Charlton Heston and Barbara
Auffret
This photo was taken at the
opening of Mr. Heston's documentary film "The Bible", a 3 part series. In the
above photo Mr. Heston received an award (which you can partly see in his
hand) presented by The Episcopal Church in Pacific Palisades, California. I
was happy to be in attendance and truly enjoyed the film.
A TRIBUTE TO A HERO

He was an American Academy Award–winning actor of film, theater and
television. Heston is known for having played heroic roles, such as Moses in
The Ten Commandments, Colonel George Taylor in Planet of the Apes and Judah
Ben-Hur in Ben-Hur, the role for which he won the Academy Award for Best
Actor. In the 1950s and 1960s he was one of a handful of Hollywood actors to
speak openly against racism and was an active supporter of the Civil Rights
Movement. Initially a liberal Democrat, he later supported conservative
politics and was president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to
2003.
