Charlton Heston passes away at 84.(Inside Track)(Obituary)(Brief article)
Screen legend Charlton Heston, famed for his epic film roles in the 1950s and '60s and his activism on behalf of conservative political causes in the 1980s and '90s, passed away at his home in Beverly Hills on April 5. He was 84. His signature performances in The Ten Commandments (as Moses), Ben-Hur (as Judah Ben-Hur, for which he won a best-actor Oscar), and The Agony and the Ecstasy (as Michelangelo) established him as Hollywood's top leading man for historical, larger-than-life figures. However, he also proved himself equally capable at playing modern characters in a 20th-century setting--or even in the future, as in his sci-fi classics Planet of the Apes, Soylent Green, and The Omega Man.
