TCM PRESENTS-Bonhams
22 Mar 2016, starting at 10:00 PDT. Los Angeles Lot 83 would be the ARFCOM preferred piece http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23706/#/aa0=1&MR0_length=100&w0=list&m0=0 Good Luck on bidding I think the NRA should just buy the whole lot and add a extra wing to the headquarters

He had it all. My doctor looks very much like him. |

My in-laws own a Cadillac that was leased by him the last few years of his life. Papers in the dash to prove it. We call that car "Ben Hur." It was the "get away car" for our wedding.

Back in 1983 I worked in news at a New Orleans TV station.
One morning, I was asked if I'd go to the main production studio and do a couple interviews with Charleton Heston. Such requests were not uncommon and the subject matter was usually open. Mr. Heston was in town to be Grand Marshal of the Baccus Mardi Gras Krewe; that's all I was told. Let me point out that my knowledge of Charleton Heston and his career was slim, at best. I always found if I didn't know the subject thoroughly, it was best not to fake it. So, after introductions, I told him we needed to do two interviews. Mardi Gras would be one, and I'd defer to him regarding the other. The details of our conversations have long faded. But, what I do recall was that Charleton Heston was so interesting and engaging that we ended up recording enough material to run as a daily mini-segment for the next week on my morning newscast....Hollywood, politics, life, etc. Good guy. |

Charlton Heston's Son, an Oscar Voter, Criticizes "Orwellian" Diversity Changes -- http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/charlton-hestons-son-an-oscar-860471 "When he won, I think he finally felt validated as an actor," son Fraser Heston, who has the statuette today, tells THR. Daughter Holly Heston Rochell possesses the actor’s other Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. --- http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/charlton-hestons-kids-oscar-winning-867615 Luc Besson Buys Charlton Heston's Beverly Hills Architectural ... Variety-Feb 16, 2016 The longtime Beverly Hills residence of late Hollywood icon Charlton Heston was sold last month for a sliver more than $12.2 million, ---http://variety.com/2016/dirt/real-estate/luc-besson-charlton-heston-house-1201705287/ Bonhams and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will auction off rare items that belonged to the Oscar-winning actor, Charlton Heston, at his Beverly Hills home on March 22, where the actor resided with his wife, Lydia, and two children for almost half century.
The sale will feature more than 300 items, ranging from scripts, fine art, photographs, books, jewelry and furniture items. Catherine Williamson, Director of Entertainment Memorabilia, expressed hope that “Heston’s many fans will enjoy getting a glimpse into the man behind the myth.” Heston is best known in the cinematographic world for his idiosyncratic drama performances in such pictures as The Ten Commandments, El Cid, and The Agony and the Ecstasy. The actor’s passion for William Shakespeare’s artistry compelled him to collect numerous rare copies of the author’s plays such as Macbeth: A Tragedy and The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark, which are due to be auctioned too. Among the highlights of the collection are an emerald, gold, and platinum ring; diamond, ruby, and bicolor gold collar; and a pair of diamond, emerald and 18k bicolor gold bracelets. The auction will also include a series of photographs of the actor taken by his wife from 1940 to 1995—37 digital photographic prints and one gelatin silver print, mostly black and white and some color. |

I saw an interview with him right before the Alzheimers diagnosis.
he was at home, showing a flintlock pistol that had belonged to Thomas Jefferson. the interviewer asked how Heston had gotten it, and Mr. Heston replied it had been a gift. from whom, he was asked? "Why, President Jefferson", he said with a big grin... |

No Charlton Heston thread is complete without this speech...
Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Charlton Heston:
Every time our country stands in the path of danger, an instinct seems to summon her finest first -- those who truly understand her. When freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril, it's always the patriots who first hear the call. When loss of liberty is looming, as it is now, the siren sounds first in the hearts of freedom's vanguard. The smoke in the air of our Concord bridges and Pearl Harbors is always smelled first by the farmers, who come from their simple homes to find the fire, and fight, because they know that sacred stuff resides in that wooden stock and blued steel -- something that gives the most common man the most uncommon of freedoms. When ordinary hands can possess such an extraordinary instrument, that symbolizes the full measure of human dignity and liberty. That's why those five words issue an irresistible call to us all, and we muster. So -- so, as, ah, we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed -- and especially for you, Mister Gore: From my cold dead hands! Its better to watch it, the long version... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ju4Gla2odw&ab_channel=jbranstetter04 |

He was an awesome guy!
He made a visit to Mogadishu Somalia in early 1993, and I had a chance t meet him and have a photo taken. He autographed Somali 10 shilling note, which I gave to my mom.  " />
I absolutely loved that Mr Heston had a role in Tim Burton's remake of "Planet of the Apes." "DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!" just before he dies. |
