Charlton Heston was one of the biggest movie stars of the last half of the 20th century.
To put Charlton Heston’s career in some contemporary context, he was the Arnold Schwarzenegger or, if you like, the Chris Hemsworth of the 1950’s and 60’s.
Though, it must be said, Heston’s range of characters were far greater in more than 100 films he appeared in during a career that spanned six decades.
From his Oscar winning title role of Ben Hur to playing Moses in The Ten Commandments, and from his powerful performance in The Agony and The Ecstasy to his time-travelling astronaut in the original Planet of the Apes…. Charlton Heston was truly a movie hero for the ages.
But in 1981, at the age of 59, he was approached by his son Fraser to appear in an adventure film that Fraser had written, set in the Canadian wilderness.
The film was Mother Lode and co-starred Kim Basinger. Charlton played a crazy Scottish miner in search of his fortune.
But shortly before shooting started he found himself offered a further cinematic challenge, which he accepted.
Apart from an extraordinary movie career, Charlton Heston also had an extensive television career including appearing in the famous American soaps Dynasty and The Colby’s.
He was always an activist, who switched from the Democrats to the Republican Party and earned the ire of millions of his fans world-wide with a dogged pro-gun stance, including serving several terms as President of the notorious National Rifle Association.
And by the way, A bit of personal trivia, and perhaps a nice familial twist. His son Fraser had co-starred with dad as baby Moses ``in The Ten Commandments.

There is and always will be one Charlton Heston. What a legend! RIP Sir.
Charlton Heston's intelligence always shined through in all his interviews. Probably no other actor had such a grasp of movie making and the film industry.
An actor of most extraordinary skill and technique which made him unrivalled in all the epochal roles he played.. Salute to the phenomenon the Icon and an Enigma
Heston was the greatest actor EVER to grace the silver screen! He was also an accomplished author & artist. He wrote several books, one being Charlton Heston's Hollywood, where one can see the wonderful sketch he did of Burl Ives, his costar in the movie "The Big country". Gone but never forgotten...!
He was is. A loving and kind man. He went to BangaDash, Mr Heston is very giving man. He was so kind to the people never got upset with the press and all the people surrounded him. He give so much to the people and children. There will be a place in haven for this loving giving man. Charming man you Sir. And you sharing your wealth with people you don’t know. God bless you and you family for sharing you time and money to make our world a better place.
one of the top 10 actors of all time . 👍
Mr Charlton Heston was a ninth-generation American, that’s the reason he took on the NRA role. He should be remembered more for his huge cannon of work in films, tv, radio, & stage. He was a very ‘down to earth’ man, who was very humble. He’d just celebrated his 64th Wedding Anniversary to ‘his girl’, Lydia Clarke, three weeks’ before he died. RIP
My favorite actor ever.
Heston was born to play El Cid....epic!
This man made me man. Thank you Mr Charlton Heston.
Fantastic actor❤️
Charlton Heston = Great Man = Great Movies

