His first film was 1950's Dark City. Other major movies include Ben-Hur (for which he won an Oscar), Touch of Evil, The Big Country, The Greatest Story Ever Told, The Ten Commandments, Planet of the Apes and Earthquake. He also appeared in The Colbys, Wayne's World 2, and provided a voice for Cats and Dogs. Heston died of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills on April 5, 2008, at the age of 84.
Quote:
'If you need a ceiling painted, a chariot race run, a city besieged, or the Red Sea parted, you think of me.'

Heston was president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003.
