As you have heard by now, movie legend Charlton Heston has passed away at 84 years of age. His politics aside I have the fondness. Seeing Ben-Hur on the big screen of Detroit's Redford Theater in junior high was one of my defining moviegoing experiences. I was entranced by Stephen Boyd's Messala in particular (duh) and was incensed to discover that he wasn't the supporting actor Oscar nominee from the film. It's a cruel world for baby Oscarphiles.Links
