Heston Family Has Difficulty Coping with his Death
The family of Charlton Heston is reportedly having a hard time dealing
with his death Saturday night. "Taking the guns from his cold dead
hands - much creepier than expected," reports a family spokesperson.
"Even though he gave us permission to do this several times, the rigor
mortis made it fairly difficult, and way creepier than you would think."

He seemed genuine. I did not know he had alzheimers. Heston is the last of the icon actors.......you could call him an old school actor. I read that he pissed off the studio over expressing his opinions about rap crap music. That makes him even more of icon to me.
I wonder if 25 years from now Sylvester Stallone will be considered an icon actor?
Anyway.....Ben Hur!

Statement of Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association of America:
Today, my heart is heavy with the loss of Charlton Heston. America has lost a great patriot. The Second Amendment has lost a faithful friend. So have I, and so have four million NRA members and eighty million gun owners. And so has every American who cares about the Bill of Rights, individual liberty, and Freedom.
My heart is heavy, but not without a sense of pride. Pride in a man who devoted his life to his profession with grace and dignity. Pride in an American who devoted himself to civil rights, to correcting injustices around him, and to standing up for what he knew was right. Pride in a friend who stood with me and stood with fellow NRA members to preserve our freedom for future generations. Pride in a patriot who believed with every fiber of his being that our Bill of Rights is the foundation of our freedom that makes Americans singular among the masses of nations.
And now, Charlton Heston has passed that duty to us - the next generation. I am as proud to continue his cause as I am to have known him as my friend.
But today, my thoughts cannot leave the Heston family. They have always had my utmost respect and admiration and, today, they have my deepest sympathy and most earnest prayers, and they will always have my friendship.
