Screen legend Charlton Heston, 84, passed away peacefully at his Beverly Hills home with his wife, Lydia, at his side.
His family said in a statement. "No one could ask for a fuller life than his. No man could have given more to his family, to his profession, and to his country."
The man who played Moses, the prophet who dared confront Pharaoh, had enough courage in real life to take on the gun-grabbers as president of the National Rifle Association. Unfortunately, the onset of Alzheimer's forced him to resign in 2003, after serving five years.
