Charlton Heston, a great American

I was really saddened by the loss of Charlton Heston. Not only was he a great actor, and a film legend, but he represented all that was good about America. For the Planet Shoehead portion of my blog-world, he was Taylor in "Planet of the Apes", and he was the leading man in "Soylent Green" and "The Omega Man" These were seminal films in developing me into the sci-fi geek I was to become.
So a hearty, thanks Mr. Heston! You were an amazing person...
