Charlton Heston (Moses of Ten Commandments) Passed Away at 84

If you have seen the movie Ten Commandments, then I’m sure you know Charlton Heston. He portrayed the role of Moses in the film and is perhaps his most prominent role ever in his acting career. Charlton Heston is a great actor and an Oscar winner. This guy was actually my mom’s favorite actor.

According to CNN.com

“Actor Charlton Heston died at his Beverly Hills home at the age of 84 Saturday, his family said.

Heston was suffering the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Heston, known for portrayals of larger than life figure including Moses and Ben Hur, was suffering the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Heston’s wife of 64 years, Lydia, was at his side at the time of his death, according to the family statement.

Heston is survived by a son, a daughter and three grandchildren.

“We knew him as an adoring husband, a kind and devoted father, and a gentle grandfather, with an infectious sense of humor,” the family said. “He served these far greater roles with tremendous faith, courage and dignity. He loved deeply, and he was deeply loved.”

While no funeral plans have been announced, the family said it would hold a private memorial.”