Really a great actor
Extremely bright and talented man.
Charlton Heston the most brilliant actor of all time. God bless him Margaret xxxx
Very impressive guy….
El mejor actor para peliculas biblicas e historicas ,no hay otro como el
I sure did like watching his movies. .
Loved him in Planet of the Apes and The Ten Commandments!
to see how big and epic Heston was you have to realize that there hasnt been a single spanish movie that has come close to the sense of epic "The Cid" was in a "greater than life" sense. In Spain we are too constraint by reality and lack of epic. the search of the lack of epic as a virtue. Since Cervantes, I guess....we fight agains simple mills instead of real Giants. I salute you, Mr Heston! there is no other like you!
Excellent! Thanks.
All of them my favorites 🌟
Un attore formidabile, un uomo meraviglioso!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
El actor que interpretó a tantos personajes diferentes y tan bien para mí el mejor ,sin meterme en su vida fuera de la interpretación hay quien opinaba de el como actor de una manera y cuando fue el presidente del rifle opino todo lo contrario,también fue presidente de los actores y actrices de estados unidos,y todos estaban contentos
My heroes
....”I tell you the day Rome falls there will be a shout of freedom such as the world has never heard before!!”....
Che grande attore
I think Heston is not an american actor. He is an universal actor.
Excelente ator..
Don't compare Charlton Heston to Arnold sharzannga or anyone else , Annie doesn't even come close to Charlton Heston
My reference was purely in the context of big screen macho heroes, not their acting talents. No comparison.
@@johnhanrahansmoviestarintervie
No disrespect, but why even mention Arnold S at all!?
Rather an odd, slightly ambiguous comment IMO 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Anyway……sad that CH is no longer with us……
I NEVER tire of watching Ben Hur AND El CID!! Wonderful ❤️👍👍🙋♀️🇬🇧
@@bananacake9289 I think he's using it just to show how big and well known he was
Few stars of the last 30 years compare to the stars of the Hollywood's golden Era. Actors today are very good at disappearing into their roles. Actors like Heston towered over their roles. I miss the great stars of yesteryear. They had a presence you don't get now.
Why isn't he included in the "greatest male actors of Hollywood's golden era?"
Maybe because of his position on guns control. Hollywood hate him for that.
EPIC OF EPIC'S ------ CHARLTON HESTON --- NEXT TO THE CREATOR . FROM (U.K.(2022)
Arnold Schwarzenegger or, if you like, the Chris Hemsworth are mere mortals compared to the Brilliant Charlton Heston! Nobody is modern time compares to the great Charlton.
He was and still is one of my favorite actor ..
... his acting in the Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur was very influential... he was the right actor in my opinion “chosen by God” to play in those movies
I never understood the fact that for many people, he fail when choses to be the president of rna ..... lots Americans people like have guns regardless if for hunting or self defense... after all you can kill a person even with a kitchen fork so ....!!!??
Just because he was an ethical actor I don’t see the problem for him to support weapons... and I’m one that don’t even know of to shot.. I don’t have guns.
Anyway great actor ... then who is without sin cast the first stone .
I have got two movie DVDS of

thanks!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
le plus grand acteur aucun père et aucune mère ont mis au monde un acteur comme lui c était Charles c'est fini que la terre soit légère sur lui
I still associate Charlton Heston with biblical movies
A thoughtful gentleman as always. Just one complaint: I wasn't aware that the NRA was "notorious". Or could that just be Mr. Hanrahan's biased (and somewhat unwelcome) observation?
Just a fact. Check your dictionary.
@@johnhanrahansmoviestarintervie "Well-known or famous especially for something bad." And what's the bad then? Advocating gun ownership for self protection? Er...No.
@@pp312 Er, yes. The answer lies among the daily, weekly, national statistics for gun violence victims across the US.
@@johnhanrahansmoviestarintervie You know, I used to believe that too. I used to say, "Why the hell don't they do something about the number of guns in the US? There's just no need for ordinary citizens to have guns." Then I began to think about the original purpose of that amendment and became doubtful. Then the Left got into power over there under Obama, and now Biden, and there were riots that nobody did anything about, and things just started to become generally crazy, and I did a 180. I see now that the Founding Fathers wanted something that could checkmate the government should the government ever go rogue and turn the country into a police state, as is threatened now with vaccine mandates.
Just as an addendum, most gun violence in the US is gang related, and most gangs are comprise of poor blacks. Take guns from ordinary citizens and the gangs would still have them and the killing would go on. The only difference would be that the ordinary citizens would no longer be able to defend themselves.
@@pp312 Problem is that a lot of shootings are done by the "ordinary" citizens, not gangs. And btw, you can't shoot the government.
Isn't it interesting that now we live in a 'reality' of a Planet of Apes , eating Soylent Green.
Superb interview, thanks for sharing! Recently, Australia has proved Charlton right about gun rights. I bet those Covid Concentration camps wouldn’t exist if the citizenry still had their guns.
What year was this interview?
Hi, It was done in 1982. Charlton came out to Australia to promote Mother Lode. Cheers, John.
#$%^ Charlton Heston
👎🖓 for comparing Charlton Heston with Chris Hemsworth and Arnold Swartz...
Insistir é nadar na maionese parece. Estamos no Brasil. Vamos dublar. Para não passar por cima.
Really Chris Hemsworth?? Maybe Harrison Ford.
