LOS ANGELES - Charlton Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing "Ben-Hur" and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the '50s and '60s, has died. He was 84.

The actor died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia at his side, family spokesman Bill Powers said.

Powers declined to comment on the cause of death or provide further details.

"Charlton Heston was seen by the world as larger than life. He was known for his chiseled jaw, broad shoulders and resonating voice, and, of course, for the roles he played," Heston's 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."

He was a great actor. His portrayal of Moses in the Ten Commandments is classic, and will be enjoyed for generations to come.

GREATTTTTTTTTTTTT ACTOR

I am saddened by his passing, and hope people will respect his humanity and ours by not making comments about political differences.

That is very sad news, he will surely be missed by many. He was a great actor.

Great Actor! May his soul rest in peace.

I agree. I was very sad when I saw that he had passed. I grew up watching him in the 10 Commandments. In fact I just popped that movie in the other day and watched it. Very powerful actor.
Rest in Peace Mr. Heston. We're going to miss you.

He had really bad Alzheimer’s so I am GLAD he is now in peace.

He was a great actor and a GREAT supporter of our second amendment but Alzheimer’s is no way to live…

My grandfather had Alzheimer’s and his passing wasn’t a sad thing, it was a joyous occasion because he was no longer suffering by being forced to live without a functioning mind.

It was better he go NOW, with dignity, then 5 years from now when he would have been nothing but an empty shell.

I hope this means that they will re-release his movies digitally enhanced… That would be pretty sweet!

WHAAAAAAAT?!?

Well at least he'll get to meet Moses and ask him how he felt he potrayed him in The Ten Commandments! ü RIP Charlie.

He was a great actor...loved him In "The Omega Man" , "Planet of the Apes", and "Soylent Green"....

HOWEVER...What I DON'T like about Mr. Heston is after marching in the Civil Rights movements in the 50's, he could see fit to be AGAINST Affirmative Action and revert to an ultra-conservative, gun-toting, reverse racism whining individual.

Guess he didn't have the intestinal fortitude to "stick to his guns" with Civil Rights, as he did with his NRA crap.

He was the BEST. He will never be forgotten.

He will be greatly missed, I am glad he is no longer suffering. I've seen what Alzheimer's can do to people. R.I.P. to another legendary actor!

I loved him! He will be greatly missed. I like how he kept going even though he was old. I'll watch the Ten Commandments in his honor. How sad.
