actresses he worked with.
He was the most handsome man I ever laid eyes on.
A co-worker told me many years ago that when he worked in Los Angeles as a nurse he walked in on Heston (who was a patient) and greeted him with a pointing finger and an ominous "LET MY PEOPLE GO" and had him laughing at his antics, so he definitely had a sense of humor.
Oh how the world could use Charlton Heston now....
AH !! CEASAR of Hollywood Actors !!! I Never got Bored By His Movies! His Presence was Supreme !!! His Acting Flawless !!
He chose His Movies wisely !! They were ALL Hits !!! From, U.K.
Very touching and ❤️ heartfelt intelligent emotional moments between Mr. Heston and (a dying in Real Life, as on the Screen) Edward G. Robinson,
in SOYLENT GREEN!
One of my favorites and still miss seeing him today. No one will ever fill his shoes or come close. Hats off sir. :)
Charlton Heston:
An Origional, One of a Kind, Larger Than Life; He was The Best of The Best🙄💜❤💜❤Thank-you For All Your Amazing and Inspirational Movies.
You Taught Us All More of Ancient and Biblical History
"Brought-to-Life" than Any College or Book Could Ever Hope. THANK YOU.☺ GOD BLESS YOU & Your Family
Heston was the best looking man to ever grace the screen. Period.
The part when he says goodbye to Sol in Soylent Green is so heartbreaking. Especially knowing that he really cried in that scene
Jeremy Gabryszak - Why not cry when appropriate?
Jesus Christ was a man of sorrows.
Shortest verse in Bible is, JESUS WEPT!
NB: Soylent Green......'The year is 2022'.......!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edward G. Robinson was actually dying. That scene was his last ever acting one. The rest of the crew didn’t know it at the time, but found out later. Mr Heston said this in one of his interviews’ available on YT.
What a beautiful biography about a beautiful man! Legend!
If lord of the rings were made in his time, he would be Aragorn.
Today Commemorates Charlton Heston's 95th Birthday
Charlton Heston was a wonderful person.
The big country 1959 really good movie! ❤️
The best actor can play any role his voice is outstanding. We are losing our best actors so sad we will miss him but he left us so many great movies to watch an enjoy thanks
Amazing man, inspiring actor and a legend of cinema. It saddens me though that the younger generation will most likely miss his brilliance of character and performance.
One of the greatest voice's ever !
Hollywood never ever going to see any actors like Charleston Heston he was the best and he’s going to stay best for ever and ever ❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️🙏🏻🥰
he was brilliant
Such a gorgeous, strong, manly, and powerful presence as a human being. We love and miss you Charlton Heston! Thank you for setting the example of excellence!
I fell in love with Charleton Heston when I was five years old. He was Moses and I was awestruck from then on. What a wonderful actor and a man's man. I miss those kind of actors. I know Ben Hur and Ten Commandments by heart. I've seen them both over 100 times and I will STILL watch them again and again. God bless you Mr.Heston
Stef C. You're so gross!
Sue Newmeyer a good
Sue Newmeyer "Seen both 100 times" I also love both films. I haven't seen them 100 times each, but I'm close. lol
Don't let the ravings of this ignorant wretch bother you. MOL is just another rabid anti-gun moron trying to win the debate on the 2nd Amendment by personal attack and fear vs fact. He's just an ignorant, little boy whose thumb he stopped sucking long enough to type this sad, vicious comment - or was that thumb somewhere else?
100 times!!
That must be a record.
Truly a Giant in the world of acting and fortunate to have been able to star in big roles most of the time. A genuine person, who always came across as being very honest and sincere on and off camera. Mr Heston was and is always in my top favorites ! Thank you for posting this great documentary.
Always liked his portrayals.....blessings sir!
Well done! I grew up watching Mr. Heston and to me he was larger than life. As I grew older my respect and admiration for him grew as he took roles that most other actors wouldn't touch. Then as I learned more about him in his personal life my admiration grew even more. He exemplifies that whole generation of actors that came out of the 'Greatest Generation'. They just don't make 'em like him any more! I'm grateful for the legacy he and many others left for us to appreciate.
So true
EXCELENTE ACTOR...!!
He' s one of most handsomes actors,yep !?!!?
Richard Johnson What did he say? Where is his comment?
How fortunate we are that we have these great films with classic actors like charlton Heston to watch and appreciate what real actors are. They entertain us and when we’ve finished being entertained we’re left with a warm feeling. I’m afraid that no actors these days entertain me the way the older generation of actors did and still do when I watch the old classics.
Chuck and Lydia's love story is ONE we all want. With all the temptations they faced in the theatre, tv, and the movies, they remained deeply in love, in wonderment of each other. It hurts to think of the sad ending to their life long love affair. It had to be so hard for Lydia. There is nothing CH did that I didn't enjoy. My kids love Planet of the Apes especially the ending when he finds the Statue of Liberty. Of course BenHur is my favorite CH movie followed closely by Moses. He was an incredible President of the Screen Actor's Guild. He marched for Civil Liberties along side of Dr. Martin Luther King. I can't imagine anyone else that was so large of life who could have filled all his movie roles and his other roles in trying to make life better for everyone. He could have just sat on his haunches, enjoyed his success, as other actors have done but he chose to be INVOLVED, to make our country a better place for every American. We miss you Chuck. You were one of a kind, a true STAR.
What a great documentary. Heston is easily one of my very favorite actors. I don't see anyone filling his shoes. The part that covered early live T.V. was very interesting. It was the golden age. T.V. has been crap for a very log time now.
I have always loved, Charlton Heston.
He was/is a special Soul Energy, and it made for a special man. I enjoy his films, documentaries, and his character that always vibrates through his roles and his personality.
A true class, a true artist, and a true authentic individual.
Appreciate this documentary share.
Foi um ator magnífico nterpretou grandes filmes épicos referentes a Bíblia vários clássicos de bons faroeste filmes de ficção dramas sempre com sua marca de um dos maiores atores de filmes épicos eu considero na lista mundial como um dos 10 maiores atores do século XX

Oh, a bit of HomoPhobia mixed in with your Liberal loser views on guns, Mohel? I bet your "progressive" friends would be horrified. But from the ignorance and intolerance you display here, my guess is that the only friends you have cost extra for sex once they see your face.
@@gregwbbb now ....now .....boys ! Let's be civil....MAGA BABY !
Favourite movie Ben Hur.
The ten commandments & ben hur are equal
There's not one actor working in Hollywood these days who comes close to Heston.
i would add here same goes for Gregory Peck. Two great and saintly actors.
Sudhar Son and Jimmy Stewart
Charlton Heston: "No finer Actor!"
John Wayne: I love them both. They were ingrained in my mine
