A Tribute To Charlton Heston, 1923-2008, An Oscar Winner

Yesterday early morning, I opened up Yahoo mail and checked the news in there.  As I was looking at Yahoo news and found out about the death of a movie star named Charlton Heston.  He passed away last Saturday night.  I can't believe what I found out.  We surely will miss him very much but he's still the legend and will never forget him.  When I found out about his death, I do remember my then boyfriend, Todd, told me in the letter that he met Charlton Heston in a person at the mall in San Diego for doing a book signing during Christmas 1995.  Todd sent Charlton's book to me as a Christmas present in the mailing package cuz he knows I like to read books about famous people.  He was very lucky!  See Charlton Heston's real signature in his autobiography book below:


And his Christmas letter to me below.  Todd put an envelope in the book to surprise me.




If u are having trouble reading this Christmas letter, go to a Photos Tab in this Multiply page for clicking to magnify it, please.  It works for me.
 Yeah, Todd wish I could be meeting Charlton Heston in a person at the book signing there.  Wow!  I will never forget that Christmas letter and book Todd sent to me in the mail.
I finished reading a book about Charlton after 1995 was over but I will return to read it again later this year.




Charlton played Moses in 1956 film, "The Ten Commandments".



Charlton played Judah Ben-Hur in 1959 film, "Ben-Hur".

  1. That's really great that Todd met Charlton Heston at the book signing! He was a huge legend and will most dearly be missed.
