The end of an era.
On Saturday evening, while I was watching my beloved Montreal Canadiens possibly win the conference, there was another battle being fought, and lost. Charlton Heston, who was one of my all time favourite performers passed away at the age of 84.
I have fond childhood memories of watching him in many of his epic roles. He was one of my Grandmother's favourites as well and so whenever one of them was on the TV we would curl up and watch him, like a couple of star struck teenagers.
While I may not agree with his views on gun control (that is a given) the pure talent that flowed from him while he was on stage is undeniable.
God Speed Mr Heston.
With your passing comes the end of an era for Hollywood.



He was a great actor... And like you I didn't jive with his idea about the freedom to bare arms...Guns don't kill people but they help!
Hugs
