Charlton Heston Dies at 83
Charlton Heston, 83, an Academy Award-winning actor who starred in epics such as “Ben-Hur” and “The Ten Commandments” and then became a conservative political activist and influential president of the National Rifle Association, died last night at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif.
A family spokesman did not release the cause of death, but Heston said in 2002 that he had symptoms consistent with Alzheimer’s disease. In a message at the time, he told fans, “I’ve lived my whole life on the stage and screen before you. I’ve found purpose and meaning in your response. For an actor there’s no greater loss than the loss of his audience. I can part the Red Sea, but I can’t part with you.”
