[charlton heston] vale, quiet man of passion

Charlton Heston has died and there's a nice tribute over at Nunyaa's place:

Heston was certainly one of the 'old school' of actors who gave perfection to his chosen craft of acting and provided countless hours of enjoyment. Charlton Heston maintained his style and dignity until his passing Saturday night and will be missed by many fans around the world.

Amen to that. He was one of the best and combined with Robert Aldrich in Twilight's Last Gleaming, a nice commentary on the true state of affairs in the U.S., he was superlative - tailor made for the role with his quiet passion.

One of my favourites of all time. Here's an interesting little psychological profile of him.
