Mr. Heston was a fine Actor, but his life and the impact he made on American Life - if not the world and its cultures - is one that exemplified the values of Liberty and American Life. As a political voice, Mr. Heston stood for and represented the core of his generation, and will be remembered for the Century in American culture he was a part of in his time.
On Screen, Mr. Heston single handedly delivered the most striking and magnificent performances that Hollywood has every recognized in it’s history of Great Cinema.
Even today, Directors and Actors across the globe look to these performance in hope and in serach for their own inspiration, looking forward to a New Generation of Cinema.
Mr. Heston will be remembered. Mr. Heston will be missed.
