Heston spokesman Bill Powers says the actor died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia was at his side.

2 One of the all-time greatest performers in the World. None of today's limp-wristed thespians in Hollyweird can compare. |

1 Great summation in a few, very well-chosen words. I am old enough to have seen his great movies. Alas! When great men like this pass away, there are no others like them to take their place. God sends us such heros to show us a better ways.:) |
