Charlton Heston's early fame was in biblical
dramas, ala BEN-HUR and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Tall and handsome, with a commanding screen presence
and a great voice, Charlton Heston made his mark in historical
dramas at a time when earthier sex symbols like Marlon Brando
and James Dean were wowing audience with their naturalism in kitchen
sink dramas.
Charlton Heston's defining role was as Moses
in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Other notable films include: EL CID, TOUCH
OF EVIL, SOYLENT GREEN, PLANET
OF THE APES, THE
THREE MUSKETEERS, and TRUE
LIES.
