May he rest in peace, one of the very few Hollywood Greats that was left.
He WAS Moses to me when I was a kid. This is one of my favorite scenes of all time that he performed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUR-OdR3egU
You will be missed. My Dad always called him Sterling Histon for some reason.

He has been one of my heroes ever since childhood. I had a very brief hand shake with him at the NRA convention in Charlotte back in 2000. I will miss him. God receive him in your loving hands.

The TRUE President of the USA...not just the NRA. Clinton wasn't. Heston was.

My humble opinion...

I got to meet him once back in 1986 or 87....I worked with his cousin then.

A very quiet, reserved fellow away from the spot light. I did not have the nerve to ask but I think he was carrying a Colt Detective Special (or something similar) under his sport jacket.

I was enthralled with the 9mm revolution at the time so the revolver made no impression on me but I recalled the meeting at the local gun shop over coffee a few days later and all the 'old men' nodded approvingly.
