Charlton Heston has made what America is today. We are influenced by the charactors he potrayed and by his down to earth life stype off the screen. I believe I would not be the person today if not for following is career.

Thomas McMinn, Houston, TX

Charlton Heston was truely a great actor - the roles he portrayed and acted out especially in the Biblical movies for which he will be remembered a Hero and a Legend.

A great man who has brought some of the greatest stories from the bible to seem real through his skills as an actor .

May God Bless Him and keep in his care always.

Dear Sir,
I had the pleasure of working with `Chuck` when I was the stage manager of the Theatre Royal in Brighton and I can
honestly say that he was one of the easiest and nicest of people that I ever had the privileage to work with,no big star
ego or trouble just very professional.
Rest easy `Chuck`.

Roy Roe, Brighton, England

My first and abiding memory of watching films as a young child was of Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes. I brought Charlton Heston's autobiography a few years ago entitled 'In the Arena' as a reference to his life and career in Hollywood, it being akin to being a gladiator in a cut throat business. I will miss Chuck on the big screen but at least we can enjoy his greatest moments forever and ever by virtue of television.

A loss to all Americans. A real national treasure who's articulate and unselfish causes were richly rewarded and validated by his presence. A real man and role model for us all.

Our prayers are with his closest friends and family.

America is hurt today. The last voice for the common and just man is now quiet.

Moses has entered The Promised Land. Good-bye Mr. Heston. We will miss you....

Chuck Kelly, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Like Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Stewart, Charlton Heston seemed to be a popular Hollywood actor of very fine morals off screen. Morals meaning good American, husband, father and actor. Heston had it all, and I think he would have made a great president to this country he loved so much. Rest in peace, Charlton Heston.

I remember seeing Moses over the Easter holiday and how I enjoy watching it every time it airs. I was very sad to hear that Charlton Heston died. My mother suffers from Dementia that is a form of Alzheimer's, so his family's loss hits close to home for me. I hope through his passing although sad, will shed more light on this dreaded disease that has the ability to touch all of our lives in one form or another.

Mr. Heston possessed immense acting (and writing) talent, goodness, graciousness to fans and integrity. He cared very deeply about his family and was a devoted son, husband, dad and granddad. My seeing Mr. Heston in person many times were among the most thrilling moments of my life. He was my favorite actor and at age 54 I am a lifelong fan of his. He was always gracious to fans. I have great respect for him and am deeply saddened by his passing. My condolences to his family. He was a national treasure.

I am so sorry to hear the death of Charlton Heston. I saw him in the movie "The Ten Commandments'. That is how I shall always remember Charlton Heston as Moses.
May his soul rest in peace. He is now in the arms of God.

Elsa Cardoza, Montreal, Canada

Charlton is one of Hollywood's great acting legends.
He demonstrated that you can care about things like civil rights and still be a committed conservative.
He stuck to his convictions of Christianity, morals, and conservative values despite the majority of the liberal Hollywood elite's ridicule. His speech in 1997 about the liberal culture war was a prophecy that unfortunately continues to be fulfilled daily.
I was thankful for his leadership of the NRA.
Mr. Heston was a great man at many levels, a great American, and most importantly a good Christian. He will be missed greatly here on earth, but is enjoying a much better reward now with his Lord and Savior. God Bless the Heston family during this time of loss.

C. Wright, Bremerton, WA

I am very sad with Charlton Heston´s death. He has always represented a character in extintion in this world: a man, a man with sound ideals and ideas and the courage to defend them.

His "Ben Hur" in unforgetable. And so are several of his other roles.

God rest his soul.

J. C. SOLIMEO, VINHEDO, SP, Brazil

Charlton Heston was a remarkable man, regardless of what you thought of his politics. He stood by his convictions in the face of some very stiff opposition.
He was a conservative in ultra-liberal Hollywood.
He was a gun rights advocate in today's "blame it on the gun" society.
He was a Christian man in a world where Christians are frequently ridiculed or persecuted.
He was a celebrity with morals and dignity, something we rarely find, these days.

Here's to you, Charlton Heston. May the peace that surpasses all understanding be yours.

A Powers, Burnsville, Minnesota

“If he’s not careful, he’ll get actors a good name.”

Say's it all, whatever you agree with his NRA views or not - one of the greats.

Steve, London,

I am saddened by the loss of Charlton Heston. The world could use a few more people like him in this world. Standing by your convictions with morals to boot. God Bless to your wife and your family. I am sure that the Lord was waiting for you with open arms.

Bette, Albuquerque, New Mexico

I want to know whether he was buried with a gun in his "cold, dead hand."

JOHN CHUCKMAN, toronto, Canada

he played the fall of a man in real life. Is very unfortunate to see his collapse or anybody else. He was tall, make me imagine like a tree, green and bearing fruit for his shining days, then caving in like a tree facing the season of fall. With such difference between human and other things. A tree has to obey the natural rulls, But the man could be what he want to be.
A man from" touch of evil" disappears in a bitterly funny image of a gun. Moor´s showed him wonderfully in his film.
Remember he sat besides such heros, then falling to Regan and Bush and others. At least he left something to learn!

Charlton Heston was a giant amongst Hollywood greats. He wrote to me a few times over the last few years when I was reseaching info for books etc. The last communication I had with him was when I was writing a book about the Lye born Hollywood actor Sir Cedric Hardwicke in 2006.

Sir Cedric played the Pharoah in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS in 1956 and Charlton Heston played Moses. I wrote to Mr Heston and told him what I was planning and about 3 weeks later he signed one of my pieces of photocopied info with his autograph. A mark of the man and one of the nice men of Hollywood.

Ian Payne, WALSALL,

'God' broke the mold when he 'cast' Heston. I have spent many a year teaching his moral virtues to my children, my daughter rang me yesterday, "Dad, I have some really bad news..."
The adage ' they really don't make them like that any more' serves us well here, irrespective of politics, and religion. A life well served.

Alan Noorkoiv, coventry, England

A really great man who said what he believed and stood by those beliefs. A person can't be guaged by more than that.

God Bless him and his family.

Bubba Whitley, Fountain Valley, CA, USA

I find him quite the admirable man -- following his conscience wherever it led him (but really, who changed: Heston or society around him?) and assaying some of the most gigantic movie roles. Not to mention his theater and television work. And staying married to the same woman throughout. For an actor, how much better can life get?
