I was never a fan of his (although I enjoyed him very much in three films - "The 10 Commandments", "The Bucaneer" and "Planet of the Apes").

Years ago I worked for a law firm that represented the NRA (National Rifle Assn) and Heston was the president of it then. There was a trial in Pennsylvania and a few of the secretaries were there helping out my firm's representation. One of them had to deliver some papers to Heston for his signature and went up to his hotel room. He answered the door in a ratty old bathrobe and his toupee was only half on. Hearing this description of him somehow ruined the vision of him parting the Red Sea for me forever.
