Charlton Heston was indeed a great actor. His greatest role was his life. He acted like a great man and convinced a lot of people he was indeed great. The cowardice Heston demonstrated in 1977 was shocking to me at the time. When I see him acting brave in the movies I truly appreciate what an act he is capable of putting on.
Jim Carrey’s “Cold Dead Hand” was as brilliant work of wit and satire. His representation was consistent with my personal experience with Mr. Heston.
