Jesus, Widmark, Dassin, and now Heston dead within a fortnight of each other! Heston was the baby of that trio mind. R.I.P Heston, this is shaping up to be one of the worst years ever for Hollywood deaths.

It's a pity he died and he was a great actor, but he never came across as a very nice man.

That puts in mildly, he could be a real nasty person to interviewers and people around him with strong opinions. The whole gun control thing overshadowed him for me, the stupid things he would say about guns made him a lesser man. The stupid things he said to anti gun people was insane.

Still the gun people will get their wishes now, as Heston always said from His "Cold Dead Hands".

Its quite amazing he has died, I just always assumed he would keep going forever!

The amazing thing is his last film was

A Van Damme film! The Order!
