Charlton Heston R.I.P.

Hope he was'nt on Westport321 list of people to visit before they die

Had a look on imdb there and theyre all going on about the cold dead hands quote. Bit sad that, even if you dont agree with the politics, its still not cool when anyone dies. You can say what you want but you have to respect the mans career and that he had the courage of his convictions.

Read in paper that he was not first choice for the role of Ben Hur.

Marlon Brando,Burt Lancaster and Rock Hudson all turned it down.I just cannot visualise any of those three in the role.

Seemingly Brando and Lancaster turned it down as they did not want to potray a Jew.

Will you say the same about Thatcher?

No because she was a woman. im not going to dance on her grave if thats what you mean

Thatcher, funny you asked. I played a major role in contributing to her political death. As leader of the largest Anti Poll Tax Union in Scotland. APTU ( Scotland ). The union had over Eight Thousand card carrying members - with branches all over Scotland .

Then you've just had your name added to my list of heroes.

And I wouldn't want a dancing horse at a funeral, don't believe in using animals for entertainment

whats a poll tax? we have three in the back garden, do we have to pay for them?

my dad made me sit thru ben hur just so he could show me a car in the chariot race and one of the actors wearing a watch, i asked if he remembered seeing the original race? don't know why he sent me to my room? what did i say?

You said watch - when you should have said take part. yer poor faither.

muffinz, I've seen the chariot they used for Ben Hur. Not sure if it the chariot is still there, but there is an old movie set near Tucson Arizona called Old Tucson, and it was there quite a few years ago, a bit out of place in the old west bar setting.

Speaking of chariot, this is still sitting in holllywood...
