Charlton Heston

John Charlton Carter
1922 -
American born Evanston, Illionis

Nickname Chuck . Height 6' 3" (1.91 m) . With features chiseled in stone, who else but Charlton Heston could you picture as Michelangelo, as Ben-Hur, as Moses? Heston's movie career took off with The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) and reached light speed with Ben-Hur (1959). Although he has played a pantheon of larger-than-life roles, he usually prefers to talk about the day-to-day daily grind of the movie business, and especially credits the writers and directors he has worked for much of his success. Though aging gracefully, the venerated Heston has lately been more interested in promoting right-wing political issues than acting. Spouse Lydia Clarke
(17 March 1944 - present) 2 children.
